Make It an Artisans Mothers Day - Week 9 Gifts - 2026

Posted May 5, 2026

Watch out! Mother’s Day is looming - less than a week from now on Sunday, May 10. Order artisan handmade / designed gifts NOW from all the beauties shared on the Mother's Day Countdown 2026 Week 9. 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 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 / designed from the heart! By shopping small, you'll also support a small indie business (and for that, we are eternally grateful!). Remember: SHOP SMALL!

Featured below are my favorites from this last Mother’s Day Countdown of 2026:

Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 3 Favorites - 2024

Posted October 8, 2024

It's amazing just how quickly Week 3 of the Countdown to Christmas 2024 sped right on by . . . with a wide variety of gorgeous artisan handmade / designed items left in its wake. According to the ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown Clock, there are only 77 days until jolly Santa Claus and his merry band of reindeer are delivering packages once again. With the rapidly approaching gift giving season in mind, Julie and her wonderful four-footed sidekick, Harry, are hosting a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2024 of artisan handmade items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog, part of their Blue Morning Expressions Shopify shop. This week, there were 36 shares by 12 artists featuring a wide range of truly unique gift ideas: jewelry of all types, coffee mugs, party tags, photographic and digital art, baby gifts, watercolors prints, and a host of other beauties. If you need a perfect start to your Christmas shopping, the Countdown is the place to do just that! An excellent motto to follow is: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN. And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support small indie businesses!

Each week during the 12 week Countdown, I pick a favorite item from each artist (hard to do!) and feature them here on my blog. Here are my favorites for Week 3:
