Part 2 of the pre-holiday squee extravaganza of all things handmade, lovely and ethical…

*Erica of Coffee Drinker makes such cool wrist cuffs that I wish I had more wrists! This rainy day one makes me especially happy, whether it’s rainy or sunny outside…

*Who doesn’t like dirt when digging in it means homegrown veggies and pretty flowers? Celebrate the joy over at You Grow Girl.

*Just as I believe a girl can never have too many handbags, I also believe that no bag (or desk) is complete without a to-do list. Watch how you’re procrastinating in style with Susie’s super cute octopus to do list! Squee!!!!!

*Not only do I love chickens, but I also love Nikki McClure! Nikki’s work continues to inspire me- especially in this adorable book, The Great Chicken Escape! Run chicken run!

*Nat over at Evil Eye Emporium is selling beautifully crafted Hope ornaments, with 100% of the proceeds going to pay her friend’s giant medical bills due to Spina Bifida and PTSD. Lovely.

*I can’t even begin to rave about my newfound love for all things garden grown. My new friends over at Snapped Twig make superfine jewelry, with creative sustainability in mind.

*Even though I had a psychotic parakeet as a child, that doesn’t mean my heart doesn’t skip a beat when I see bird-themed accessories, like these lovely pins by Trish at Bits and Bobbins.

*Everytime I take a peek at her site, I am awed at the ways that Melissa at Lekkner meshes her ethics with her products. The future is Lekkner!

*I am a late scarflet convert, I must admit, but all it takes is a day of wearing a scoop-neck top in the cold to see what you’ve been missing. And Lindamade’s scarflets are the jam.
