Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 10 Favorites - 2025
Posted November 18, 2025
Wow! It's pretty amazing that we are already at Week 10 of the Countdown to Christmas 2025 with only 2 more weeks to go! Time sure can fly by. The ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown Clock doesn’t let up: only 36 more days until Santa and his herd of flying reindeer make a nighttime visit to leave welcome gifts or lumps of coal. Since the holiday gift giving season is lurking just around the corner, Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions are once again hosting a twelve-week Countdown of artisan handmade / designed items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog. The Countdown is the place for artists to share three of their beautiful (often one of a kind) creations. This week eleven artists shared 33 items, a wide range of wonderful gift ideas: many styles of jewelry, Christmas ornaments, lampwork beads, Christmas notecards, art prints, photo albums, keychains, and many other unique items. If you need a perfect start or end to your holiday shopping, please shop the Countdown to Christmas; browse and purchase that special piece for that special person! An excellent rule of thumb to follow this holiday season: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN! And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support small, independent artisan shops!
In addition to promoting each handmade item from the Countdown collection to my "Countdown to a Handmade Christmas 2025" Pinterest board and on my Twitter feed, I decided to share one item from each of the artists who participated this week. Here are my "favorites" picks of the items - hard to chose! I hope you enjoy these unique items!

New Jewelry at Shadow Dog Designs, Handmade, One of a Kind
Posted May 18, 2025
It has been a good while since I shared any new jewelry here on my blog. Spring is always busy with planting flowers. I choose mostly native plants that are proven to attract pollinators: hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and/or wasps. A hearty dose of cosmos, zinnias and sunflower seeds are planted also planted, all also very attractive to pollinators. Another dust is brewing outside, so I decided to pull togther a blog of the eight newest pairs of earrings along with two of the newest necklaces.
