Holiday gift markets roll out their wares
By HEATHER DOUGLAS
FOR COAST WEEKEND
he Columbia-Pacific region
has become a hub for makers,
crafters and artists. This week-
end is the first chance to get an early
start on holiday gift shopping. Below
are the first handmade and home-
grown holiday gift bazaars to check
out the first week of December.
T
HiiH Lights Winter Bazaar

Lam Quang and Kestrel Gates
of HiiH, makers of artisanal paper
lights, will host their third annual
one-day handcrafted homegrown
gift bazaar.
The family hosts two bazaars a
year — one in the summer and one
in the winter. While the summer ba-
zaar is partially outdoors, the winter
bazaar will be inside the barn.
The bazaar will bring artists,
makers and farmers — everything
is handmade. Just a small sampling
