{world map from these are things & handmade in Ohio}
by Jessika Hepburn, Editor
It’s a new month and time for a new theme! Last month our contributors & I shared a little about what inspires us to create. This month we will be exploring handmade in our towns, cities and countries. We come from far and wide so it will be fun to learn a little about where some of us come from & get to be handmade tourists in our own backyards. I will be gearing up for winter (it’s supposed to SNOW this week) and heading out to interview the owner of a local handmade store; Love, Me Boutique and to photograph our amazing Halifax Farmer’s Market. I will also be sharing the talent of some Canadian crafters.
Want to play along and be handmade tourists too?
Going with the theme of Handmade Here (as in Handmade Here:Halifax or Handmade Here:Japan etc.) write a blog post, interview someone local, make an Etsy treasury, create a board on Pinterest, share photos on Flickr-whatever really! Then share your local handmade goodness with me by commenting below or on Twitter using the hashtag #handmadehere. I would love the chance to “visit” your towns! If there is an artist/store/handmade resource in your town I should know about now is the time to clue me in. I’ll round up all your handmade links and share them at the end of the month so we can all visit each other, no matter where we might be.
Let the fun begin!
