With just two weekends left before Christmas, the shopping started to get serious at the Oregon Convention Center, where two holiday markets popped up Dec. 9-11.

At Crafty Wonderland, the gifts were a bit more audacious—from shiny, brightly colored garland wreaths to dangly earrings to paintings of a patron saint version of Nicolas Cage.

The offerings veered more traditional at ScanFair, where you could find Fair Isle-style sweaters, creepy Santa dolls, sphere-shaped Danish pastries and a Viking ship (which, presumably, was for display purposes only).
