Decorative pieces (Christmas trees, bags, baskets etc)
Of hand fans, hats and others
Trees, bags, baskets and some more
Deer, sheep, stars among others
The Christmas vibe is in the air, at least in Metro Point Mall somewhere in Pasay. The ingenuity of people are evident on the decorative pieces displayed at this Jollibee branch where the Farmboy had his lunch while he was in the nation's capital sometime last week.
Some great artisan must have been hard at work throughout the previous months for these items. These products are by Hand Krafts PH by the way, which unfortunately, did not have much information online. I did find their Facebook page which contains photos of their other crafts. The page was newly-created (October 29) so I wonder if the business just started.
And I adore their tagline!
"Your hand is the best tool for your craft."
I also love the fact that the items are mostly made of economically and environmentally-friendly materials (rattan) and judging from the photos, they seem to have not applied any artificial paints or coloring so they kept their natural state as well. They may have used some polishing, I'm not so sure.
(forgive me for tagging you but you came to mind instantly the moment I saw the bouquets hehe. A matter of fact, I thought you made them!Apart from these decorative pieces which include wreaths, Christmas trees and accessories, they also have woven bags, various shapes and sizes of wicker baskets for storage, laundry, tissue, picnic and a whole lot more for a household. From their page, I also noticed some lamps, planter stands or display stands whatever you call them, hats and crocheted bouquets which reminded me of @jonalyn2020
I believe these are 100% hand-crafted and locally-made based on the tags they used on their page which included the following:
- SupportSmallBusiness
- RattanPH
- SupportLocal
- Livelihood
- BuyLocalPH
- Handcrafted
- AlagangAyalaLand
I did wish the farmboy thought of me and bought a few pieces of them, lol! Well, he might have because he photographed them so I'm still thankful and here I am sharing his captures, haha!
I'm all in when it comes to quality and local products and I hope more people will support these and help make the craft thrive. I do have a few pieces of rattan-made items (fruit baskets and other smaller items) at the other house which I bought in 2010 and they still look brand new until today probably because they are well taken care of.
Anyhow, these are all for today and I wish you a fabulous day (night) wherever you may be.
Cheers to a good, sweet life!

Wow, I really love decorative pieces handcrafted by hand. They had a great impact on me maybe because I am a crafter also.
Indeed! They are the best executioner that we have in mind.
And I am glad that you remembered me seeing those bouquets, and even thinking that I made them. How I wish too girl. 😍
Anyway, thanks for tagging me, and God bless you. Keep safe always.
You are very gifted and it's great that you are sharing your crafts :) Thank you for being you 😍

You are welcome
Im not overly excited about Christmas, but I am very happy to see that small companies do their best to make more environmentally friendly products for Christmas 🎄 💙
It seems we have grown up to be super excited for Christmas, lol! But yes, it's cool that they do :)

Here it became too materialistic for me to enjoy it. Plus I have no kids or family around me, so I often spend it by myself or with 1/2 people 💙
That's the thing about Christmas getting so much commercialized, it took away the real enjoyment of it. Spending it with less people is nice :)
Oh I love eco-friendly materials and DIY gifts. Thank you for bringing the Christmas spirit on hive
DIYs are astonishing :) Thank you too and I wish you an amazing day :)
