This is my favorite time of year and, as a handmade business owner, the busiest! I love knowing that people are giving my creations to those they adore. How lucky am I to call my dream, my job?! That is never lost on me.
This issue is filled with 50+ female, hand- made business owners that put their hearts and souls into everything they create. That is what you get when you shop handmade; love, passion, & pro-
fessional craftsmanship. Home based business owners work an average of 60-70 hours a week, in addition to their home duties. I am so proud to showcase some of the best handmade businesses!
Support handmade and shop small this season. Your purchase ensures a family can put food on their table, kids can go to sports lessons, and that money stays within our communities.. Happy Holidays!
Love + Light
