With Christmas just around the river bend (how very Pocahontas of me), the search for festive ornaments is underway. I like to hunt for ornaments, especially handmade ones, in unpredictable places, and my first visit is always Etsy. It’s my one-stop shop for unique and creative custom ornaments that won’t be seen on every other tree in my neighborhood.

When I saw these pretty ornaments from Eleni Creative, I right away envisioned a rustic tree full of these beauties. Each one of these ornaments is handmade and takes her up to three hours to make–meaning it would take me twice as long!

You can choose from 90 different colors, whether you’re pining for traditional red and green or something more specific. You can also add stitched initials on the back, or a special date. It’s a lovely way choice of a custom keepsake ornament that didn’t come off the shelves of a big store. —Kirsten
