It's November: the month of anticipation.

The winter, scarves, hot chocolate, Nat King Cole singing carols, and the excited anticipation of loved ones opening something you've chosen or made with love. Real, meaningful gifts always take time to consider, research, order, and sometimes, make.

So I'm kick off the coming holidays of giving thanks and simply giving, with a weekly Giving Guide of uniquely handmade gifts.

Tomorrow, get the first of the Giving Guide with the how-to of this posh children's purse/diaper bag. See you then!
