Don't do malls? Me neither (except for the occasional trip to Target).
When it comes to the holidays, I want to give gifts that are handmade by my neighbors, not mass-produced in a sketchy factory a world away.
But I don't want to give crafts that are too precious.
For me, this weekend's Tivoli United Craft + Art marketplace is the answer.
It has an independent spirit — many of the Tivoli-based artisans have Etsy.com Web sites — and the works for sale have style.
Check it out.

This is great!
Isn't there a store in Beacon that carries works by similar craftspeople?
You are correct Ann Marie.
The store to which you are referring is Feel Design at 175 Main St.
I am going to be profiling the store and its owners — who have one foot in Brooklyn and the other in Beacon — for an upcoming Poughkeepsie Journal story.
