Ready To Ship Christmas Gifts

Wow, time is really ticking away. I can't believe how close Christmas is getting! But don't worry, its not too late. I've got plenty of "ready to ship" items that will still make it to you in time for your Christmas gift-giving OR if you'd like, I can send your gift directly to the recipient for you—just let me know what message you'd like me to include with the gift. 

***HOLIDAY DEADLINE***
US - order by Dec 19, 2013 for delivery by Christmas. Orders placed after Dec 19th may not make it to their destination by Christmas (but I'm still happy to take your order anytime!)

Here are a few of my "ready to ship" items. I hope you find something you like!






































Thank you for visiting. Happy Shopping!

Here are just a few of the artists at the show. Click on each photo to visit the artists' website or shop (if available), and do some Christmas shopping yourself. Enjoy. :)
