About I Shop Handmade

For BUYERS of Indie Crafts!/Handmade Goods. When posting photos, please include a brief description of the item and where the item was purchased.

** Disclaimer:
We're looking for photos of customers showcasing their handmade or *Indie* PURCHASES. Please do not use this group to showcase your wares -- there are other places for that. From the photos, we want to capture the *magic* that comes from buying something handmade from someone who made whatever you and I bought with so much love and so much care.

As Sarah Neuburger described in the Crafter's Companion by Anna Torborg, we're looking for photos that capture this feeling:

"I remember so very clearly, way back upon a time when I ordered my very first item from an incredibly talented person selling her wares through her very own online store.... I recall so vividly that magic happened the day the envelope arrived with my purchase inside....Never again would I spend my money at some place that didn't care... I knew that when a handmade option was available, that was what I would choose...."
