HI! HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GOOD WEEK SO FAR.

I WAS THINKING YESTERDAY ABOUT HOW I TOOK THE PLEDGE TO BUY HANDMADE AND I DON’T KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING VERY WELL WITH THAT.

I ALWAYS ASK YOU TO PURCHASE FROM MY SHOP. I ALSO ALWAYS ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT HANDMADE.
I BUY FROM ETSY & ARTFIRE ALL THE TIME BUT MOST OF IT IS SUPPLIES. WHAT I DECIDED TO DO IS, BUY HANDMADE AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH IF NOT MORE. THIS SHOULD BE EASY SINCE THERE ARE HOLIDAZE AND BIRTHDAY’S ALL THE TIME.

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I PURCHASED THIS BLYTHE DRESS FROM CHARLIE & ZEE DRESS FACTORY. SOOOOO CUTE ISN’T IT???!!!???!!! LOOKS LIKE HER SHOP IS SOLD OUT BUT PLEASE CHECK OUT TACHA’S FLICKR, SHE HAS MADE SOME AWESOME DRESSES.

I WLL TRY TO UPDATE WITH MY MONTHLY PURCHASES AS OFTEN AS I CAN.

THANKS FOR VISITING HAVE A GREAT DAY.
