Once Upon a Christmas... Naturally, MelissaMade Heads Downtown!

Fall event season may be coming to an end, but Naturally, MelissaMade has one more very special stop before we wrap up 2026.

And this one comes with twinkling lights, Christmas cheer, handmade gifts, and a little bit of holiday magic. 🎄💜

On December 12th from 3 PM to 7 PM, I will be joining our community in Downtown Sylvania for the Annual Christmas Extravaganza!

And I cannot think of a better way to finish out this year's event season.

There is something special about our little town at Christmastime.

The lights begin to twinkle, storefronts are dressed for the season, families fill downtown, and our community comes together to celebrate.

This year, Naturally, MelissaMade gets to be part of the story too!

I will be setting up right in front of The Makery, so when you are making your way through downtown, be sure to look for me.

I will have plenty of handmade goodness waiting for you!

By December, my hooks will have made it through an entire season of fall festivals, community events, custom orders, fundraiser makes, and plenty of crochet adventures.

But they are not stopping before Christmas!

I will be bringing a selection of Naturally, MelissaMade creations that are perfect for gifting, stocking stuffers, or simply bringing home because something makes you smile.

You may find:

🎄 Christmas and winter creations

🧸 Handmade plushies and squishy friends

💜 Sensory friendly creations and fidgets

🎁 Small giftable makes and stocking stuffers

🧶 One of a kind crochet finds

✨ And whatever other Christmas magic manages to come off my hook!

Everything is handmade, which means quantities will be limited and the selection may look a little different from what you see online.

You never know what might be waiting on my table!

There is something extra special about giving handmade at Christmas.

Behind every handmade piece is a person who chose the yarn, picked up the hook, worked every stitch, stuffed every little piece, and turned an idea into something you can hold.

When you shop with Naturally, MelissaMade, you are not just choosing a gift from a shelf.

You are choosing something that was made by hand right here in our community.

And when you shop with the other small businesses and makers throughout the Christmas Extravaganza, you are helping support the people behind those businesses too.

That makes Christmas shopping feel just a little more meaningful.

If you have followed along with Naturally, MelissaMade throughout the year, I would especially love for you to stop by.

Come say hello.

See what has been coming off my hook.

Squish a plushie or two.

Ask me about custom crochet.

Tell me what you are making for Christmas.

Or just stop for a minute while you are enjoying everything happening downtown.

After a very busy year of creating and connecting, getting to spend one more event with our local community feels like the perfect way to finish the season.

This year's event season will have taken Naturally, MelissaMade from farmers markets and fall festivals to crochet demonstrations, community games, fundraising, and finally...

Christmas. ✨

Every event has given me another opportunity to share what I make, teach a little crochet, meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and become a little more involved in the community around me.

So this last event feels like more than another place to set up my booth.

It feels like the final chapter of a pretty special season.

And I hope you will be part of it.
