Take our handmade pledge!

Yes, we realize there's another Handmade Pledge site. However, that one is focused on the holiday season, and we believe the pledge to buy handmade can extend much further than that. Please consider taking this pledge and making handmade a life-changing choice :)

I pledge to consider handmade alternatives for all of my purchases, whether they are for everyday items or gifts, for myself, my family or my friends.
