Posted October 18, 2022

 

 

Time seems to go by more and more quickly each week - week 5 of the Countdown to Christmas has already come and gone!  According to the ever ticking Christmas clock, there are only 67 days (barely over 2 months) before Jolly Ol’ Santa and his roof-clattering reindeer arrive once again. With the rapidly approaching holiday gift giving season in mind, Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions comtimue to host a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2022 of artisan handmade items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog. Now is the perfect time to start your holiday shopping and the Countdown is the perfect place!   This week, 33 handmade items from 11 artists were left in the wide-ranging gift collection: jewelry of all different styles, hand crocheted baby items, notecards, jigsaw puzzle, Christmas apron, sticker labels, lampwork beads, Christmas ornaments and more.  Remember this motto: SHOP EARLY and SHOP OFTEN! And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support small indie businesses.

A Little of This, A Little of That - All Handmade

Posted December 17, 2015

Many months ago, a team of wonderful artists pulled together to form a group called the Cross Partners in Promotion.  It's a group that not only heavily promotes each other, but also offers congratulations, offers support, offers sympathy, offers interesting and entertaining articles, and abounds in cheerleading efforts . . . and comforted each other after unexpectedly loosing a dear team member.  Most of us have known each other online for years and have become an extended family.  I decided to share a wide range of lovely handmade items from my artist friends who have checked into the group in the past seven days.  I hope these beauties are enjoyed as much as I have enjoyed picking them out and sharing them!
