101 Reasons

Jan at Poppytalk asked artists, designers, and shop keepers to help compile a list of 101 reasons to buy handmade this holiday season, and had a quite a response! We agree with many of the sentiments on the list—that buying handmade is important because you're supporting individual artists instead of gigantic corporations, the items are generally more eco-friendly, and the gift means more for both the giver and receiver.
