Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 4

 

 

Wow!  Where did week 4 of the Countdown to Christmas go?  Fortunately, a wide variety of amazing artisan handmade items were left behind.  According to the ever ticking Christmas clock, Christmas will be here in only 69 days!!!  The Countdown is the perfect place to start your holiday shopping. A good motto to live by this Christmas gift buying season:  Shop Early, Shop Often!  And, above all, Shop Handmade!!!

With the rapidly approaching gift giving season in mind, Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions are hosting a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2018 of artisan handmade items on their The Blu Print blog.  The twelve week time period was chosen to correspond with the ubiquitous Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas". This week, there were 54 shares from 18 artists. The artists shared a wide range of handmade gift ideas: jewelry of all sorts, art prints, crocheted pieces, lampwork beads, fun dog related items, vintage inspired art, woodwork and other beautiful creations.

Shop owners on Indiemade, Shopify, ArtFire, Fine Art America, Etsy, a stand alone website and the like are welcome to share up to three gift items between Friday at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and Monday morning at 12:01 a.m.  A new Countdown collection of gift items will begin again the next Friday. This will continue until the second week in December. The items shared need to be G-rated.

If you share items on the Countdown to Christmas collection, you ***MUST*** promote the collection and ***EACH*** item on at least one social network site, preferably Pinterest, Twitter or G+ where the items can be easily seen and then promoted again.  It's only fair to promote each of the participants who have promoted you!
