Let the shopping begin! At least if you are like me you haven't started any of your holiday shopping and just beginning to think about who has been naughty or nice. So, I wanted to offer up some of my favorite web stores and sites for good bargains on handcrafted goods.
http://manamoon-studios.blogspot.com/ - Sharon is amazing and her store is on my list for holiday giving.
Liz @
Wickedly Chic is one of the hardest working supporters of indie/hanbcrafted businesses I've ever met. Check out the wonderful businesses in her
Holiday Gift Guide.
If you are in the area of Bethlehem, PA I highly recommend checking out one of the most wonderful galleries,
Monsoon. Rori Franges is the gallery manager and the gallery is beautiful, contemporary and has a nice range of art. Even if you aren't in or near Bethlehem the website is worth checking out and they have lots of lovely gifts online.

And a new favorite to share with you ---
Kreativlink. Look at these lovely leather journals? mmmmmmm! Love 'em!

While trying to steal (yes I said steal) keywords (
www.keywordspy.com) from other similar jewelry sites I was cruising Alexa and somehow found this artist, Karen Hatzigeorgiou. I'm smitten.
I got on her blog and found this post about the
Olema Cemetery. I live near this cemetery. Not like it is next door or anything but a hop skip and a jump is all it would take. I'm there. Sculpey in hand to make castings. Check out Karen's finds here....

Wow- you are so productive! I really enjoyed your aceos. Are you only selling those on your website & not etsy?
I am in the process of making some of those too- maybe we can trade?
I have been working on my website & I think its about there- check it out. www.teamzvonik.com
It also features the work of my husband who is a glassblower & metal sculptor! He has an etsy shop too . . . teamzvoniktoo

It's great meeting someone like you! Thanks again for finding me and happy art making!
