December 8, 2017
The annual 'Simple Christmas' market was held on Thursday, December 7.
Students, staff, and faculty were able to browse a variety of handmade arts, crafts, and food items and buy simple and affordable presents for family and friends. This year’s event was the largest yet, with many new vendors and returning favorites sharing their gifts with the CDH community.
Simple Christmas is a time to appreciate all the simple joys of the holiday season, especially the community and togetherness we feel this time of year.
Some of the products included: Monastery Scents: Soaps and Lip Balm, handmade cards, authentic Minnesota Twins jerseys, Friendship Club gifts, ceramic bowls, re-purposed jewelry, wood crafts, baked goods, mittens, afghans and bags, crafts from “Two Rusted Chandeliers”, Patty’s Jams and Jellies, Olivewood Gifts from Bethlehem, Honey from Peace of Heaven Farm, Caramels by Patty Hren-Rowan, varieties of sweet and savory studel from Ruhland’s Strudel Haus, and lightly used books.
We appreciate all of our vendors for spending the day with us.
