Handmade Holidays
By Lisa Peck, ASID
I take every opportunity I can to celebrate creativity and beauty. The holiday season is full of endless opportunities. You can craft, create, bake and decorate to your hearts content. Not everyone is Martha Stewart so if you don't want to/don't have time to/aren't inclined to...but still value the handmade quality of an old-fashioned holiday this week our blog will feature some great tips on where to obtain a handmade holiday.
Today handmade gifts for your friends and family. I visited No-Coast-Craft-a-Rama this past weekend and found some great things...No Coast is over but you can still buy items from these great people and I will tell you where.
I thought of my husband when I saw these fun cigar box guitars...they can be amplified. A funky, afforable handmade guitar. by Soup Hunter Guitars.
Great screen print shirts from The Medium Control in Duluth.
Buckminster necklace by Orange Peel Enamel.
Cute monster coin purse stocking stuffers by Trigo.
