Sweet story…he’s a keeper!
Since you’re talking about hearts, I thought I’d pass along this shop. They’ve collected over $3000 since the earthquake. Pretty amazing!

aww this story made me smile. It’s so true though, when you purchase a gift from an artisan you feel SO much more excited to give it, to watch the expression on the receiver’s face and to tell the story about how you found this perfect item. Its so much more meaningful.

Awe! So sweet. Just the fact that he took the time to look for something that is handmade is a present in itself.
