My Christmas Donation

I have been away from the computer this past week, but that doesn't mean that I have not been busy! I have been working on some necklaces that I will be donating as Christmas presents to the women in Bethany house. Bethany house is a young women's shelter for women who are pregnant or have new babies. It is located in Saskatoon Saskatchewan which is where I am from.
This is what the necklaces look like. The black stone is glass and makes this necklace a great statement piece! The chain is a silver plated ball chain that is 16" long but can be extended to 20"s. The chain was graciously donated to me by a supplier on Etsy called ImJewellee
Here are the necklaces all packaged up! I hope all the girls love their gifts this year!

Why Do You Love Handmade?

I believe that we should support handmade because it is a beautiful thing! All the wonderful designers put their hearts into their work because they are truly passionate about it, they also assure great quality and craftsmanship and are able to create something of meaning rather than a mass produced baby blanket from wal-mart or pair of earrings from the drug store. Buying handmade is a great way to keep the culture alive and the creativity flowing!

So... why do you love handmade? Please share your opinions! We would all love to know!
