Thoughts on Handmade


I'm all about all things handmade and preferably local. I like knowing where the things I purchase come from and their stories. One of my friend's husband was really funny when he told me that he tossed all the other cards he received from his wife's baby shower, but couldn't get himself to toss out mine because it was hand-painted. I believe it. While so many things in life now are disposable and replaceable, it's a treat to be gifted something that an actual person so painstakingly made by hand.



This holiday, I plan on only shopping local (if I need something, I'll try Craigslist first) and handmade. It's nice to know your gift came from the heart instead of just a Black Friday deal from a big box store.

stamps: handmade, buy local, thank you
