Madeleine Marketplace Bazaar on Thursday December 8th in Portland

Panda With Cookie will be at the Madeleine school this Thursday, December 8th for their Madeleine Marketplace and Bazaar. They will have their annual tree lighting ceremony outside and a cafe with snacks, baked goods, handmade vendors, and kid’s crafts inside. The Madeleine Marketplace is located at the Parish Hall, 3123 NE 24th Avenue in Portland, Oregon.

Come see my collection of cat ornaments for sale, along with old friends like pirate stegosaurus and new plush including my shark and kangaroo.

My card collaborator Carrot Condo will also be there, along with old craft friend House of Six Cats. We can’t wait to see you at the Madeleine Marketplace!

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.

Llewellyn Elementary School is holding its holiday market on Saturday, November 19th, in Portland, Oregon. Panda With Cookie is happy to announce our attendance for the third year in a row.

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.
