Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - 2022 - Week 9

 

 

Christmas is barreling down on us like a runaway freight train!  It will soon be here.  Week 9 of the Countdown to Christmas 2022 has come and gone and the ever ticking Christmas clock doesn’t let up.  According to what it says today, Santa and his traveling buddies will start their journey in only 39 days, just a bit over five weeks from now!  The Countdown is a place for handmade artists to come together and share three of their beautiful (often one of a kind) creations and then promote each other.  Need a perfect start / end to your Christmas shopping?  Shop the Countdown to Christmas to browse and purchase that special piece!  An excellent motto to follow this holiday season is : SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN!  And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support hardworking indie shop owners! 

 

 

 

"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" Christmas Holidays Coffee Mug, 11 oz, Designed by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions

 

 

Since the holiday gift giving season will be here before you know it, Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions are once again 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 never-ending Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas."  This week twelve artists shared 36 items, a wide range of beautiful handmade gift ideas:  jewelry of all styles including necklaces, bracelets and earrings, hand crocheted baby gifts, Christmas money holders and cards, fun coffee mugs, a toddler t-shirt and other beauties that will make excellent gifts for even the hardest to please person on your list.

 

In addition to promoting each handmade item from the Countdown collection to my Pinterest board and 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 each and every handmade beauty.
