I’m already thinking of Christmas and it’s only October. I follow some talented makers on Instagram and thought I would share some small businesses that may be new to you. I would be happy to receive a gift from any of these companies.
Shana at Figure Form has so many unique pieces of art in her shop, I couldn’t pick a favorite. How cool is this? A flower print to celebrate each month, here is February Primrose and Violet.

Laurel at East City Candles has something for every candle lover on your list. Beautiful warm colours and textures. They sell out quickly so don’t hesitate to grab them early.

Torrey at Beastly Threads pieces make me so happy. The vibrant patterns and colours are amazing! “This organic cotton voile infinity scarf was hand block printed using nontoxic dyes by a group of talented artisans in Jaipur, India. With each product sold, a significant portion of the profits will go to habitat and wildlife preservation efforts.”

“Atelier Make’s designs appeal to a new generation of fine-craft enthusiasts. The studio prides itself on a small batch, locally handcrafted model of doing business.” I love a big mug with a good handle, so this would be perfect for me.
