I know you know this but… buying handmade is so fulfilling. I confess, I forget. I get sucked into the allure of filling the big red cart. This week I found these gifts… $20 and under. I’m changing my ways.
This little guy [a nice surprise for the host of your next party] is made by ArtTales. It is stuffed with recycled plastic bags.
For your more conservative hostess, how about this lovely pendant by TubbyTabby. It is upcycled “from a wooden American Brick from the 40′s. These were toys for kids.”
Something about this tossed me to the 80′s- in a very good way. It’s on sale now!
Kate, along with her husband, bring together farm, food and design at The Steel Fork. They also design and create sculptural metalworks using recycled farm machinery – Gatski Metal. Kate is also the mother of two busy little children.
I totally agree-Buying handmade just makes you feel so good!
And yes, I’m guilty because I forget that fact, too.
Thanks for sharing those lovely gifts!
