Make It an Artisans Mothers Day - Week 7 Gifts - 2026

Week 7 of the Countdown to Mothers Day 2026 zoomed right on by . . . and in it's wake, 30 handmade / designed items were left on the link-up by nine very talented artists.  The Countdown is hosted by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog.  Each unique item will make a memorable gift for Mom on her day.  Since Mother's Day will be here soon, on May 10, this is the perfect time to purchase a gift(s) for your Mom - and, perhaps, for other loved ones and yourself!  These items often go very quickly, and, since many are one of a kind designs, don't miss out!  Browse all the wonderful handmade shares for Week 7, visit the shops of the artists featured and buy your Mom a beautiful gift that was handmade from the heart.  When you purchase from these shops, you're supporting small indie businesses!
