Oct 30, 2009 (The News-Sentinel - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- BKS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- November is a knockin', and regional artists are preparing for the holiday season with convenient, fun shopping.

--Twenty-five area artists will sell their work at a shop set up at Jefferson Pointe, open Sunday through Dec. 23. This is the second year for the Artworks Holiday Art Gallery, located next to Barnes & Noble bookstore. The gallery will sell paintings, photography, jewelry, clothes, pottery and more. Hours: 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Saturday; noon-5 Sundays.

--For the 10th year in a row, 14 potters will get together to present various works in clay.

Shopping also is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Nov. 7-8.

Sample holiday fare at Fresh Market

Fresh Market is hosting a "Taste of the Holidays" sampling event noon-6 p.m. Nov. 6 and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Nov. 7. Check out smoked salmon, standing rib roast, pies, eggnog and more.

If you're just not into cooking, or cooking an entire holiday meal, Fresh Market sells two complete meals or an a la carte menu.

The traditional menu includes a turkey, stuffing, whipped potatoes, gravy, cranberry relish and rolls, serves six to eight and costs $79.99. For the deluxe version, which serves eight to 10, add a petite spiral ham, corn souffle and green beans amandine for a total cost of $129.99. Pick up an order form at the store, 6306 W. Jefferson Blvd., or print one from the Web site, www.freshmarket.com. The Fresh Market suggests ordering in early November.

Holiday cards from Easter Seals Arc

Easter Seals Arc and local artist Julia Meek have collaborated again for the 24th annual Portraits of Pride.

This year's offering, "Past Memories Build Future Dreams," has been printed on holiday cards and sweat shirts and is being sold by Easter Seals Arc, with proceeds benefiting the organization's programs.

The new artwork portrays Santa and his reindeer flying above the old Wolf & Dessauer department store.

Cards, prints and shirts can be ordered by calling 456-4534, Ext. 264, or online at www.eastersealsarcnein.org. They're also available at Anne's Hallmark stores, Riegel's Pipe & Tobacco at Georgetown, Creative framing on North Anthony Boulevard, Umber's Do it Best Hardware in Waynedale and Easter Seals Arc at 4919 Coldwater Road.

Why buy new clothes for kids?

A children's used clothing store has opened at 6427 Bluffton Road in Waynedale. Most pieces of infant and children's clothes are 99 cents at Y Buy New?. The store also sells maternity clothes, used toys and baby equipment.

The store accepts trade-in clothing and offers a 50 percent discount to those who bring in items to trade. Hours: 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday; 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday. Lori and Kevin Jackson are the owners. Phone: 747-4202.

Donate coats at Lands' End

Lands' End has organized a national coat collection. Through Nov. 30, anyone who donates a gently used coat at a Lands' End shop within Sears (at Glenbrook Square here) will get 20 percent off the purchase of a new Lands' End coat.

Meijer, Walmart vie for low prices

Looks as if Meijer and Walmart already are competing for your holiday shopping dollars. Both recently issued news releases announcing price cuts:

--Walmart says it will offer "weekly deep savings events" and new "everyday low prices" on thousands of items through the holiday season. For example, rolls of 73 percent lean ground beef are now $1.25 a pound, a 26 percent savings, and Bakugan traps (toys) are $5, a 36 percent savings.

--Meijer is changing its approach to sale items with three different categories: Everyday Best Price, Sale and Price Drop.

Everyday Best Price products have been dramatically reduced in price, according to Meijer's news release. Sale items will be reduced in price for a limited time.

More items will be added to the Price Drop category, which includes thousands of items that are promotions or special deals from the suppliers. These Price Drop items will be reduced in price for a longer time than Sale items.
