"Small and local" is my mantra for overseas-bound Christmas gifts. I'm thinking a trawl through the next Portobello West market for Ragged Wire Art's signature "trees" in wire, metal, and semiprecious stones, or maybe something by Stella de la Paz, who works with shells, fish-skin leather, and fish bones, combined with silver. Then there's Shi Studio's pendants, brooches, and cuffs, incorporating the delicate patterns of Chinese silk brocade. Jot it in your diary: Sunday (November 25), noon to 6 p.m., at the Rocky Mountaineer Station (1755 Cottrell Street, just off Terminal Avenue behind Home Depot); a free shuttle leaves from Station Street and Terminal Avenue every 20 minutes.
