This week, we noticed how the colorful foliage called attention to the angles and the colors in the roof and stonework in this view of the Old South Church in the Back Bay.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been showing ways the colors of fall call things to our attention.

Last week, over on the Trip Advisor Boston forum, a visitor asked about Christmas Markets. It made me think about the special Holiday Markets and events like CraftBoston that I could recommend to anyone thinking about a special shopping experience that will result in presenting unique, handcrafted, or at least carefully selected gifts for the holidays, or to stockpile for the rest of the year.
Here are some of the events and places I recommend to avoid chains, keep the money local, and support hard working artists and artisans.
Madeleine Ahlborn's Edge 2012 (mixed media and oil on canvas 6×6 feet)
The Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts will hold their Annual Art Sale of student, alumni, and faculty work from November 29th to December 2nd. (The photo above of one of the pieces on offer is courtesy of the Museum School. )
SOWA Holiday Market Saturday & Sunday, December 8 & 9, 2012. This is always a fun event and if you've attended in the past, you should note that they have a new location. This year's market will be held at the Ben Franklin Institute, 41 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA.
If you are in the North End, stop by the North Bennet Street School Gallery for carefully crafted gifts from this school's skilled students and alumni. This neighborhood also has a nice collection of small shops and is a wonderful place to buy food gifts.
And, Beacon Hill, and Charles Street in particular, still has a wonderful collection of neighborhood shops where you can buy hand selected items in a warm, friendly place. The community has done a great job of protecting their neighborhood from chains so it's worth a visit.

With schools like Emerson, Berklee, and New England Conservatory nearby, the Public Garden often becomes a rehearsal hall. On Sunday, we spotted this young woman practicing belly dancing with golden Isis wings.
