Make It an Artisans Mothers Day - Week 1 Gifts - 2026

Posted March 10, 2026

 

 

Julie and the Handsome Harry Dog of Blue Morning Expressions are once again hosting the ever popular “Mother's Day Countdown.” Last year's Countdown was a resounding success . . . so the 2026 version is up and running.  Be sure to check out the Mother’s Day Countdown 2026 Week 1 on Julie and Harry's Buy Handmade from Makers blog. Since Mother's Day will be here before you know it - on May 10 - this is the perfect time to start thinking about buying a gift(s) for your mom, grandmom, aunts and/ or other beloved women.  Ten artists shared thirty unique items;  many are one of a kind designs.  Browse all the wonderful shares, visit the shops of the artists participating in this week's Countdown and buy your mother a beauty that was handmade / designed from the heart!  When you do that, you support a small, independent business (which makes us do a happy dance)!  Be sure to #ShopSmall for Mother's Day this year!  To show off some of the wonderful shares from this week's Countdown, I've shared a favorite item from each artist below:
