Hot Fun Under the Summer Sun - Artisan Handmade Gifts - 2024

 

 

The official start of summer will soon be here.  It takes place here in El Paso on June 20 at 2:50 p.m,  Officially June 20 will have 12 hours, 8 minutes and 59 seconds of sunlight, about 4 hours and 9 minutes longer than on the shortest day in December.  To celebrate the hot, hot summer days, I asked artist friends to share two items that represent “hot summer fun” - something with hot colors, a sun, beach or tropical theme,  sunflowers and the like.  Some items shared are more on the blazing summer side and some represent a more mellow, cool summer.  However, ALL are artisan handmade / designed and many are one of a kind pieces.  So if something catches your eye on this Hot Fun Under the Summer Sun - Artisan Handmade Gifts - 2024 blog, please click the photo or the link below the photo for more information and pictures of the individual item.  Hopefully one or more will make it into your shopping basket - treat yourself or someone else to a unique artisan beauty!  And remember: SHOP SMALL and SHOP HANDMADE!  Small artisan shops will THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for hosting this special Summer Fun post.

Problem with STUPID Etsy, won't let me copy the link of the listing to tweet. BOY they are really messing up everything.

I have tweeted all 1st group and pined that would allow me. Don't know any way around it. There is no tweet button from the etsy listing, except mine.

I will tweet and pin the 2nd group tomorrow and if anyone has a solution - the only thing I know is for etsy people to post their tweets here.

tweets

Tweets seems to working for others on Etsy, so I'm copying their posts and reposting.

Going through all the 2 listings for all tonight.

Wonderful blog, Catherine!
