    I love supporting the 'handmakers' of this world. I enjoy purchasing handmade and feeling the love that has gone into the item, and I get such a buzz out of giving one of my items, almost as if a part of me has gone too. It makes for a giving, sharing community, financially and emotionally.

  14. Robyn AndersonOctober 31, 2010 at 5:23 AM

    I'm not sure if this counts, but my favourite item is one that has already sold. "A Rose for My Sweetheart" http://www.etsy.com/transaction/31692615

    Congrats on reaching your 500 likers chicky - way to go!
    Well you know I am a fan, a follower, a friend etc...
    Love handmade because it is just the best - It is personal and expresses individuality . It supports the small business and is just a "feel good" purchase.
    Ice-cream - well I am a sucker for Mint
    xox
    Oh and yes I will share the giveaway on FB

    I love handmade because these creations are made with love, are often unique because they're not commercially mass produced and purchasing handmade supports small business.

    I love handmade because it is deeply personal... it must surely begin with a dream, a wish or intent to create, then it evolves through the hands and overcomes any obstacles until it reaches fulfilment... what a victory!
