Last Christmas, I gave a lot of handmade gifts. Instead of relying so heavily on eBay and Amazon for so many of my gift ideas, I discovered Etsy, Your place to buy and sell all things handmade.Maybe I am just crafty by nature, but I LOVE seeing what other people have make on Etsy. Things I never would have thought of, things I have no skill to complete and things I really want to try and make. I especially love that people have a place to share/sell these items in a single place.
One of the things I found on etsy.com is the HANDMADE PLEDGE from buyhandmade.org. This year I have taken the pledge.
What is the HANDMADE PLEDGE?
I pledge to buy handmade this holiday season and request that others do the same for me.
My daughters and I are making all of our gifts rather than buying handmade, but the idea is the same. I hope you will take the pledge with us this holiday season.
Thanks.
