7 reasons to buy handmade

[riseoverrun]

When I heard that March's picspammy challenge was "# Reasons To..." I immediately knew that I wanted to do a feature on some of my favorite handmade sellers. Without further ado:

I LOVE YOU FOR ALL THOSE LINKS, EVEN IF MY BANK ACCOUNT WON'T.

I think it's your fault I discovered Etsy in the first place. XD

I know, how terribly evil of me, wasn't it :D

Do you have any favorite items/sellers listed on your account? I'd love to see them!

[melloniel]

Right here! Even if most of the items themselves are sold out. I haven't been there in a while, because I haven't had the money to splurge, which I always inevitably do. XD

I see lots of necklaces, which is to be expected :) Man, I'm on Etsy almost every day even I don't buy anything. I just like discovering soon-to-be favorite designers. I have the Keep Calm and Carry On poster, but I got mine from a different seller.

Here's my favorites list if you're interested.

Oh this picspam is absolutely adorable and I'm gonna check out some of your links :D Great job <3

Thanks! You'll excuse me if I'm being too nosy, but I'd love to hear about any purchases that you might later make :)

Yeah, Etsy is kind of amazing. <3 Great picspam!

[riseoverrun]

It is! I'm on there all of the time, admiring all of the creations.

Thank you. I try to go the handmade/indie route when it's feasible, especially when it comes to gifts. It's just that much more special when you gift something that's been made with love and care to those you love.

[riseoverrun]

Not at all. Not sure if you noticed, but I have a 'design' tag that I use whenever I post about handmade stuff like this :)

[riseoverrun]

No problem, I'm glad you liked it :)
