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!

Wow!!!  June is already here!  Can't believe it's been a month since I shared the newest jewelry pieces in my handmade shop, so decided to rectify that now.  Six new designs are shared along with three older pieces that have never made it onto a blog.  All the designs are one of a kind, except for the kity cat Christmas earrings.  If something catches your eye, please either click on the photo or the link and you'll be taken to the item in my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS shop for more information.  All of the jewelry is handmade by me.  Thanks for stopping by!  And please remember to support a small indie shop!

Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 8 Favorites - 2024

Posted November 12, 2024

 

 

It’s all going by so, so fast!  Week 8 of the Countdown to Christmas 2024 has already come and gone, with only four more weeks remaining!  The ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown Clock doesn’t let up - according to it, Santa and his flying reindeer will start their journey in only 42 days!  Yikes!!!!  Need a perfect place to start / finish your Christmas shopping? The Countdown - a chance for artists to come together and share three of their unique gift ideas - is the just the place to do that holiday shopping!  Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions are hosting the twelve-week Countdown to Christmas of artisan handmade items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog (where you can also see the first seven Countdowns).  This week, 33 items, many which are one of a kind designs, from 11 artists are featured.  The artists shared a wide range of handmade gift ideas: jewelry of all sorts, Christmas money holders, thimbles, lampwork beads, limited edition art prints, digital art, t-shirts and much, much more.  A wonderful motto to follow: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN!  And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support hard working indie artists! 

 

In addition to promoting each handmade item from the Countdown collection to my "Countdown to a Handmade Christmas 2024" Pinterest board and on my Twitter feed, I decided to share one item from each of the artists who participated this week.
