No. 35. Have inbuilt positive energy and soul. Making things is fun- even when it’s your job. It’s the difference between buying something that was made carefully and joyfully rather then buying one of a million made in a factory by a machine. Yay Soul!! Colleen Baran.

I love #34 because I just realized it's true. When I buy handmade, I am often inspired to make things myself, and I am so grateful for that.

So very very true! Handmade items are all one of a kind and always worth the purchase. So much heart goes into them.

Number 35 is the one I like best so far. Although they are all so true. 35 is closest to my heart since I have an Etsy shop and a tiny little closet "bricks and mortar" shop too called Beadle. This is an awesome blog!!!

I like to give and receive gifts with a story. When you buy handmade, you know there's something more interesting to it than the object itself.
