Black Friday Specials for Handmade Goodies.

first, i hope you all had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving! i think i gained ten happy pounds. it was everything Thanksgiving should be about: lots of food, family + laughter, DALLAS COWBOYS football & win!!!, and a lovely needed nap. It was perfect.

this year i made two promises to myself when it came to Christmas shopping... NO credit cards & buy as much handmade gifts as possible.

it didn't even occur to me that etsy stores and handmade shops online would have Black Friday Specials. Silly me!!!

i love Poppytalk for this reason. A brilliant blog dedicated to supporting and finding handmade treasures. That's where i saw that this weekend, you can find amazing black friday/cyber monday sales & special codes of the best etsy shops.

per example, one of my absolute favourites Olive Handmade:

and you know how i already feel about Fallon's postcard pillow... i can't think of anyone on a Christmas list that wouldn't want one of her charming pillows in their home.

another Christmas present go-to is Diana's CityLight on Etsy. How have i just NOW discovered this amazing photographer/friend??? :

you should check out her Black Friday sale. Diana already offers FREE shipping on domestic sales. i just bought my Christmas cards there & another Christmas pressie.

i like shopping Black Friday in my pajamas...

because seriously, you should see my bed head.

enjoy the sales lovies!!!! & let me know your finds. xo
