You’ve probably seen the headlines—whispers of supply chain slowdowns, shortages, and rising prices. It feels like déjà vu with a side of “not again,” right? But here’s the good news: We handmade makers? We’re still here. Still creating. Still pouring heart and soul into every piece. When big box shelves start looking a little bare, you can count on the small shops—the artists, the crafters, the dreamers (hi, it’s me 👋)—to keep showing up with meaningful, made-with-love goods. Now more than ever, shopping small means something big. It’s about supporting real people, not just products. It’s about choosing connection over convenience. So if you’re looking for gifts, treats, or just a little beauty to brighten your day, remember: We’ve got you. No container ships required. Thanks for being here. You’re part of what keeps this handmade world turning. With gratitude (and glue on my fingers), Christine 🩷 Thewhimsyspirit.com
