"When you buy from an independent artist you are buying more than just a pair of shoes or a piece of jewellery or a tea cup.  You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation & hundreds & thousands of failures.  You are buying nights of worrying about paying the rent, having enough cash to eat, feed the dog, you are helping a little girl get dance lessons, or helping the artist to buy more materials.  You aren't just buying a thing, you are buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a private moment in someone's life.  Most importantly, you are buying the artist more time to do something they are truly passionate about; something that makes all of the above, worth the fear & the doubt; something that puts the life into living."
