It's a Metaphysical Christmas!

Well, I just completed my last craft fair of the season at Aggie Hall in Ladysmith. It was the Metaphysical Yule / Christmas Craft Fair put on by Natasha's Temple Studio. It was such fun and there were so many interesting people. Lots of palm readers, crystals, smudging and I even had a bone reading done by a shaman! Thanks to everyone who showed up. It's always nice to meet Facebook customers in real life :)

Going to be announcing a big pre-Christmas sale tomorrow so stay tuned. ;)

Handmade Pledge

Ah, Christmas. The word has practically become synonymous with consumerism. The malls are busier - even though they are open later. Heck, Wal-Mart is open 24 hours over December. Everyone is fighting over the "perfect" gift and we're tricked into thinking that the better gift is the more expensive one.

I don't mean to sound like a grinch, but there is an alternative to all this big-box consumption: handmade! I love handmade gifts. They are so much more thoughtful and meaningful (not to mention unique)! And, if a piece of jewelry from Namaste isn't for you, there are a lot of other great options like Etsy!

If you're like me and you want to battle the negative connotations associated with Christmas, take the handmade pledge.
