R E P O S T from When buying from a maker or from a small shop, you’re buying more than just an object. You’re buying hundreds of hours of failures and experimentation - of late nights and early mornings. You are buying days, weeks and months of frustration and moments of pure joy. You aren’t just buying a thing: you’re buying a piece of heart. Part of a soul, a moment of someone’s life. (Adapted from an anonymous internet piece I just love!) Most importantly, you are buying the creator and the shopkeeper more time to sustain their life as an independent artist, entrepreneur or creator. You’re investing in a gift you love, you’re investing in your community and in someone’s livelihood! You’re mindfully committing to champion that person’s career and investing in their future.
I made this piece in several colorways to encourage you to share them in whatever color jumps out at you! Share the image. Share the message. Join the movement. REMINDER: Please tag me when sharing in your stories or feed.
Thank you for supporting me, an independent artist, a woman-owned business - and a little biz spreading joy, helping to build more colorful, creative and connected world - and infusing a little more humor and hope. xo. Natalie
