Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 6 Favorites - 2024

Posted October 29, 2024

 

 

It’s hard to believe that we’re already half-way finished with the twelve week Countdown to Christmas 2024!  Yikes!  That means Christmas is bearing down on us and will soon be here.  According to the ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown Clock, there are only 56 days (as of today) until Santa and his merry herd of flying reindeer arrive once again.  With the rapidly approaching holiday season in mind, Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions continue to host a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2024 of artisan handmade items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog.  Start your holiday shopping now on the Countdown - a perfect place to buy unique gifts!  This week, 24 handmade / designed items from 8 artisans were shared in the wide-ranging gift collection: jewelry of many different styles, fine art prints, throw pillows, thank you stickers, Christmas ornaments, lampwork glass beads and more!  A wonderful motto to follow: SHOP EARLY and SHOP OFTEN!  And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support small indie businesses.


In addition to saving each handmade item from the 12 week Countdown collection to my handmade Christmas Pinterest board and Twitter feed,  I pick a favorite item from each artist (hard to do!) and feature them here on my blog.  Here  are my favorites for Week 6:

Artisan Handmade Gifts - Thank You

Posted July 20, 2023

 

 

Recently, I asked several artisan friends to aprticipate in a "Christmas in July - Artisan Handmade Gifts - 2023" blog promotion, involving leaving two items on an InLinkz.  Once the InLinkz ended, I pulled together a blog featuring the wonderful items.  All items from the InLinkz and the blog were to be promoted on at least two social media sites.  That's the usual deal for the many years we have been promoting each others items.  Twelve friends participated, making a total of thirteen counting me.  To thank the seven artists who took the time to stop by and leave a blog comment (as of writing this, Wednesday morning the 19th), I decided to pull together an "Artisan Handmade Gifts - Thank You" blog.  From each shop, I chose an item that immediately caught my eye and shared them here in the order of the comments left.  I hope you visit the shops of these wonderful artists.  And remember to SHOP SMALL and to SHOP HANDMADE.
