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.

Handmade, for me, is about families supporting families. There is just something about giving a child an outfit or a toy that's handmade... The time taken to put it together show the child they are special, valued, and worth the effort and thought.

My husband and I decided to try buying mostly homemade over a year ago. We get such beautiful and unique items now compared to when we were shopping at the big stores.
