Make It an Artisans Mothers Day - Week 3 Gifts - 2026

Where did Week 3 of the Countdown to Mother's Day 2026 go???  The weekend was here . . . and then, too quickly, it was gone.  The Countdown is hosted by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog.  This week, 30 handmade / designed items from 10 artists were shared.  Each unique item will make a memorable gift for Mom on her day.  Since Mother's Day is quickly approaching, on May 10 this year, this is the perfect time to start thinking about and buying a gift(s) for your Mom . . . and, perhaps, for other much loved women in your life.  Pssssttt, by the way, don't forget about a gift for yourself!  These items go quickly, and, since many are one of a kind, don't miss out!  Browse all the wonderful handmade / designed shares for Week 3, visit the shops of the artists featured and buy your Mom a beautiful gift that was handmade from the heart.  Since you'll be supporting a small indie artist, the purchase will be GREATLY appreciated!  Remember:  Shop Small for Mother's Day this year!

Here are my "favorite" picks (hard to pick a favorite from each artist!) from all the wonderful items shared:
