Specks & Keepings

How are you doing with your Holiday shopping? Done, sorta done, not even started? I'm in the sorta done category this year. I'm trying to do a combo of handmade gifts and those bought from small businesses this year so it's key to be a little more prepared!
If you are still looking for some beautiful gifts, everything in Specks & Keepings, a gorgeously curated webshop, would be sure to make someone on your list very very happy.

The Cuteness: Handymaiden

Danielle Pederson, aka Handymaiden, makes tiny hand-painted animal scultpures, totems and medals. They are incredibly lovely, thoughtful and cute. I am particularly in love with her little tiny medals like the Badger of Honor Medal.
