Lately, the days just seem to drift one into the other and I sometimes don’t remember which day it is. Like today! Since I have a whole host of arts festivals to participate in this fall, I was creating some new jewelry late this afternoon. Then I suddenly realized it was Tuesday . . . and I needed to pull together a Wonderful Handmade Wednesday blog. Yikes! But never fear, it got done. With the help of my trusty “numbers bowl,” today’s theme is “First Page, Fifth Item” (as of when the items were added). You’ll find a wide range of unique items in this post, something just waiting for the woman who adores artisan handmade beauties. Also, browse more of the items in the artist's shops. You'll be glad you did! Enjoy!

That's the thing with handmade items. They still have the person's mark on them, and when you hold them, you feel less alone.

I love the idea that when you hold a handmade item, that you feel less alone. I hope that everyone who wears a piece of my handmade jewelry feels that way! The one of a kind jewelry definitely has my “mark” with many good wishes and peaceful intentions added.
First - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Posted May 9, 2018
It’s been a while since I featured a full Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade post on my blog. The month of April was filled with 2 day shows on the weekends (sales were excellent for two and good for two) and I had to take a couple of unexpected short trips. So last week's post was postponed until this week. It was good to take a short break. Now we are into the second week of May! Where does the time go?
Today’s blog post, First, features ten items from ten handmade artists. The items chosen are the very first one in the shops (as of when this blog was written). I hope you enjoy the varied items from these talented artists.

First Page, Last Handmade Item - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Posted September 20, 2017
I always love to do random type blog posts, posts that don’t have a specific theme, like “flowers, “autumn” or based on a quote. For this post, I chose “First Page, Last Handmade Item” (as of when this blog was written),” a random pick of artisan handmade creations, the last item on the first page. Despite not having a specific theme, the handmade items from Indiemade artist friends always showcase a wide range of extraordinary talent. If an item catches your eye, either click on the photo or the live link beneath the photo to be taken to the item in the shop. There you will find more information and photos.
