Great Holiday Gifts and Decorating Items

I have so many wonderful, talented friends that I would love to spread some love their way by featuring some of their beautiful items. Perfect for gift giving or decorating for the Holiday season, you'll find something for everyone on your list.

Mona creates wonderful, sewn and quilted items from baby items to gorgeous wallhangings.
This is one of my favorites from her Etsy shop, Sewinggranny.


For that special lady on your list we'll head over to Amanda's shop, Chloe Boutique
Wow, how about this stunning Citrine, Smoky Quartz and Sterling Silver pendant necklace


Melana from By Nana's Hands, designs beautiful sewn items for all ages.
Her plush toy tool sets are one of my favorites from her shop


Strolling down to Chris' shop, CraftsByChris, you'll find fabulous handmade Artisan polymer clay beads and tutorials by Chris Dembinski. Of course since these are purple they are one of my favorite beads from her shop :)


Sharla's shop, Beaded Tail, has beautiful jewelry perfect for the animal lover. Sharla also donates a portion of all sales to a variety of animal awareness causes so stock up on her beautiful jewelry designs and help an animal in need at the same time :)


If you like great Vintage finds then you will love Michelle's shop Silk Creek Gallery.
Beautiful vintage pieces and great prices!


My friend Marilyn of Star Waves makes the most amazing beaded jewelry! I love this teal bracelet.


Jody of MamaJody makes the most adorable crocheted items, everyone's favorite seems to be these wonderful sock monkey hats, Jody has been crocheting in her sleep to keep up, LOL!


Peggy of Arriving Angels creates beautiful quilts. I own a couple of them and I just love them!
Peggy will also custom create the perfect item for you if needed .
Isn't this "Puppy Love" quilt just precious!


Shannon of Vixens Natural Jewelry creates stunning wire wrapped jewelry. She is amazingly talented and such a sweetheart. If you can't find just what your looking for she will custom create just the right item for you.
This is just one of the gorgeous items Shannon has made that is in my collection :)


And one of my newest friends is an amazing painter. Karen of HandMadeGalore has created many beautiful custom pieces for my home. If your looking for a hand painted piece for the Holidays or every day check out Karen's shop and if you can't find just the right item, she'll create the perfect one of a kind item just for you!


That's all for now, I will be spotlighting more shops over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for stopping in and thanks for checking out these wonderfully talented Artist shops.

Yep, that's right. In just 12 days I will be closing my jewelry shop on Etsy ( http://www.cblandcompany.etsy.com )
Now is the time to get some bling for huge savings! Spoil yourself or someone you love :)
All items in my Etsy jewelry shop are 35% off with the exception of my "Anderson House" section.
Thirty Five percent of those sales will go to the Anderson House, a shelter on Prince Edward Island to help mentally and physically abused women and children.

I want to thank all of the wonderful customers I've met from Etsy as well as the many Etsy friends I now have. My customers can still purchase from me at my other venues and I will be keeping my Beadz shop open for a while yet on Etsy. I will also continue to be a loyal buyer, supporter of my fellow artist friends.

Here's hoping 2009 is a prosperous year for "Buy Handmade".
