One for grandma...two for me... Gift ideas for the friends and family...and for yourself!

Look at the treats I discovered while perusing the collections of our talented NC members! From grandma, to the kiddos, to the mother...and yes, even a treat (or two or three) for myself.... What amazing finds for the upcoming holiday handmade season!

I love this stunning decoupage book box for my poet grandmother by Old Broom Street. It has such an air of mystery and beauty, and I know my grandmother would gently tuck her poetic musings into the velvet lined box: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34286835

And doesn't everyone love a happy blood drop? My director at the blood bank would adore this lovely wallet by hippofabulous: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10787331

And of course for the boys in my life, a racing heirloom quality quilt by Carolina Patchworks: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10433854

And be still my heart! The colors are so happy and bright! My lovely flamed-haired niece would look amazing in this outfit by The Laughing Giraffe! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10433854

And this one is for me! It honors strong women, and I know my mom would adore it... but hopefully my husband will read this blog and take the hint! :) Cowgirl Up Collage by LuLuSandbar http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14355721


This is a perfect hostess gift, and I love the idea of using them as placecards too. Way back in the day (pre 6-and 3-year old boy days ..) my husband and I actually hosted parties that didn't revolve around Spiderman! Owl Mini Notecards/Placecards by Whimsypics: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34261732

And for the sister that is finally going green, but will only carry her groceries in style, is this adorable market tote from PurpleDaisies: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19206952

And for the hubby..the man who swore he was fine with Zest soap. However, the funny thing is that my handmade soaps keep disappearing quickly. I have a thief in my shower, so it's time we added to his own collection! Also, I adore this scent so I'll be able to borrow it! The Nag Champa soap by Karenssoaps: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31822844

Have fun browsing our fantastic collection of artists! Happy Holidays!
