Recently my Handmade shop Handmade By Sandi has been featured in a number of treasuries. Orders from my website Sandi’s T’s, plus a project I’m working on for my granddaughter’s gymnastic team, have taken up the majority of my time, and I’ve not been able to blog about the treasuries and the curators.

I decided that the easiest way for me to atone for my delay, is to present all the curators and something from their shops that I thought would make great holiday gift ideas for you! So I’ve created a little treasury – each item is something special that I picked from one of the curators. Actually I love giving you a glimpse of these great artists! I’ve even included a couple of artists who’s work I love to round out your preview

Enjoy!

Recently I answered an ad from My Shopping Connection about handmade items to be featured in a Holiday Gift Guide.

I sent in a sample of my crocheted chokers and a sample of my coffee cozies. There were no guarantees that I would be included. And that was ok – it was a way of getting exposure as well as figuring out what might be of interest.

Well, this weekend I got an email telling me that the Guide was now online and available for shoppers to check out. Here is the link to the guide!

In checking out the guide I found that my crocheted choker is featured!

One of my friends in the Etsytwitter mentioned that she was in there also! So I went back and looked at all of the items listed, and found several other team members. I also found a friend from another on-line social group that I belong to. So let me just share with you the fantastic items that they have listed in this guide!

From my online group Creative Enterprises, Jane Loedding of Personalized Room Decor has this delightful sign featured

Another friend from the Etsy community is Sue from Antique Basket Lady has this adorable Nouveau Bird Snap Coin Purse featured

From my team the Etsytwitter Team, Kristen from Firebirdhouse has this Vintage Sunflower and Bird Bracelet featured

Another member of our Etsytwitter Team, Amy from Ojami has this Bento Tote Bag and Band featured

Yet another member of our Etsytwitter Team, SalonD’Arte has this Custom Origami Lantern (a one of a kind designed original large origami ornament – yours might be different)  featured

Enjoy your shopping experience!!

I looked throught the rest of the shops featured, if I’ve forgotten anyone, please let me know.
