Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 7

 

 

 

Week 7 of the Countdown to Christmas was gone in a flash!  Left behind is a unique collection of artisan handmade items for all to browse and, hopefully buy.  According to the ever ticking Christmas clock, Santa will visit all good boys and girls in only 48 days!  Need to start your Christmas shopping? The Countdown is the perfect place to do just that! A good motto to follow: shop early, shop often! And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE!

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 2018 of artisan handmade (and sometimes vintage) 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 42 shares from 14 artists. The artists shared a wide range of handmade gift ideas: jewelry of all sorts, holiday thimbles, crocheted items for a baby, lampwork beads, stained glass quilt designs, wooden puzzles, gift tags 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.

 

 

 

Oval Simbercite with Pyrite Gemstone and Sterling Pendant on Leather Cord Handmade by Diane of Dianes Dangles

 

 

 

If you share items on the Countdown to Christmas, 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!

In addition to saving 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 (except those who shared late).
