We at Boston Handmade certainly don't think so! After all, Christmas is only 128 days away (here is a handy dandy count-down clock, in case you want to keep track).

Planning for the Annual Boston Handmade Holiday Gallery is in full swing. Since 2008, we bring unique handmade creations to the Boston area. You will find fiber art, photography, pottery, mixed media, art glass, bath and body products, jewelry, and many more in one space. Most are one-of-a-kind, all are handmade by the artists who also staff the gallery. This gives our customers the opportunity to chat with the creators, learn about techniques, and receive answers to any questions they might have.

The first point on the agenda is finding an appropriate space. We are looking for:

1000-2000 sqft

vacant retail space at street level

high level of foot traffic

convenience to public transportation

availability from November 15th through New Year's Eve

Target neighborhoods:

Belmont, Leonard Street or Cushing Square

Brookline, Coolidge Corner

Downtown Crossing, Washington Street

Jamaica Plain, Centre Street

Waltham, Moody Street

Do you know the perfect spot for us? Where would *you* like to see the Gallery?

Please leave your suggestion in the comments or email to bostonhandmade@gmail.com , we are curious to see your ideas!
