For the romance seekers

A couple years ago I pledged to have a handmade holiday, buying handmade gifts for everyone on our shopping list, and with the exception of one or two things I accomplished it. I started this series the next year to share some of my favorite handmade finds with you and I had such a good time I thought I'd bring it back again! I know it's only early November but for the next few weeks I'll be sharing some great handmade items in hopes that you'll join me in making handmade a part of your holiday!

And what could be better to kick this series off than love?

You know how I love the written word, and I think this adventure print from B is for Bonnie is the sweetest. (I admit, it makes me feel all swoon-y!)

Speaking of feeling swoon-y (yes, I recognize that is not a real word - just go with it, hmm?), how great is this mug? Brookish is an Etsy shop I continually go back to - great customer service and I love the variety of their items!

Know any newlyweds who will be celebrating their first holiday, or maybe just a couple of lovebirds? How about this print from Kari Machal Designs? You can customize everything from the initials and dates to colors!

And last but not least, this lovestruck necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs is pretty and whimsical and would work for a spouse, sibling, or a best friend!

Have you ever had a handmade holiday? Would you gift any of these items to your nearest and dearest?

Happy hump day!
