I just finished taking a walk around the beautiful Masonic Temple and checked out all of the great vendors at the Scottish Walk Marketplace. 18% of all sales from this weekend will be donated to The Campagna Center.

I have to mention that Barkley Square and Karing by Kristina had a wonderful display designed by our friend Joyce Frank. Barkley is selling Holiday Dog Treats, Scottish Kilts, Doggie Bling, Juicy Couture, dog beds and more. (see picture above with owner Kristina Robertson)

Some of my favorite vendors include:

The Sugar Cube, which has a darling shop in Old Town that makes you reminisce about childhood with some of their retro candies.

The Patricia Palermino Studio, with their contemporary folk art.

Catalyst Tea Enhancers, with their innovative gourmet spice blends.

and Magical Monograms, I particularly liked their houndstooth items (Roll Tide!)
