Buyhandmade Pledge
Have you taken the pledge to buy handmade this holiday season? If not, visit Buyhandmade.org and do it now. DIYthing loves to promote handmade items from crafters and indie artists and we were thrilled to hear about Buyhandmade. It is a collaboration between Etsy, Craftster, indiepublic, Craft Magazine, Interweave, Burdastyle, The Austin Craft Mafia, Design*Sponge, and The American Craft Council. Of course we love to see such collaboration which in the DIY world is really the norm. This group is calling themselves The Handmade Consortium and we know that you will support the effort.
