Why buy handmade?
- Mass production are a major cause of global warming and the
poisoning of our air, water and soil. Every item you make or
purchase from a small-scale independent artist or crafter strikes
a small blow to the forces of mass production.

one of a kind, and made with care and attention that can be
seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that
is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing.

favor of something more meaningful.
