How did you support Handmade this year?

 

This Christmas, I set myself the target of buying as many of my gifts as I could from people I know.  The next option was to buy handmade and of course, to find these little treasures at markets and indie shops.  Here is my list of the fab offerings from creative makers and artists, complete with Twitter names and links to follow and admire their work:

Tea cup and saucer candle made my Victoria McDonald at Victoria McDonald Art

A Venice Calendar for my Auntie - @Starrybluesky Starrybluesky etsy shop

A Venice Brooch for another Auntie - @Starrybluesky (same as before)

Lovely blue bag for a secret santa pressie made by Little Sister Lucy
