There are so many reasons why I would choose handmade over store bought. It is truly one of a kind because it's not mass produced, each item is completely unique.

But even better than that is knowing that you are supporting someone who has dedicated their lives to making these beautiful unique things.

"We are motivated by ideals from the past that have taken on new significance in our modern world. We see a return to working together/collaboration; hand-crafting beautiful objects that have longevity; and taking notice of the small details in the natural world as lifestyle values that have important implications for the ways we live now and in the future." - Ephiram Pottery
