Gift Ideas

Welcome to a very chilly Pink Saturday here in the Boston area! This fun blog carnival is hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. Be sure to check out her pink offering this week, as well as those of the over 100 participants!
I didn't have anything good of my own to post for Pink Saturday, so in the spirit of handmade gifts, I thought I'd highlight a few Etsy crafters and show you some pink ideas!
Artsy Phartsy has mosaics for everyone! Mirrors, coasters, frames, and wall hangings like this pink teapot, that I know many of you would love to own.At Renee's Fashions I found this fun polymer butterfly and an aadorable stocking with a snowman applique. Her items are varied and come in many colors.
Sypria's Shop has many nifty things, including this cool felted necklace. I've never seen anything like it!lindylou2 has totes and bedding, as well as this cosmetic bag and pillow cover.

Remember to buy handmade when possible during this gift giving season. Go on now and visit Beverly and the other gals to see their pink postings!

I love all of your pinks, especially the little pouch. I am trying to give at least 75% handmade, but it is hard with small children, particularly boys. I have scoured Etsy for handmades for my son and have come up with very little that he would actually like...any suggestions?

Happy Pink Saturday!

This is a great time to remember the artisans. Those making their livings through art need our help in this troubled economy! I love handmade things, there's nothing like it. Thanks for pointing out a few great gifts for us.
Hugs, Bridget

Oh, what a darling thing for you to blog about today. You are so thoughtful and sweet...and I love everything you have shown us. I know the Etsy bloggers could just give you a big, ole kiss. Would you mind if I did the same sometime? i am not as thoughtful as you and it never entered my mind to showcase fellow bloggers talents.
Have a wonderful weekend...
love, bj

Wonderful "virtual Christmas shopping" with you! Thank you for taking us along! It's so much more fun than slogging around in the mall.

Have a wonderful pink Saturday - and a great time buying Christmas gifts for everyone you love.

You found some really neat pink things and that wall hanging of the teapot is so cool. If I had more space, I'd love to do some type of teapot collection.

PS. I saw in your profile that you like 80's music and I'm so with you on that. I used to hate it because it was my music at the time but it all circles back around and I like it again. (minus the disco--still can't do that.)

I love the pink teapot and I'm not really a fan of pink.

Our mother used to buy matching outfits for me and my sister. She made me wear pinks and yellows and Sister S got the blues and greens.

Thanks for sharing ... you find so many nice things. xxoo
