This week is absolutely, without a doubt, one of my favorite weeks of the year. Even though my house gets messier, despite my constant cleaning and my legs hurt from the baking and the running, there is just something so magical about it.
I wanted to let you all know that tomorrow, individuals who have Etsy shops can come here and link to their shops on Mr. Linky making it easier for shoppers to find their stores. It’s something new here called Handmade for the Holidays.

In addition to that, I’ve gathered up my friends and we have come up with some super fabulous items that we LOVE that we think you’ll love, too. I’ll be featuring these through the middle of December.
For instance, just look at this clutch that Arianne LOVES:
It’s the cutest clutch EVER and it’s homemade. See? Things like that.
Shopping homemade is awesome. I purchased many items from Etsy last year and received many, too and they were my favorite items to purchase (and receive!)
My goal is to make your holiday shopping not just easier but also more unique and also to help out that courageous person who believe in themselves enough to share their talents with the rest of us!
P.S. Any help you can offer by spreading the word would be GREATLY appreciated!
PPS. If you have a product you’d like to see featured, you can contact me with the link for consideration. Just email me at handmadepieces (at) GMAIL dot com.

Great idea, Beth! I love Etsy shops. I need to start start a list linking to my faves to send it to my hubs.

I’m on Etsy almost every day looking and dreaming about the baby girl things I find. One of these days I’m gonna buy a bunch of stuff and my husband is going to wonder where all his money went!
I adore that you are featuring some of the work here on your site Beth!
i’m so excited for this. i’m going to try to stay away until the girls are in bed tomorrow, because then? serious shopping going on.
What a great idea, Beth. I love Etsy, too. I’ve been trying to narrow down choices for an iPhone cover – there are some truly adorable ones to choose from!
I love buying handmade gifts…during the holidays (and all throughout the year). It’s great to support entrepreneurs – especially considering that so many of them are so very talented..
