I haven’t really done any sort of holiday shopping this season. I’m slowly phasing holiday shopping out (aka BROKE), but were I to make purchases, I’d buy handmade!
You can make the buy handmade pledge here: Buy Handmade — Make Your Pledge To Buy Handmade Goods. The NYT Mag this past Sunday did a huge piece on the handmade movement.

My dear friend Pam Garber and her collaborator Xenia Pachikov recently created a handmade tablecloth zine, KitchenWomenKnives, the first output from Empty Purse Publications. Many many hours of diligent hard work have been put into it. I implore you to check it out / read it / purchase it.
