Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 12 Favorites - 2025

Posted December 2, 2025

 

 

Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . tick.   According to the Your Christmas Countdown Clock  there is only 22 days until Christmas is here!  It’s hard to believe that 12 weeks have already gone by since the Countdown to Christmas 2025 started.  The Countdown has been graciously hosted all these weeks (and many years) by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions (shop on vacation now but will be open soon) on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog. Yes, Week 12 of the Coundown to Christmas has come and gone and 24 artisan handmade / designed items from eight artists were left in its wake.  Any of the beauties will be perfect for a Christmas gift, one that was carefully created from the heart.  Support independent artists by helping Santa make it a HANDMADE CHRISTMAS this year! 

 

In addition to promoting each handmade item from the Countdown collection to my "Countdown to a Handmade Christmas 2025" Pinterest board and to my Twitter feed, I share one item from each of the artists who participated this week.  Here are my "favorites" picks of the items - it's always hard to choose!  I hope you enjoy these unique items.

Hot Summer Fun 2025 - Artisan Handmade - Week 1

Posted July 10, 2025

 

 

To celebrate the hot, hot summer days, I asked artist friends to share three items that represent “hot summer fun” - items with hot colors, beachy vibes, flowers, sun designs, tropical themes, etc.  Some items shared are more on the blazing summer side and some represent a more mellow, cool summer.  However, ALL are artisan handmade / designed and many are one of a kind pieces.  So if something catches your eye on this Hot Summer Fun 2025 - Artisan Handmade - Week 1 blog, please click the photo or the link below the photo for more information and more pictures of the individual item.  Hopefully one or more will make it into your shopping basket - treat yourself or someone else to a unique artisan beauty!  And remember: SHOP SMALL and SHOP HANDMADE!
