Make It a Handmade Christmas 2020 - Week 4

 

 

Where did Week 4 of the Countdown to Christmas go?  It quickly blew right on by.  According to the ever ticking Christmas clock there is only 72 days until Christmas is here again!  Now is the perfect time and this is the perfect place to start your holiday shopping.  Follow this motto: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN! And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE on the Countdown to Christmas 2020 - Week 4 collection of artisan handmade!

 

 

 

Faux Turquoise Nugget Chain Necklace with Swarovski Crystal Handmade by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions

 

 

 

With the rapidly approaching holiday gift giving season in mind, 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.  The twelve week time period was chosen to correspond with the ubiquitous Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" - this version by Burl Ives (brings back childhood memories - my parents loved Burl Ives!). Thirty-three handmade items from eleven artsts were left in this week's wide-ranging gift collection: jewelry of all sorts, note cards, crocheted items, lampwork glass, digital art mask and wooden puzzles 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.

 

 

 

Rustic Green and Yellow Polymer Clay Boho Leaf Earrings Handmade by Linda of VictorianStyleTreasures

 

 

 

If you share your own 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:
