Handmade Confessional: Misty Stafford aka lapistolera

We met Misty aka lapistolera through the Handmade Cavalcade and the New New Team. She not only makes bags, jewelry and other items, but she also supports other makers. She had matthewstewart make these especially cute love birds so she could use them as her wedding cake toppers!

Since the Handmade Consortium launched the Buy Handmade Pledge (http://buyhandmade.org) last year, over 32,000 people have signed. Some say "hand-made is the new black" — but it's not a trend. This is about real people making changes in their everyday lives and figuring out how to make those changes lasting and sustainable. It's about being able to quit your day job and shop local. It's about personal history and the inspiration behind making something of your own vision.

I love being able to support Etsy artists by buying Handmade. Etsy has also helped me quit a 9-5+ day job! Sweet birds!
