The most fun — and most difficult — part of gift-giving, especially around the holidays, is finding unique, one-of-a-kind gifts with meaning. Gifts with heart and soul. Gifts that, in spite of the cliche, really do keep on giving.
That’s partly why I do what I do. Why I create art. Because artwork and all things handmade are instant keepsakes, unique and irreplaceable, and is imbued with deeply personal and specific meaning.
And! I just did a mega art shop update, adding a ton of new offerings to my Etsy shop! Keep reading to find out what’s new, and to be inspired with unique gift-giving ideas…
If you’ve been following along with my Etsy shop, you may have noticed lots of activity I’ve been busily adding a TON of new items, most notably blank greeting cards, new fabric art hoops, and even some stickers!
The addition I’m most excited about are the blank notecards.
I’ve been wanting to offer blank greeting cards featuring my art for a while — years! — but wasn’t sure how to get it done affordably. But recently I worked it out! I ordered archival quality photographic prints of my pieces from a print shop, then used glue dots to affix them to sturdy white cardstock. Each card comes paired with an envelope in a cello sleeve.
The best part? The prints are removable — which means that after you use the card, the recipient can remove the print and frame it.
Not only are the cards utilitarian, but each card is a little gift in itself!
This pleases me greatly. :)
I’ve also been hard at work stitching more fabric landscapes and cute little holiday hoops. I have two adorable 3” Santa hoops that can be hung on the wall or displayed on an easel on a table — or I can add a ribbon and turn them into an ornament for you!
My favorite of the hoops is this shimmery, sparkly, elegant winter scene. Looking at this, I can practically hear the snow falling in that muted way it does on quiet nights. Those pearls were a bit of a beast to stitch on, but it was well-worth it. I love how they turned out.
An extra fun new addition to the shop is this pack of stickers! Each sticker is a reproduction of one of my tiny art magnets (coming soon unless I sell out of them at local markets!). They each feature an encouraging — and potentially sassy AF — saying.
And! All domestic US orders now come with complimentary free shipping! You can optionally upgrade to Priority Shipping if you desire to have some cool art in your hands faster. :)
Want me to ship an order to a loved one? I can do that too, and include a little gift note with it.
Just send me a message with what you’re looking for along with your order. Unfortunately, I cannot offer gift wrapping at this time…but if you’ve ever ordered from me before, you know my packages are always fun to open. :)
Okay! I think that’s about it from me! Get thee to the art shop to see all the new things waiting there for you and your gift-giving needs (or hey, treat yourself, it’s all good!):
