Christmas Gift Idea

This weekend, I was thinking about the economy and the upcoming holidays. I know money is tight for most of us and we are scratching our heads about Christmas gifts. I also thought about the talents of our fellow bloggers.

Many of my blogging friends have Etsy shops or sell fantastic homemade goods on their blogs. And, we have authors as well. Karen Zemek is one that comes readily to mind.

I thought it would be nice to showcase items made by fellow bloggers on my blog in a holiday shopping post next week and then leave the links on my sidebar. By doing so, I would hope to provide more alternatives to shopping than just running to the local mall. And, it would be great if we could support our blogging friends.

If you would like me to include your products, please email me at MountainWomanatgmaildotcom.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

I love that you are thinking of other people during these more difficult days. Etsy is a wonderful site, and has amazing handmade products on it. I can only wish that we had a Canadian version of it.
So I am looking forward to browsing some of our blogging friends Etsy shops when you post them. Certainly the parking will be easier!!

hi – looking forward to reading more on your blog! Found you on another ‘horsey’ blog. (I have horses). And I also have two Etsy shops, and would love to be featured…

Also a note to the poster who commented about Canada – I sell to customers in Canada all the time, and also know Etsy sellers who are Canadian based. Etsy is global!

I’ve never heard of Etsy before this.

This winter blog look is nice….the light blue with gray snowmen in the background.
