There is nothing that says “I love you” more than something hand made from the heart. The cloche hat captures my new exquisite Sweetling well.

I love handmade. Someone pours their creativity into something and then puts it out there for the world-will you love me? It’s like the things have personalities, so much thought and effort have gone into them. Besides, handmade’s always cuter!

Why? So many reasons! Unique, crafted by an individual with a passion for what he/she makes, and personalizable!
I’d love to win the Puppy Wishes tags. Thanks for the chance!

I have spent hours today pouring over The Baby Gardner’s shop and other vintage outlets. My spirits have been lifted from the joy of admiring the talents, skills and love that go into handmade items. I will never look at cheap, mass-produced goods the same way again!

Oops! I forgot to mention that I’d be delighted with the puppy gift tags. Of course, then I’d have to get vintage papers for wrapping… vintage gifts to go in the wrappings… This can get addictive, can’t it??

i love handmade because it is always more special and one of a kind than anything storebought, plus you can choose to use vintage or recycled materials and you know exactly where everything came from.
i would love to win the gift tags – don’t have a baby yet!
