The Friday Find Top 10 Shops for Handmade Christmas Gifts

22 Oct

Even as the leaves change color today The Friday Find is all about handmade presents for Christmas. Speaking as a person who shops handmade year round there is no better way to give something special and unique than shopping handmade. I own many pieces of clothing, jewelry, and more thanks to the creativity of many handmade artists.

    How wonderful! Lovely suggestions, I am really honored to be included in this great company. I love shopping for handmade items, especially for gifts. I simply is so much nicer to give and receive something made with passion, heart and soul, rather than in a large factory on the other side of the globe!
