I can honestly say that I am a small business and indie craftsperson supporter (hey, that’s why Mixed Plate exists!). 100%. If it means I have to pay more for something that is handmade compared to a cheaper version from a big box shop I will ALWAYS go handmade. Not only does that mean you are going for a unique and great quality product, but you are also supporting your fellow creative types. That being said and while this blog is usually indie…I walked into Anthropologie the other day. I’m not sure if I should feel bad about this or not. I didn’t buy anything there, just looked. I have to say that there’s a lot of cute and pretty there. May I share with you?…
