It's a four day market that featured 323 national and international merchants selling gifts for the entire family, including: home décor, gourmet food, garden, clothing, sporting gifts, novelties, accessories and Christmas décor. All proceeds from the market benefit went to the Houston Ballet Foundation. My friend Lindsey & I went together and did a little damage. Next year we are going to come prepared with a list now that we know everything that this market has to offer. This is definitely a new tradition that I am gladly adding to the coming years. :)
In other news, my mums survived! It's a miracle I tell you. Everything I plant usually dies within weeks of me planting it.
We had a nice weekend of shopping and spending time with friends. Even though KSU didn't due so hot against MU. :( There's always next weekend!
I was wondering if that was any good! Wish I would've gone dangit!! Did you go to the Christmas Market at Second Baptist? It was pretty good! Not near as big as that one but still some cute stuff!!

Oh my gosh...next to missing my family and friends...I think I miss the Nutcracker the most! So glad you loved it. Its so overwhelming the first time. Makes you want to go back day after day! I might have to fly 17 hrs at some point, just to come! Its amazing and the food....

ReplyDeleteI kept wanting to know how that was every time I would hear about it on the radio. We will have to go next year because it looks like a blast!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so mad that I didn't go to this Nutcracker market. It looks awesome! So bummed!! Your mums look great, so perty!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Nutcracker Market! It always gets me in the mood for Christmas. I am taking a half day tomorrow and going to "A Christmas Affair" which is the JL Christmas Market here in Austin. Can't wait! Glad you had fun...and your mums look great!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the KC Junior League. Did you ever go with your mom? She works with my sister, Gretchen.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to experience the Nutcracker Market. My mom and I look forward to it every year! I think I gain 5 pounds each time tasting all the yummy treats they have :)
ReplyDeleteYour mums look so good! Mine are a lovely brown color :( Oh well!
Have a good weekend!
I had some mums and they didn't last very long. One of them was picked on everyday by Carson so that didn't help. He was always sayng pretty flower and picking them to give me. So how could I have been mad at that?
ReplyDeleteThat marketplace looks really cool. Back in Overland Park they have a KC merchant that looks like that. It is open to business owners only and have everything you can imagine. I usually go there every Jan to replenish on jewerly for the day spa that we own.
