Are you kidding me?In

I have to say she asked first - not demanded, but was the lady serious?  She wanted a discount on a scarf.  Why, because she felt like it.  She was buying one.  One scarf.  And wanted a ridiculously large discount.  I appreciate her ability to be so bold but do not applaud her entitlement attitude. It was this dear sweet lady who prompted me to write a little ditty about hand made.  Take it as you want, remembering that we live in a free country with a free economy -- free meaning you have a choice, likewise I do too.  

Handmade does not come from China

Handmade comes from someone you might meet (whether virtual or in person)

Handmade is made by hand (duh)

Handmade has heart

Handmade might be a grandfather saving money to see his grand kids

Handmade is a mother of 4 toiling in the dark to pay for karate lessons

Handmade is a father trying to put his kids thru college

Handmade is a student choosing to create and share

Handmade is sincere

Handmade is time from loved ones

Handmade can be a dream

Handmade can mean a future

Handmade is not perfect, but remains beautiful

Handmade is a piece of someone

Handmade is a conscience choice

Handmade is just something a robot can not recreate

Handmade is intentional

Handmade is for you

So that being said, I appreciate you, I appreciate your willingness to let me share a little bit of me with you.  I am thankful for my faithful wholesale customers, the ladies at the PTA, and my friends I hope to meet one day on Etsy.  With each item I make I pray that it will bless the person who it is intended for and I remember to thank God everyday for giving me the ability to do something I love.  


So dear lady, I appreciate that times are tough and you are on a budget - - maybe you should have asked why I spend time away from my family to sew, then you would have realized you are not alone.
