Holiday shopping really gets underway this weekend with Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, but if you want something truly unique, Northeast Ohio’s craft shows are a great place to start. 

Here are the details on a couple of shows in the area:

• The Cleveland Craft Coalition is hosting its annual Black Friday Craft Fair at the Spitfire Saloon in Lakewood. The details are on the coalition’s Facebook page. 
• Crafty Mart will be open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday at Musica and We Gallery in Akron. According to Crafty Mart’s website, the crafts available range from bags to cards to clothes to pillows and jewelry. There’s also art, including music, photography and sculptures. 

If you know of any other shows this weekend, add them in the comments! And if you're hosting or attending a craft show after this weekend, but before the holidays, add it to our free event calendar.

The Plain Dealer has more craft shows for this weekend and beyond on its website.
