Etsy Find: Hanukkah Shopping

I comb through the Etsy Finds e-mails everyday, looking at there beautiful choices for the holidays, and themed gatherings. Hoping beyond hope that I will be included. But yesterday, I didn’t have time, I was simply to busy.

But late last night, I noticed that my traffic had just absolutely exploded, and I had no idea where it was coming from. I looked through google analytics, and saw a mysterious annotation, called bronto. Well what is bronto, and why is my traffic coming from google bronto. What in the world is that I asked myself.

Well after doing some digging I found out that bronto is the service that Etsy uses to send out there Etsy Finds e-mails.  But alas, I had deleted all of my emails for the day, and there is no archive for Etsy Finds. I continued my search looking through my email trash can. Until there it was, the Etsy Find, Tell your Friend Veronica… It’s Time to Celebrate Hanukkah! And it had in it under the gifts for men, my beautiful, Song of Solomon Dog Tag Necklace.  Woo Hoo!!!

Handmade Holiday Ornaments: Swiss Chalet Birdhouse

I like to make my own holiday ornaments every year. It adds a special touch to the holiday season, and each year as you add them to the tree, those handmade ornaments just have so much more meaning then the store-bought ones. This year our ornaments theme was Swiss Gingerbread Bird Houses. As always I tried to be as eco-friendly as possible, using felt made from recycled plastic bottles!

So let’s get started with this how to:

Top Handmade Gifts for Gardeners this Holiday Season

 The Trailer Birdhouse by KoolBIrd is made with new and repurposed wood. It’s clean lines and modern feel is sure to draw quite a few birds to your yard! I know that I would love a few of these stationed around my yard for my feathered friends to live in.

It may be winter, but it doesn’t feel like it here in South Carolina. With the temperatures fluctuating between the 30’s and the 70’s it’s been quite a warm winter so far. It makes shopping for holiday’s even harder, when all I want to do is work in my garden. I really can’t stop digging and planting out there. So this holiday season’s shopping picks are for the gardener in your life. The person who can’t stop digging at the soil, even when theres inches of snow covering it. Who looks through seed catalogs with that dreamy look in their eye, imagining their garden in summer.
