i like handmade because it is more personal and has details that you can't find in a regular shop or from machine made items . there are more ideas and creativity that stem from it and it goes directly to the person who made it no the company or corporation .

I love to buy and wear handmade because you get to connect with people over the world. There soul has been infused into their work and it's a treasure to behold. When you buy handmade you are supporting someone's art. You are supporting their life. Not the pockets of corporations. Plus, having homemade unique items are just cooler. ;)
I love buying handmade and handmaking things myself because each and every item is unique and a little bit different. Handmade allows you to wear/use exactly what you want and like. You don't have to be a slave to what is currently fashionable and popular, anything and everything is available through handmade/independant stores and making things yourself. Plus, you are giving people the chance to have the best jobs ever!

Such beautiful things! I love handmade items because so much time, thought and effort goes into them and it really shows in the end result. They're usually what stands out and gets the most compliments. One of the best gifts I have ever received was a handmade fake chocolate bracelet from my Friend.

Every since I found etsy I've been in love with buying handmade things. I love the passion and spirit that are in each of the items I own that are handmade. I love the little notes and wrapping detail that they come with. I also really love that many times I can customize and tweak my orders to my liking. I purchased the circlet I wore on my wedding on etsy, and it felt great when I could send the seller a picture of her creation on my head. I find myself continually coming back for more!

i've always made things, and so has my mom, she even had a handmade line years ago, so i feel that is a subject close to my heart. last year while i was at a bad place, a reiki master told me that the chakra of love is conected with the heart, the arms and the hands, so working with them coneccts you to the universal energy of love. a fact that i think summs up the importance of handmade in this caothic time.

I love to buy and wear handmade for the same reason I love to buy and wear vintage... quality. I have handmade clothing from the 1940's that look just as good, if not better, than new items I purchased last month. Granted they require special care, but I probably will too when I'm 70. ;)
