Sunday. What better day to view all the handmade beauty out in the world? To feel more hopeful? To be uplifted?
Advent Calendar
Sarah Jane
Christmas Book Advent Calender is my personal absolute favorite. Any gift including dozens of wrapped books is superb in my opinion. Holiday book wrapped and numbered as an advent calendar for a family is perfect. Story time...spending time together reading about the wonder of the season, what could be better than that? The same idea was done by Susan Weinroth this year. Simple and magical, these will be something that your kids (and you) will cherish. I think this would also be the perfect holiday gift for a beloved bibliophile in your life...merely change the books to suit their tastes.

Holiday Enabling
October Afternoon's Santa Sack
I am a sucker for grab bags. It is a mixture of finding a good deal and an intriguing mystery. If you love October Afternoon and have a bit of extra money to splurge on yourself or someone you love (or if you want to buy one and keep some and give some away who is know, right?) then I recommend purchasing one of their Santa Sacks as you won't be disappointed.
Happy and merry crafting,
Shay.
