Franley Speaking Friday- Another Shop til ya Drop Installment!

In our ongoing quest to provide everyone on our Christmas list with unique, handmade gifts, we are continuing the shop til you drop series. Every Wednesday and Friday until Christmas week check here for some diverse, interesting and unique places to shop! 
Today's shop, Living Glass Art,  is actually one that I found a few years ago. In fact, I have a lovely glass flower made by Anna, the owner and designer. This shop features original stained glass in abstract geometric, nature, wildlife and animal designs. They are made in the Tiffany copper foil method in her Tennessee studio, so another made in the USA gift, from an USA shop! And what a cool shop it is! So very beautiful and quite unique, in other words, everything I look for in a shop! With prices beginning at 25$, I am sure you can find an affordable work of art for someone special on your list. Not only does she have the panels and sun catchers, she also offers gift certificates. So if you aren't sure what to pick, get the gift certificate and let the recipient choose their own! 

What;s Happening Wednesday-Shop til Ya Drop

What's Happening this Wednesday is that I am preparing for the upcoming Christmas holiday! Business wise I am creating gift sets in these cute boxes for the Christmas cabin, as well as special orders.

This one matches my new labels, so I am quite excited by them. The large one is very heavy and very large! 

This one was a special purchase so when they are gone, they are gone.

This set is also a special purchase, and may be                               sold as a tower of gifts or individually. 

I am also finishing up some ornaments that are being made for personal gifts, as well as preparing to make a batch of liquid soap this week. Look for ornament pictures on tomorrow's Tripod Thursday post! 


Given that there are only 24 more shopping days until Christmas, I am going to step up my Indie shop postings. So today's shop is a really unique and cool Etsy shop. It is called The Magic Sleigh and you will find the cutest little porcelain dog statues there. Yes, they are handmade and just the sweetest little things you can imagine! But why imagine, go there and look! The owner and Artisan, Pamela, has  the dogs arranged alphabetically, and is currently sporting a whopping 329 statues in her inventory. She lives in Florida, so these are all made in the USA, and at just under twenty bucks,  they won't kill your pocket book either. These will make an excellent gift for all the dog lovers on your list, not to mention the all the hard to buy for's. Lol. She also makes many with angel wings and/or halos, so you can pay tribute to a lost friend as well. All in all, this looks like a wonderful place to shop!
