There are ENDLESS reasons why you should buy hand-made; however, I am listing my top 5 today.

1. Hand-crafted products are made carefully by crafters who are passionate about their products and pay close attention to detail that machines and robots could never produce.

2. Hand-crafted products are made with better materials than mass-produced items and generally last longer in return.

3. You help support true small businesses when you purchase hand-made items.

4. You most likely will have a one-of-a-kind product when you buy hand-made.

What is the point to having a button?

It's probably the last thing you want to see happen, but seriously, it's pennies to you, but keeps us in the positive.

We have increased our commission fees to make sure our costs are covered. Several times, we've actually lost money on transactions and that just won't keep things going here.

We offer FREE listings and we want to keep it that way. It's just easier on us, plus you don't have to feel limited for what you want to list while sticking to your budget.

We're fast approaching our 6 MONTH ANNIVERSARY of being in operation.

I can't believe it's been that long... it seems like yesterday that we went live. However, all the endless nights of working to improve the sites to help the shops and meeting all the wonderful shop owners and seeing your AMAZING talents has been an incredible journey.

I am putting together some GREAT promotional deals for new & current shops. You won't want to miss this!!
