Diane Powers’ Bazaar del Mundo Shops in Old Town will host author and jewelry artist Federico Jimenez Caballero for an exclusive trunk show, Friday and Saturday, December 16-17, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Federico's stunning turquoise and red coral creations have been worn by Christie Brinkley, Ali McGraw and Elle McPherson, who remain loyal collectors of his work. After the Hollywood stars began buying his jewelry, he quickly became an established and recognized artist in the industry. With a deep love and respect for his indigenous roots, Federico began collecting jewelry and textiles that reflected his culture at a young age. After meeting his wife and following her from Tututepec, Oaxaca to Los Angeles in the late 1960s, he carried on his passion of jewelry by opening a series of shops to the public. During the trunk show event at Bazaar del Mundo, Federico's stunning jewelry will be available for purchase alongside collections from other indigenous and southwestern artists. The event is free and open to the public. To join the festivities, visit the Bazaar del Mundo Shops at the north entrance to Old Town on the corner of Juan and Taylor Streets.

The San Dieguito Art Guild, is a 200-member all-volunteer nonprofit organization that operates the Off Track Gallery located in the Lumberyard Shopping Center in Encinitas. Run by a board of 15 elected Directors, SDAG was organized in 1965 by a group of artists for the purpose of promoting greater understanding and appreciation of the fine arts. Karen Fidel, one of the event organizers, says, “This event gives local artists a venue to offer their hand-made items to the public. And gives the shoppers a chance to purchase one-of-a-kind artworks, which cannot be found in chain stores. There are no imported items at this Bazaar. In addition, the buyer is purchasing work directly from the artist and can meet them face to face.” Guild President Judianne Shannon says, “Even if you have been to our Holiday Bazaar in the past, there are new artists and new items to see. All of our artists have been juried into this show so that the buyer can be assure of a quality product.” There will be a Silent Auction of artworks donated by the participating artists. Cheryl DeLain, jewelry artist says, “Our artwork is special because it is from all local artists and often of local scenes. Our Bazaar features really special deals on silent auction items where the proceeds help support our Off Track Gallery.” Each of the participating artists have a real passion for their craft and it shows. If you are looking for a unique gift or just decide to treat yourself, this Bazaar is the place you will find it.

Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “1001 ‘Fritters’: Food in the Arabian Nights,” featuring Charles Perry, at Saturday, January 21, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library. As a collection of wonder tales being recited to hungry audiences in Middle Eastern bazaars, the Arabian Nights naturally included a number of references to foods. Translators have generally fudged their identity with guesswork — even though a number of medieval Arab cookbooks have been translated by now, several by Charles Perry. For instance, three totally unrelated sweets are usually translated as ‘fritters.’ Charles will lift the curtain on these mysterious treats. Charles Perry, grandson of a silent film screenwriter and great-grandson of Gold Rush pioneers, is an internationally known food writer. He is the president of Culinary Historians of Southern California, was a major contributor to The Oxford Companion to Food and served two terms as a trustee of the annual Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery. Perry is the author of numerous publications in the fields of food and the Sixties. The event is free and open to the public.
