Xiztance

With the the holidays just weeks away, time is running out to find that perfect gift. Lucky for you, I'll help you out and tell you that chainmaille makes a great gift for just about anyone! The multitude of different weaves mean that everyone will find something suited to them. And it's unisex...even better!

Xiztance has some of the most beautiful work I've seen. Just check out her Eye of the Storm sterling silver bracelet.

Organidog

Have you ever read the label on a can of pet food? If so, you're probably aware that pet food often contains so many mysterious animal parts and byproducts that it makes spam look wholesome.

Luckily, there are now more healthy pet foods on the market, such as Organidog's organic, free-of-weirdness pet treats. And if that wasn't enough, she also specializes in custom dog collars and leashes, so you can walk your dog in style!

Zahour

I'm always amazed at the stunning work by all of the jewelry artists out there. Just take a look at Zahour's Collette ring - need I say more?

Stop by her shop, http://zahour.etsy.com/ to view even more fabulous metalwork by this talented artist.

Snug Bug Clothing

Snug Bug Clothing features baby gear in awesome colors and patterns. Just check out this matching set with a bib, changing pad, and burp cloth!

Heart of a Cowgirl

Stop by the Heart of a Cowgirl shop for more recycled leather bracelets and other handcrafted jewelry featuring sterling silver and quality gemstones.

Besem Natural Scents

The handmade item that I purchase the most of by far is soap. If you haven't tried it, commercial soap doesn't even compare to handmade! Handmade soaps tend to be much more moisturizing and are usually loaded with magnificently scented natural oils.

Besem Natural Scents offers giant bars of handmade cold process soap such as this invigorating Rosemary Mint soap. And if that wasn't enough to reel you in, Besem Natural Scents also offers handmade beeswax/palm pillar candles - an excellent (and more eco-friendly) alternative to petroleum-based candles!

Moodwax

Moodwax specializes in clean-burning, fragrant candles made from her exclusive soy-paraffin wax blend.

Stop by her shop to try out these delicious Lemon Pound Cake votives or any of her other great scents!
