Summer Fun - Artisan Handmade Gifts

 

 

The first day of summer will be here before we know it.  This year, the first day of summer starts here in the Borderlands at 9:54 a.m. MDT on Friday, June 21.  Although, by that time, we’ll surely have had several days near triple digits or some 100+ degrees. But it’s a dry heat and doesn’t keep me from doing much outside as long as I have a wide brimmed hat on my head and plenty of water with me.

 

 

Beach Boy / Fathers Day Hand Quilled Card Handmade by Abhilasha of PaperSimplicity

 

 

With the official start of summer so close, I decided to pull together “Summer Fun” blog.  So I asked many artist friends to share two items that were “summery.” I love what was submitted!  Some are more on the hot, hot hot summer side and some are more on the mellow cool summer side. But all are artisan handmade and many are one of a kind designs.  So if something catches your eye, please click the photo or the link below the photo for more information. I hope you enjoy all these beauties. And remember: SHOP HANDMADE!

Hope the summer doesn't get too hot for you, and that Seamus enjoys cool shade where he can overlook his kingdom. He deserves to be on the iron throne. Cheers from lazy Harry and his peeps.
