Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - 2022 - Week 8

Posted November 8, 2022

 

 

 

It’s all going so, so fast:  week 8 of the Countdown to Christmas 2022 has already come and gone, with only four more weeks remaining!  The Countdown is a chance for artists to come together and share three of their beautiful gift ideas, each one a perfect gift for a loved one.  The ever ticking Christmas clock doesn’t let up - according to it, Santa and his flying reindeer will start their journey in only 46 days!  Need a perfect place to start / finish your Christmas shopping? The Countdown is the place to do just that!  A good motto to follow: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN!  And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support hard working indie artists! 

 

 

 

Set of 12 Woodland Animals Mini Note Cards / Gift Cards Handmade by Claire of ClaireMDesigns2

 

 

Because of the holiday gift giving season, 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 ever present Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas.  This week, 36 items - many which are one of a kind designs - from 12 handmade artists are featured.  The artists shared a wide range of handmade gift ideas: jewelry of all sorts, note cards, photographic gifts, gift tags and stickers, hand crocheted gifts, a selection of Kindle books, Christmas ornaments and other beautiful creations.


 

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:

So many great choices in the handmade gift category in this post. Have shared everything and scheduled more posts. We're under a hurricane warning, so hopefully I will come out on the other end by Friday. Many treats to the Keeper of the Lizards from Hurricane Harry
