The Best of Holiday Shopping

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.





Deryn Mentock of Something Sublime - I have been a blog stalker of her work for a couple of months and find her work very inspiring. Art and jewelry are both lovely and I encourage visiting her at her blog and then checking out her shop.





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!







The Art of Happiness


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.

First you have to check out her altered book, http://karenswhimsy.com/altered-books/happiness/.

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.... http://artful-journey.com/ scroll down...you'll find it. I promise it is worth it.



Charming Sam will be at Thread in San Francisco this Sunday, November 16th from noon to 5:00pm.

The Galleria, 101 Henry Adams Street, San Francisco Design Center, San Francisco, CA, 94103 DIRECTIONS

See all the deets at the Thread site.

Might as well give it a whirl


One of my favorite websites is artfulhome.com. They have wonderful artisan jewelry, art, glass, etc., etc. Today I got the following email from them.



Brighten your holidays with a miniature masterpiece from North America's finest artists. From November 7 to December 2, 2008, we're giving away a different artist-made ornament every day. No purchase necessary to win.

A grand prize winner will be selected at the end of the event to win a 3-Ornament Display by Julie and Ken Girardini. Every day you enter to win an ornament is an extra chance to win the grand prize!

Wow- you are so productive! I really enjoyed your aceos. Are you only selling those on your website & not etsy?
