To take a few square feet of nothing, and transform it into something beautiful.
I realized that people are a lot happier creating things than they are buying things. We are a creative, imaginative, expressive species.And our homes are just one of the many canvases we have at our disposal. At My Rusty Trunk, we want you to discover the joy of creating. Starting with your home. We want you to think of the setting up of a space as an energizing, creative pursuit. To breathe life into empty rooms with your ideas.
It’s also wonderful that more people everywhere are beginning to embrace things that are made by hand in small quantities. In case you hadn’t heard, here is why handmade matters.
Often with handmade goods, you have the option of customizing your purchase. Because you’re often dealing directly with the artisans when you purchase handcrafted products, they might be open to tweaking certain aspects of the product specifically to fit your needs.Supporting your local artisan is good for the community, but it’s also good for the art. As technology makes it possible to replace skilled workers with machines it’s important to keep hand-making goods a financially feasible career choice.
No two handmade items are exactly alike. Variations in color, shading, texture, shape and grain are inherent in a handmade item. No two items are alike, so that every single one is one-of-a-kind. This means that every handmade item you purchase is also one-of-a-kind. What’s not to like about that?
