'Ti's the Season for crafters and bazaars. One of Cape Cod's outstanding bazaars is the Holly Berry Bazaar. They have some amazing crafted items, all done locally, to choose from, and the prices will not break the bank. After the election lines -- get ready for another line as this bazaar draws crowds early in the morning.

There is also a raffle and guess who is the First Prize -- you got that right! Take a chance, and win two nights and two massages at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa. So if you don't have anything going on this weekend, come to Cape Cod; enjoy a relaxing couple of nights at the Inn and experience the Holly Berry Bazaar.

Also, this past weekend, we went to Provincetown for a Sunday drive. What a great time of year to head on over. The sales for your early Christmas shopping pleasure, were really good. The clothiers had some really great prices and the art galleries offered nice discounts. Had lunch at the Lobster Pot. Their prices seemed a little high, but the amount of food certainly made up for the cost. We order the clam chowda' and Portuguese Cod and Chiopino. Both were delicious.

Here is the information about the bazaar:

Holly Berry Bazaar
