Panda With Cookie returns to Geek the Halls this year! The event is held at the Doubletree Hotel and Event Center located at 1000 NE Multnomah St. in Portland, Oregon on December 17 and 18 from 10 to 5 each day.

This will be my last craft show of the season, so be sure to stop by if you’ve been waiting to get your Beholder. I’ll have a bunch of my Dr. Who ornaments ready, as well as piles of plush and baby onesies.

The PDX Browncoats host Geek the Halls and will have a table set up as well. Stop by to see if they have Jayne hat ornaments this year!

Christmas Ornaments for 2016 From Panda With Cookie

Christmas ornaments from my 2016 collection are here! I brought back a couple of old favorites and have some returning friends from last year as well.

Panda With Cookie Christmas ornaments always make perfect gifts! Need a quick office gift? Who doesn’t like the taco pirate or a dinosaur pair? Have a Dr. Who obsessed friend? They’re going to love a tardis and dalek ornament to hang on their Christmas tree.

Bigfoot (or sasquatch if you prefer) and the state of Oregon return for your Pacific Northwest friends. The very popular rainbow ornament returns for the third year in a row (and is my best seller over on Etsy).

Check out the whole collection in my shop, as well as a number of ready to ship cat ornaments. From office secret santa gifts to great uncle Algie, I’ve got the perfect Christmas ornaments for you.

Cat Ornaments Ready for Christmas

I have new cat ornaments in my shop this year for the holidays! There are a variety of colors and styles that are pre-made and ready to ship. Ginger tabbies, tuxedos, solid black, and more.

It’s incredibly difficult to sell custom work at a show and I had a lot of people ask about the cat ornaments, so I decided to make some and see how they did at my holiday shows last year. They were a hit, so this year I have them online so it’s easier for people to buy all the cats they need.

These make the perfect Christmas gift for friends and family. They are my number one seller and I get so many comments from people who give and receive them who enjoy pulling them out every year.

I am still doing custom cat ornaments for you as well! You can message me at pandawithcookie at gmail.com with photos of your cat to get a price quote or just follow the link to the ornament page.

All Saints Holiday Bazaar November 12th in Portland Oregon

Panda With Cookie is happy to announce that we will be selling at the 61st annual All Saints Holiday Bazaar again this year! The event takes place from 9-4 on Saturday, November 12th. All Saints is located at 3847 NE Glisan Street in Portland, Oregon.

In addition to over 40 handmade crafters, they have a kid’s shopping area, cafe, and bakery booth. They will also be selling $1 raffle tickets all day with the chance to win some great prizes, including an ipad air 2!

This is a great community event, so stop by and say hello! I’ll be debuting a new card and ornament set I did in collaboration with Carrot Condo this year.

Christmas Card and Holiday Ornament Collaboration with Carrot Condo

I am so thrilled to be collaborating with Carrot Condo on a Christmas card and ornament gift set this season! Trista has drawn a set of three unique dinosaur cards that you can color yourself. I’ve provided a brontosaurus ornament with a fetching scarf.

I met Trista last year at the Madeleine School show here in Portland and we’ve stayed in touch since then. This is my first time working on a set with another artist and it’s been a great process. Starting a new full time job and doing a full schedule of shows this holiday season has been an overwhelming task and it’s been great to meet up with Trista and work on this together to keep up my motivation and excitement.

Each set of 3 cards and 3 envelopes is packaged in a poly bag and a brontosaurus ornament is tied on with bright ribbon. These are perfect for gift giving. Kids will love the chance to get creative and make their own Christmas card to send out to their friends and family. Buy sets to stuff in anyone’s stocking. I am so excited and proud that these came together. Buy online in our shops at Panda With Cookie or Carrot Condo, in stores at all three Tender Loving Empire locations and at each craft show we’ll be at in the Portland, Oregon area including Crafty Wonderland.
