We're all hearing a lot of talk this holiday season about shopping local and what it means to a community. But Talulah Jones shop owner Robin Lohre is doing more than that: Beginning December 1, Lohre will host a reception showcasing a different local artisan every night through Christmas Eve. Check Show and Tell daily to see who's on the night's roster.

Kate McPhee is one of those Renaissance women who can do everything, and she does. Not only that, but all the results are, I don't know, utterly heartwarming: inspirational without being gushy, thoughtful, pretty in a handmade kind of way and feminine, but in a modern sense of the word. Whether it's a copper plaque, an original print, a notepad, a card or a hand-sewn patchwork wallet, it's perfect for someone; maybe that someone is you.

McPhee spreads the love tonight from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Talulah Jones, 1122 East 17th Avenue; visit Talulah Online or or the Talulah Jones Facebook page, or call 303-832-1230 for details.
