Do you know about this Etsy Treasury thing? People put together (or "curate" as they like to say) collections of items listed on Etsy that fit into a particular theme. It's a fun excuse for combing through the cornucopia that is Etsy, and it's a fun way to give some visibility to particular items. The etiquette is that you don't feature your own items in the treasuries you make, so it's also a fun way to share some love. And since the true spirit of Christmas is sharing the love, I decided that for today I'd simply present a treasury of Christmassy block prints from my fellow block-printing Etsy shopkeepers.
Lovely assortment; very attractive prints. But isn't it curious what we come to associate with the (originally) religious celebration of a birth in the Middle East? Enjoy, and thanks for sharing these images with us!
I did want to include more seriously Christmas images - baby in the manger scenes, madonna with child, and so on - but I didn't find any I liked. However, the inclusion of Christmas trees (silly symbol of Christmas though they may be) meant I couldn't call the treasury merely "wintry."
