Buy Handmade - Make Your Pledge To Buy Handmade Goods.

"I took the handmade pledge and I'm proud of it."

"Why should people buy handmade? Plain and simple, it's good for the earth. Buying handmade is buying with consciousness and promoting business with consciousness. Not only is it supporting small business, which hopefully is sweat-shop free, positive, happy, earth friendly environment-creating less waste then a large mass produced line, but also, supports someone's dream, and helps keep things person to person and personal. Handmade gear is a part of living the dream: the artist dreams when they make their work, and you buying it, helps support them to live their dream. It's a wonderful give and take. Each piece then means much more when the value and majic of the work is understood in this way."
