Yesterday I posted a link to the Hand-Made Holiday Gift and Craft fair that MAD commenter and CBBM documentarian, Spike and his wife, Sacha host and tonight I thought I’d go check it out. And you’re invited too!

Brrrr...it's cold out here tonight!

Luckily, it's a short walk and here we are at d.b.a.

And here's a sign for the 7th Annual Hand-Made Crafts Fair, let's go check it out.

It's nice and dark inside and the bar is marble at the end and wooden in the middle, nice.

And the lovely and friendly bartender, Brie is quick with a beer and a nice smile.

They serve a huge variety of beer and have a large liquor list as well, some of the varieties are listed on the boards hanging over the bar.

Candle lit wooden tables line the wall opposite the bar.

And it looks like the craft fair is back here.

Wow, it's very festive and cozy back here!

And here's the hosts of the fair, Sacha and Spike!

Sacha is the founder and director of Stiggly Holistics, an East Village, New York City based holistic wellness center.

She had an impressive display of items for sale ranging from various balms to tea cups, pottery, granola and tea.

Let's take a look around and meet some of the other vendors in the fair.

Here's Deborah who had a nice selection of blown glass items on display.

Cid was selling hand=made jewelry and told me about an access cable show called, "Mark After Dark." I have to meet this guy! She also had two little wooden hands on her table that frightened me a little bit!

Karen was working at her table that boasted a very nice array of hand-made items.

This is a great event and I'll be back next year for sure.

Thanks to Spike and Sacha for the invitation and for hanging out with me, I had fun, but now I have to go and face the cold.

Yikes, it's even worse now. I haven't had a fire in the fireplace so far, but I think I'm going to fire it up tonight! Let's get moving!

Here we are...aaaaahhh...wait a second...a Cardboard Box Man in a fireplace? Probably not the best place to try and scare me.

Burn, baby, burn! Could this be the end of the Cardboard Box Man's reign of terror? Probably not, but one can hope! Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.
