The holidays have arrived
The holiday season is upon us—a time of joy, connection, and finding just the right gift to bring a smile to someone’s face. While the hustle and bustle of the season can feel overwhelming, there’s something truly magical about giving thoughtful, handmade gifts. This year, I invite you to slow down and consider shopping from small businesses and artists who pour their heart and creativity into everything they make. This year Sarah Bourne Rafferty has created a gift guide including the works of 18 artists. Check it out here: https://atwaterdesigns.myflodesk.com/holiday-gift-guide There just may be that perfect artist-created item within.
I’ve been busy creating something extra special for the holidays. My handmade ornaments combine watercolor art with wood ornaments that I have painted in traditional Christmas colors. There are 6 designs to choose from, each with a little bit of “perfectly imperfect” charm that comes from being lovingly handcrafted.
These ornaments will debut at a local in-person show on Saturday, November 23rd, and then make their way to my Etsy shop for those who prefer to shop from the comfort of home. If you are in Eastern PA, join me at Haycock Township Community Center, 1014 Old Bethlehem Rd, Quakertown.
Keep an eye on my Etsy shop if you’d like to add one of these to your holiday collection!
