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 really love this picspam, and some of the stuff you show is awesome.

Since you seem to be an expert, I thought I'd ask you, a lot of websites like the ones you linked are very expensive to ship to england (though not all of course!). I don't supposed you know of any good UK based online craft fairs like these?

I'm so glad you think so!

I cannot name any at the top of my head, no, but Etsy has a Shop Local feature where you can type in your location and it'll list sellers that are closer to you.

That, in all honesty, is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for when I put this together. Thanks for checking it out, and I'd love to hear about any finds you come across :)

I checked out some links and love the stuff!
Too bad it's so freaking expensive. XD

[riseoverrun]

Well, most handmade goods are naturally going to cost at least a little more than store-bought ones since they aren't mass-produced, but there are some decently priced things out there. And the two blogs I linked to at the bottom of the post often feature discount coupons to different shops, which helps with the price a bit.

Thanks a bunch! ♥
