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.

As being a new handmade jewelry, I have come to realize the importance of "handmade". The true value of it coming from the heart, no more store bought items for me!

I love

knowing that when I buy handmade I am supporting the real person and family behind the business. As a WAHM I

understand that the funds I earn go to buy food, pay for doctor appointments, etc.
