Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 9 Favorites - 2025

Warning!  Warning!!!  Christmas is quickly barreling down on us!  It's hard to believe it will be here soon.  And the ever ticking Your Christmas Counrdown Clock let up: according to the clock, there are only 42 day (as of today) before Santa and his traveling reindeer buddies start their journey.  And, also hard to believe is that week 9 of the Countdown to Christmas 2025 has come and gone.  The Countdown is where artists come together to share three of their unique (often one of a kind) creations and then promote each other.  This week, eleven artists shared a total of 33 unique items.  The twelve week Countdown to Christmas, hosted by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog, is the perfect place to start / end your holiday shopping.  Find those special gifts for loved ones on the Countdown!  An excellent motto to follow this holiday season is : SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN!  And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support hardworking indie shop owners! 

In addition to promoting each handmade item from the Countdown collection to my "Countdown to a Handmade Christmas 2025" Pinterest board  (and others) and also on my Twitter feed, I share one item on my blog from each of the artists who participated this week.  Here are my "favorites" picks of the items.  I hope you enjoy these unique items!
