There’ll be fabulous fashion, fine jewellery, clay work, metal, glass, and more – individually hand-crafted items – items that make for the most special gifts for friends and family (and for oneself of course!).

Clay on Etsy.

Recently the oh so awesome and amazing Vicki Hardin of Clay Art Web compiled a guide to great Clay art on Etsy. You know I love Etsy, I’m an addict for sure, but sometimes it is like going to a flea market where you are bound to find that treasure that you just have to take home with you, but it takes a while of sifting through junk to find it. That’s why lists like Vicki’s are so helpful to cut through some of the (sorry, i’m going to say it, forgive me and know that I don’t speak of any of you fine readers that’s for sure!) crap.

So in light of this wonderful list – which I encourage you to go and check out and get your name added to if you’ve got an Etsy shop – I thought I share with you some of my recently lovely Etsy finds which are on my Christmas wish list.

Oh and a small reminder (okay major reminder – come on people!!!) that I’m still looking for artists for December’s Artist of the Day Profiles! What don’t you guys like FREE stuff? Or maybe it’s my free stuff you’re just not that interested in. LOL. Check out the original post here.
