I'm jumping off the ever-accelerating treadmill to post about the subject of every autumn's biggest project: preparing for our annual Christmas sales for Handmade in Albania!

| Variegated Red Hat and Scarf Set -- buy it here |
This year's new merchandise has been photographed and posted and it feels like this year's selection in the best yet! The knitters continue to provide new styles, while also reproducing favorite models in new yarns and colors.

| Fuscia Collared Wrap with Braid and Buttons -- buy it here |
There are so many needs around us, and so many look to us for help. I love that this project provides for those who work hard with their hands to support their families -- it's not just a handout, but creativity is affirmed and hard work rewarded, while God's provision is demonstrated through your purchases.
Thanks to purchases from our friends both in Albania and America, these knitters have each earned about 2-3 months' salary from each year's sales.
Will you help us continue by sharing links to our little online shop? Share on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or plain ol' e-mail! And while you are at it, check out this year's merchandise (which now includes baby items!) and see if you might find something special for someone on your Christmas list! Each item is tagged with a photo of the knitter who made the product so the recipient can see the face of the person who made each item.
*If you order by Sunday, November 12, your item will be carried to the U.S. by our current guest and shipped by Thanksgiving from Indianapolis!
