Need Some Love - Artisan Handmade
Posted August 18, 2018
There is something ALL handmade artists go through: you design a beautiful piece of jewelry, or create a fabulous painting, or crochet an intricate piece of table art, or . . . the list goes on and on. You have put so much of yourself into the piece, you love it and you are sure it will sell very, very quickly. Unfortunately, there it still sits in your shop . . . and you have no idea why!

Artisan Handmade Beauties - Three for Thursday
Posted August 16, 2018
My favorite reason to buy handmade is just that - it's handmade, which means quality, and a whole lot of love!
Cammi Higley
I love the quote above from Cammi about handmade . . . because it’s so TRUE! The artists featured in this week’s Three for Thursday blog definitely create quality products, all made with HUGE doses of love. The artists this week are Roxanne of watercolorsNmore who uses watercolors to convey the beauty of Florida; Sue of starspiritstudio who creates amazing rustic terra cotta findings and reclaimed tin earring dangles; and, Sharon of RavensBendFolkArt who paints one of a kind functional items with a whimsical folk art flair. If something catches your eye, please be sure to click on the photo or the link below the picture to be taken to the item for more photos and information. I hope you enjoy the unique artisan handmade items featured below. And remember: BUY HANDMADE!

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!

When you buy something handmade by a person, there is something special there. And you do feel it. The consciousness with which the thing is made is often more important than the thing itself. J. Donald Walters
I just love browsing through the shops of handmade artist friends. Who knows what new beauties - or old beauties you suddenly see in a brand new light - you will find! Two items from five artists are featured below (myself, included). I hope you enjoy these picks.
