White Chistmases might be more fun, but I have a feeling a Green Christmas will be all the rage this year. Rikrak creations makes these great reusable wrapping cloths from repurposed vintage fabrics. The wrapping would be gift enough!

New set of greeting cards.
Norwegian based artist and illustrator, Annette Mangseth, makes beautiful art prints, greeting crads and mixed media ACEO's for her etsy shop Carambatack (say that 5 times fast). We love the ethereal quality she gives her subjects.
These greeting cards would be a great hostess gift or lovely as a framed set in an entryway or hallway.
Vintage Fabric Tie Clutch
Behind FlyBall Bags is one highly motivated missy... Diana Coatsworth. Diana has many talents in the artistic field. She is a professionally trained dancer, singer, actor and improviser and has worked in theatre and film for over 13 years.
In 2003, she pursued another passion... to design and produce beautiful, one-of-a-kind handbags called FlyBall Bags. Diana uses a mix of quality vintage and new materials to give a sense of humour to a piece.
Diana grew up in Niagara Falls and got most of her creative juices handed down from her mother, who is a highly skilled crafts person herself (sewing, knitting and cake decoration, to name a few). She is blessed to have an amazing group of friends and family to encourage this compulsion to create. These days Diana resides in downtown Toronto with her partner, Kevan. Simply put, she hopes to create beautiful things that people will enjoy.

I know I am adding this to my wish list! Address business card holders have never been so cool. It looks like her etsy shop only has these on custom order, but check out her shop for other great things, like the Naughty and Nice Christmas cards, which I am loving in a huuuuge way.
Vase with modern circles
Handmade vases and other vessels are the specialty of etsy seller Clay Dame. Each peice is handmade at her home studio. Her work has a really great earthy modern quality.
