Make It an Artisans Mothers Day - Week 5 Gifts - 2025

RED ALERT!  Mother’s Day will be here very, very soon - in fact, it's next Sunday, May 11.  It’s still not too late to order a handmade gift (do it now!) from the beauties shared this week on the Countdown to Mother's Day 2025 Week 5.  The Countdown was hosted again this year by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog.  Hard to believe this is the last week of the Countdown - time sure flies by!  Despite that, 8 handmade artisans shared a total of 24 wonderfully unique items, some of them one of a kind designs. Browse the wide range of eye catching shares for this week, visit the shops of the artists featured and buy your Mom, Grandmother, aunties (or yourself!) something that was HANDMADE from the heart!  By shopping small, you'll also support a small indie business (and for that, we are eternally grateful!). 

Featured below are my favorites from this week's Countdown to Mother's Day:
