I love shopping handmade.  My friends and I have made a decision this Holiday season to try our best to only buy handmade and let me tell you…if shopping is THIS fun…I can’t imagine seeing what they are gifting this year.  (let’s just say, it better be good.)

(I’m just kidding.)

(but I’m not.)

Seriously, I am kidding.*

Anyway, I have six products  and five shops I wanted to share with you today, four of the shops were chosen by my very stylish and saucy personal friends of mine who have amazing taste (especially in choosing friends *cough*.)  The other shop is a shop of my choice that I think everyone must check out and buy something for me.  or you know, your neighbor.  or a teacher!  a bus driver!  or me!  Whatever.

Also, this is a little funny to me, because I AM NOT CRAFTY but I plan to share a few handmade ideas of my own with all of you beauties over the next few days.  Things I KNOW you can do, too.   Just imagine inexpensive and simple.  (or cheap and easy.)

(disclaimer: if I suddenly do not post for a few days, it could very well because my sister is giving birth to her baby and she lives four hours away and I need to be there for the moment this baby enters this world because I need to cuddle and kiss it and spank it’s bottom as soon as possible.  You understand, right? Good.)

Behold the awesome:

handmade for the holidays

1.  Silhouette Thank You Cards Do I want these for Christmas?  YES, PLEASE.  $25 for a set of 16.  (handpicked by Lovelyn)

2.  Love birds Tea Towels I love tea towels, in fact, I have two that I purchased from an Etsy shop that I think are the cat’s meow.  If you don’t have one, you should try them, they are the best. $15  (handpicked by me.)

3.  Chyrsanthemum Hair Pin Garden OMGTHECUTE.  seriously, people.  Can you look at these pins and not yell at them for being so cute?  What’s that?  Only I yell at things when they are cute?  Well, you should start, it’s fun.  $8.50 (handpicked by Stephanie.)

4.  Be the Miracle This is such a fabulous statement, especially worn as a necklace.  $38 (handpicked by Erin.)

5.  Alphabet Print These prints are one of those things that hang on your walls in your kids’ room and you walk past it and it makes you happy.  I can just imagine holding our new baby in front of these prints and pointing out the letters.  *sigh.*  I love these.  (and you can get them personalized!) $25  (handpicked by Sarah.)

6.  Petal Pusher Just imagine this piece of fabulous-ness pinned to the front of your coat or a simple black dress.  DARLING.  $15  (handpicked by me.)

Happy shopping, friends.

*I’m not kidding.
