People like the homemade things

People like the homemade things "People like the homemade things," said Karen Carroll, who chairs Our Lady of the Ridge's annual craft and vendor fair along with Mary Liston.

"I think people like to find unique things, and you'll find more unique things at a craft show than you could find in a store."

Our Lady's free fair, which will take place Nov. 13 at the Chicago Ridge school, is just one of dozens of local craft and vendor shows that Southlanders can peruse to find knickknacks and spokeswoman essentials for around the home.
