Last Minute Gift Ideas!

[CastoCreations]

Oh I just LOVE this time of year! I have bought almost ALL my gifts online - and more than 75% have been handmade.

I think it's even more important to support independent artists with all the lead and recall scares with stuff made in China.

I thought I'd share some of my favorite stores and goodies. Feel free to add your own!!!

"Coffee Cuff"


"Milk Chocolate And Mocha Cookies"



For the New (or not so new) Mom
