I’m trying sooooo hard to get ahead on my Christmas shopping and Christmas card sending this year. I know I say that every year, but I really, really, really don’t want to feel rushed to do anything for Christmas. After such a hectic fall, I want to use December for a long winter’s nap.

I’ve been eyeing different Etsy shops and local stores where I can find gifts for my friends and family. I noticed just the other day that my friend Mary Clark, who sells homemade jewelry and photography, has a website now.

Go check it out! I’ve already got a necklace eyed out for a friend of mine and possibly even one for myself 😉 Tell her The Modern Gal sent you!
