‘Tis the season to begin thinking about gift giving and nothing could be more fun than attending Glynn Visual Art’s annual Mistletoe Market! It’s coming up this Friday – Sunday, November 21 – 23, with a new venue and lots of entertainment for the whole family to enjoy!
This year’s Market is held in both the GVA building as well as Postell Park, directly across the street. You’ll hear a strolling young ventriloquist, Cole Tucker, just thirteen years old with a voice you won’t believe! Phil King, our own local story telling songster will perform on Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 for your listening enjoyment.
There will be demonstrations on wreath making, decoupage, basket weaving, jewelry making and painting on glass. Sure to inspire you to make a few of your gifts this year!
This year’s event also includes a new event, a Wreath Affair, in which various artists and groups are hand making wreaths for silent auction to benefit Glynn Visual Arts. Judith Paixao, of Bermuda Sea Glass Jewelry fame, has designed a one of a kind wreath out of milky white sea glass. I have to say it is one of the most beautiful wreaths I have ever seen. Elegant yet simplistic, this amazing piece can hang year round as a beacon to fine island living.
Make merry and join in this fabulous weekend that will surely ring in the holiday season in a big way! Santa Claus will make his first appearance at 6:00 pm on Friday evening. What fun to see the light in children’s eyes as they are greeted by Santa!

Oh how I wish we could attend. My hubby is already threatening to pack his bag and head back to SSI. We’ve had our first snow but not enough to shovel. It is coming and he’s not a happy camper.

Having lived the better part of my adult life in cold, snowy climates, I can relate with your husband! Being a snow bird on St. Simons Island is a very good thing!
