Odds n Ends: Support the Maker's Gift Guide 2019

Every year I see SO MANY wonderful gift idea's for the holiday's while I'm scrolling and browsing online. Knit hats, personalized jewelry, artwork, fun family gifts like ornaments and mugs, and of course awesome ideas for the nerds and bibliophiles! ;)

Maker's work HARD creating products their customer's will love and enjoy for year's to come. As a crafting girl since I was little, and an Etsy maker myself, I know the effort and time and love put into everything we make.

We all know that handmade touch makes for an extra special gift. As the holiday's arrive, not everyone has the time or maybe even the skill to create something handmade to give family and friends. Every year I see hundreds of maker's doing their thing so beautifully I want to share their creations with the world! So why not show them off in a gift guide for the holiday season? Yes, I think I shall...

A lot of these shops are companies I follow year-round, have bought from at times, and believe in. So trust me when I say you're going to love them! :D

Pixel Berry Pie Designs - Tarissa is an online friend who creates fabulous prints: her best seller's are Monopoly game card prints! Genius and fun for a school room or family room! :D She loves, loves, loves books so there are ton's of bookish prints as well that you must check out.

Bella Handmades - Courtney is a dear friend as well, and she makes and sells unique jewelry pieces...including gorgeous wood-burned jewelry and cutting boards! So many fun and beautiful items, you really have to take a peek.

The Healthy Farmgirl Organic Products - I've known Melinda for years online and she is very dedicated to creating her products. She sells unique items I've never seen elsewhere!

Dogwood Finch - Megan is a new maker I "met" this year who sells some of the sweetest, most exceptional artwork I've ever seen! She's a children's book illustrator, and also has her artwork to sell as cards and prints. She has cute animal scenes, and lovely peaceful nature scenes, and I'm in love with her newest terrariums. I love her little fox in the snow card (row 2) it's my absolute favorite!

Our Nest Decor - I LOVE this shop...she has far too many exquisite home decor pieces, it would be difficult to pick a favorite. However, the Philadelphia Eagles sign has to be the winner for this Delaware gal. 🦅😂

Tiny Book Town - If you love books, this is your shop! She has so many mini book title necklaces available in many genres.

Lila Rose - This isn't a handmade shop, but it's one I adore and has consultants who work individually in their own "shops" (think mary kay) and I have gotten to know these ladies, so I've included it in my list here. I have been using these amazing, unique hair clips for years and years. They hold thick-thin hair and there are always new designs and sales. If you follow one or more of the consultants you can find so many hair styling ideas on social media, too! :D

Odds n Ends Quilt Shop - Lastly I have myself, of course. I have added some pretty Christmasy items to the shop, and have mug rugs, bookmarks, and table runners ready for gifting. The bookmarks make excellent stocking stuffers!
