Countdown to Christmas 2014 - Week 6

Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . and Christmas gets closer!  According to the Christmas clock, there are 54 days, 13 hours and 15 minutes from when I posted this to when Christmas comes rolling around again.  Week 6 of the Countdown to Christmas, hosted by Julie and Blu of BlueMorningExpressions, has come and gone.  Lots of fabulous gift ideas were shared, 62 to be exact!  Knitted and sewn items, jewelry, lampwork, dichroic glass, vintage postcards and digital pictures, cards and tags, dog apparel, holiday serving sets and much more were shared.  When you do your Christmas shopping (hopefully from on of these Countdowns), remember to BUY HANDMADE!!!

Shop owners from ArtFire, Zibbet, SupaDupa, Etsy, stand alone websites and the like are welcome to share up to three gift items between Friday at noon (12:00 p.m.) and Monday morning at 12:01 a.m.  Then a new Countdown to Christmas collection will begin again the next Friday, same time, same place.  This will continue until the second week of December.  The items shared need to be G-rated.

The rules for participating in the Countdown are easy:  if you share items on the Countdown, you MUST promote the collection and EACH item on at least one social network site, preferably Pinterest and/or Wanelo where the items can be easily found and saved again.  It's only fair to promote the artists who promote you!

In addition to saving each item for the countdown collection to my Pinterest board and Wanelo collection, I decided to share my favorite item from each of the ArtFire artists who participated.  Fabulous for backlinks (and we all want and need those!).  Here are the rest of my picks for Week 6:
