Handmade Goodness

The economy is tough and money is tight, but you don't have to spend a lot to get high quality, handmade products.  I did a browse through Etsy recently and found a whole lot of shops that sell really great items for under $10!  (And in some instances this includes the shipping charge as well.)  So check them out, treat yourself, and support handmade - it's a win-win.  :-)

Limoncello and Tuscan Rosemary Soap by TallulahsSoaps looks good enough to eat.  At only $6 for a 5-7 oz bar, this hand cut soap will arrive decoratively wrapped for gift giving.  Or keeping.  ;-)


This cute little French bull dog, fashioned from a marble, comes from greyskycreations.  At only $3.95 you can afford to buy him and a tiny buddy for him to hang with!  Kristina has a variety of these Marble Pets in her shop and can even custom make one if you have a specific animal in mind.


 If you like vintage you'll love this sweet pillbox carried by YesterdaysSilhouette.  Shop owner, Laura, describes it as a pocket sized treasure with a time worn patina. Hurry though, it's on sale for $6.38 and won't stay in her shop long at that price!


No, this gorgeous knit wrap isn't $10 - it's $115  (and well worth the price in my opinion).  But if you have the talent and ability to knit you can purchase the pattern from PreciousKnits for $8, and once emailed to you, create this versatile, reversible wrap yourself.


 Clary-Sage, Lemon, and Lavender all help to remove nervous exhaustion and restlessness.  These essential oils are found in this Stressaholic lip balm handcrafted from scratch by inlulusgarden.   Only $4.95 for a .30 oz tin.


 Last but not least is this $8 set of 5 different vintage book page cards made in Portland by velvetonthepage.  These 7x5 cards come in many themes and are paired with envelopes, but are also suitable for framing.  A free gift of three mini vintage illustration gift tags with twine ties is included with each set - how great is that!
