Red & Gold #Etsy

This gorgeous treasury was created by Pat of The Whistling Man. I thought it was so gorgeous that I purloined it and added it here for you all to see.
These colours are of course typical Christmas colours, so festive looking. There is a great mix of Handmade and Vintage, lot`s of gift ideas to choose from.
What have I been doing? Some needle felting, making another snowman tree decoration and helping my 7 year old grandson to make one of his own. He was thrilled with his efforts and took it home for his own tree. The children all have their own little tree in their bedrooms to decorate as they please. The youngest wanted to make some cards which tends to include a lot of glue and sparkles and small stick ons and festive pictures added haphazardly but he loves it and is always very proud of his creations. I think they are for his school friends with one each for his 2 brothers and sister.

ENJOY!!!

As Christmas colours, red and gold
are always great, they never get old.
Festive, cheerful and bright
always a wonderful sight.
Wherever you look, there`s cheer
most are happy, that`s clear.
As it gets closer, they`ll up the pace
with maybe a frown on the odd face
as panic starts to set in
and they wonder if they`ll ever win.
The countdown is ticking away
getting closer every day
racing past in a frenetic tide
taking us all along for the ride.
For two very busy days of fun
and then this year it`ll all be done!!

Beautiful Brown #Etsy

Today we have a gorgeous array of rich browns, all great gift ideas for you. Always worth browsing through the shops too because you just never know what you will find. You might stumble across the perfect pressie for that hard to buy for person.
Let`s face it we all have at least one of those. Someone who seems to have everything they want or need which leaves you floundering when it comes to gift buying.
You still have to get something but you don`t want to waste your money on something that doesn`t get a second glance. That`s where handmade items are brilliant because they are so unique. Best of all many sellers will do you a custom order if you ask, so if you see something you like but want a different colour, just ask.
I think crafter`s tend to go out of their way to please their customers, always going the extra mile to give you exactly what you want. It`s always good to buy handmade and support the small and micro business.

Handmade is always best.
Why not put it to the test?
We always go the extra mile
pasting on a great big smile.
Though you cannot see
we also dance with glee.
Everything made with love and joy
from jewellery to that special toy.
Accessories to adorn yourself
ornaments to put on the shelf.
Art for adult and child
some sedate others wild.
For everything that you desire
handmade will light a fire!!

Christmas Cuteness #Etsy

Take a look at what I uncovered on Etsy for your delectation, more fabulous Christmas delights and these are soooo cute!.
It`s time to get into serious Christmas shopping. No, don`t shake your head and say there is loads of time, there really isn`t. We have two days until the end of November and once December starts it will be here before you know it.
Actually it`s quite scary.
Well yesterday I spent a very frustrating and unfruitful few hours online looking for cardboard envelopes. I was hoping to buy some singly first to make sure they were what I wanted but the only place I could find to do that from wanted to charge me £4.99 postage. Grrr. So for now I`ve given up.

ENJOY!!!

He pulls Santa`s sleigh
helping to light the way
Listen for that Ho ho ho
and hears the bells go.
Busy elves, always working
not for them, any shirking.
Magic floating in the air
as we all stop and stare.
Children all put their trust
in Santas magical dust.
The know on Christmas morn
waking long before the dawn
that Santa will have been
his mince pie plate clean.
Each glowing smile
makes it all worthwhile.

Christmas is Coming! #Etsy

If this doesn`t make you feel Christmassy then nothing will. A delightful selection of gorgeous goodies that will have you reaching for your purse in no time, fired by the Christmas spirit.
We have here all the colours that always make us think of Christmas.... well me anyway. I confess that I love it. Especially seeing the children`s faces, their excitement and wonder, the laughter and fun of the whole day. Getting together with family and just making the most of it all, as a lovely respite in today`s fast paced and frenetic world.
Less than 4 weeks to go and I`m not much further forward. I really am going to have to do some serious Christmas shopping.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Santa will soon be on his way
with Rudolph pulling the sleigh.
They`ll be travelling far and wide
they wait for neither man nor tide.
Flying high so far above us
getting it done without a fuss.
Working solidly for 24 hours,
good job he`s got magic powers.
For children hearing the bells jingle
makes their whole body tingle
with excitement and anticipation
of the Christmas celebration.
Not very many weeks now to go
for the children, it will be slow!!
