Shopping Shopping and more Shopping
I started my handmade holiday shopping today, and I wanted to share a few places I've shopped recently. I wont show the exact items in case some of my family reads this.
First I went to MackleyEngraving
Wendy is very easy to work with. She does wood engraving, from signs to Christmas ornaments. Give her studio a look, I know you'll like it. (actually I shopped with her a few days ago.)
My next stop was BazilEssentials
she has wonderful handmade candles, perfumes & soaps Lots of great gift ideas there.
I then made my way to joannmarch
She has so many beautiful cards from holiday cards to thank you notes. Give her studio a peek I know you'll find something you like.
And the last stop on my mini shopping spree was CountrySoapsbyMarlene's
You can almost smell the yumminess when you enter her studio. You'll find from handmade bar soaps and shampoos to laundry soap. Go take a look around, I'm sure you'll find something you like.
If you found another studio on ArtFire that you shopped recently leave me a comment I'd love to check it out.

Time to shop for Christmas cards
I've been thinking about starting some of my Christmas shopping, and I think where I am going to start is on Artfire. This was my first online shop and I really like the fact that they let artisans have a free shop. I know that when I start to sell enough I will change to a pro shop, but for now I can show & sell my handmade items here without having to commit to pay a monthly fee. I put together a curated collection today featuring Artfire Basic shops that have Christmas cards, if you would like to check it out here is my Basic Cristmas cards collection. Maybe you will see something you like, if so I'm sure they will appreciate the business.
One of my ideas when I do my shopping is to look at basic shops that I like first and then go through some of the pro shops that I like. So, when you start to think about doing some Christmas shopping and you want something unique think about shopping handmade, check out Artfire they have so many amazing artists in so many different areas. One thing I feel I must say is always be a bit wary when buying online, shop smart, check out the shop see if they have a bio or policies in place do they have a banner and avatar and last but not least send a short message to the person and see if they respond in a timely manner. Anyone that is truly legit will answer and be pleased to hear from you. I wish you all happy shopping.
So Here is my latest project I'm working on:
I'm thinking of calling this one windows. ???? I'm not sure about it maybe I'll think of something better.
