a handmade holiday

I Took The Handmade Pledge! BuyHandmade.org

buy handmade this holiday season... and beyond.
here's some of my reasons why :)

as a buyer seriously, nothing beats that feeling that you are supporting someone who is supporting themself with their art or trade! handmade items that are one or a few of a kind mean the receiver is getting something unique (not to mention the personal touch behind each creation). your gift is something that you specifically chose for that person and their interests or personality - it's not something that's being pushed as the must-have item this season ;)

as a seller myself it is just fabulous to be able to support yourself with your own hands and on your own terms! (a huge thank-you to all cipolla customers!) and it's an awesome thrill each time someone writes me about how they love their goodies.
