Showing the Handmade

It's time for my monthly roundup of the new items the CCCOE team has listed for sale. As this is only a brief taste, make sure to check out the newbie thread for other great finds.

First up, it's not too late to get something for Halloween. Especially if it's a digital download like this good witch card...

Of course, Halloween doesn't need to be the end of the interestingly-themed items. Like, for example, this rosette...

And let's face it, I'm a sucker for anything orange. Which is why this bracelet caught my eye...

Perhaps you're looking for an upcoming birthday. We are currently in the sign of Scorpio and we will be until about November 21st. If you've ever met a Scorpio, this mug is pretty apropos.

The other thing I'm a sucker for is the interesting bag. And this tie bag has that in spades...

Need a planter for your succulents? I've seen various ideas for planters, but I'll admit I kind of like the graphic look of this triangle. It'll definitely stand out in an outdoor space...

And finally, it'll probably get cold around here. Eventually. And when it does, how about a handwoven blanket?

Make sure to check out the Show Your Handmade thread for all the new items for this October. There are so many great jewelry pieces as well as great ideas for that big holiday that's coming up in a couple months.

In a Gifty Mood

Just a quick reminder: Some of our CCCOE teammates are having sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Make sure to check them out.

This month, this isn't so much a gift guide as it is a collection of things that you might consider gifting to a friend or family member. (Well, that's as good a "theme" as any, right?)

For some reason, I'm drawn to textiles, and here are a couple scarves that would go perfectly under the tree.
