Make It a Handmade Christmas 2020 - Week 3

 

 

Week 3 of the Countdown to Christmas quickly sped right on by . . . and a wide variety of lovely artisan handmade items have been left in its wake.  According to the ever ticking Christmas clock, there are only 79 days until Christmas is here . . . once again. This is the perfect place to start your holiday shopping.  A good motto to follow: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN! And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE!

 

 

 

Green and Copper Mesh Lampwork Globe Galaxy Sphere Pendant Necklace Handmade by Charlotte of Covergirlbeads

 

 

With the rapidly approaching gift giving season in mind (much too rapidly, so many of us believe!), Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions are hosting a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2020 of artisan handmade items on their The Blu Print blog and on their Shopify blog.  The twelve week time period was chosen to correspond with the ubiquitous Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" - this version by Straight No Chaser (a GREAT version!). This week, there were 36 shares by 16 artists of a wide range of handmade gift ideas: jewelry of all sorts, keychains, note cards, crocheted and knitted pieces, lampwork glass, digital art; wooden puzzles; and, other beautiful handmade 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.

 

 

 

Bohemian Rustic Polymer Clay Elephant Earrings Handmade by Linda of VictorianStyleTreasures

 

 

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 and/or Twitter 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.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the shares:
