They say, "Money makes the world go 'round.”

…

But honestly? For me, it's soap suds, candle wax, and tangled balls of yarn. Sure, I could chase Wall Street dreams, but l'd rather chase the perfect lavender swirl, or crochet that one stitch for the 47th time until it finally looks cute.

Do I get rich? Nope.

Do I get clay and fuzz everywhere? Absolutely.

Do I wake up excited to make beautiful little things that make people smile? 1000%.

At the end of the day, my heart's in the handmade magic— not in the money.

If you're thinking about buying from me— just know you're supporting not just a small business, but a big dream (and possibly my never-ending yarn addiction).

Each thing I make is in my shop. Here recently I’ve added a few seasonal things, including Christmas (babyyyy, I AM EXCITEDDD!!)

Huge shout out to my girl Valerie (Just Another Teenage Girl), who bought things from my shop and L-O-V-E-D it. She helped out a ton. So if you don’t follow her, you’d better pause and do it now. I’m serious. Go!

Now that you’ve followed her (ahem), please feel free to check out my Etsy shop! You can go to the link in my bio, or type:

prettyandpracticalb.etsy.com

into your browser. It’ll pull up my whole shop and all of my projects. I only ship to the US states (sorry to my foreign babes, I love you).

Anyways, check it out. Since I love you so much, I’m even including a deal; load that cart up and use promo code AUTHOR for an extra 15% off!! YUSSSS! I know, I’m awesome.

And if you use Pinterest, follow me there because my follower count sucks. If you use Instagram, hop on and follow me there as well! I use prettyandpracticalbeauty as my username on both of those, so no confusion

Handmade rocks!!
