CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN - WEEK 2

Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Favorites - Week 2, 2023

Posted October 4, 2023

Week 2 of the Countdown to Christmas 2023 has already come . . . and gone, No worries because unique artisan handmade / designed items were left in its wake. According to the ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown Clock, there are only 81 days until Christmas is here. With the rapidly approaching gift giving season in mind, Julie and her wonderful four-footed sidekick, Harry, are hosting a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2023 of artisan handmade items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog, part of their of Blue Morning Expressions Shopify shop. The twelve week time period was chosen to correspond with the ubiquitous Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas''. This week, there were 30 shares by 10 artists featuring a wide range of gift ideas: unique jewelry, Christmas tags, watercolor art prints, an original book, photographic and digital art for the home, ornaments, key chains and a host of other beauties. If you need a perfect start to your Christmas shopping, the Countdown is the place to do just that! An excellent mottoo follow is: SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN. And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support small indie businesses!

Each week during the Countdown, I pick my a favorite items from each artist (hard to do!) and feature them here on my blog. These are my favorites for Week 2:

A MidSummer Night's Dream from the Shop of Modestly

This excerpt of "MidSummer Night's Dream" was taken from one of Anne Corr's of Modestly https://www.etsy.com/shop/modestly books, with its beautifully hand illustrated Book of Shakesperian Quotes and Illustrations. I just happened to come across this quote from her Coptic-Stitched book which is featured in our current Promotion (note item #41). The Illustration of Tulips above is just one of the many Medival drawings in Anne's very interesting and well-researched books.

Shakespeare is a man who transformed drama in his time, and influenced not only poetry, but the whole English language. Beside that huge achievement, he changed the way we view ourselves, he preempted the idea of the individual and had an uncanny ability to understand the workings of mens' minds. This is what makes his dramas so popular and so loved.

As one who has always had a love of Shakespeare since my first year of HS, and his works are the only books I have kept sacred since them, it is always a pleasure when I see Anne's beautiful artistic contributions to a time when life's passions and events of that time were portrayed in a series of plays.

The world has paid tribute to his talent and to his contribution and this is the 450th year anniversary of his birth.
