Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - 2022 - Week 7

 

 

 

 

It is so hard to believe (at least to me - how about you?) that this is the first day of November . . . . and that we have only 5 more weeks of the Countdown to Christmas 2022!  It’s also hard to believe that Christmas will be here before we know it.  According to the ever ticking Christmas clock, there are only 53 days until jolly Santa Claus drops down that chimney and either leaves wonderful gifts or lumps of coal for deserving or not-so-deserving boys and girls.  Since Christmas is less than two months away, now is the perfect time to start your holiday shopping.  And the Countdown is the perfect place!  Remember this motto: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN!   And, most of all, please BUY HANDMADE from small indie business owners!  Since everything is handmade from the heart, we truly appreciate each and every order!

To help you get a good start on your holiday shopping needs, Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions are hosting a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2022 of artisan handmade items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog.  The twelve week time period was chosen to correspond with the ubiquitous Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas.”  Stopping by this week were 12 artists who left a grand total of 36 shares, a wide range of handmade gift ideas: stylish jewelry of all kinds, note / Christmas cards, Christmas gift tags, crocheted baby gifts, photography items, lampwork beads, print them yourself Hanukkah cards and other beautiful handmade creations.  Many of these beauties are one of a kind . . . so snap them up now!

 

In addition to promoting each handmade item from the Countdown collection to my "Countdown to a Handmade Christmas" Pinterest board and on my Twitter feed, I decided to share one item from each of the artists who participated this week.  Here are my picks of the items, in an order determined by drawing numbers from my trusty numbers bowl.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the shares:
