Every once in a while you need to do something just for yourself.
One way to do that is to purchase a piece of art from an artist you love. You are then supporting a small business, and getting something you will love and cherish for many years.
You don't have to spend a lot of money, consider buying a print or greeting card and framing it, maybe a piece of jewelry, or a hand knit scarf, you just want it to be something you love.

Well last weekend I bought a bunch of craft supplies. lol I've never had trouble spending on myself!!! I do try to always buy some locally made art whenever I'm on vacation.
ReplyDeleteI bought a small watercolor from my local artist friend Glenda, which hangs above my printer. That was several months ago. Perhaps I'll treat myself to a self-indulgent artsy purchase after tax season.
ReplyDeleteI try to buy something for myself at each craft show I vend at. I like buying handmade and local :)
ReplyDeleteI don't even know when the last time was that I bought something for myself for fun. It's really time I do that!
ReplyDeleteIt's so important to treat yourself once in a while, especially to something handmade!
ReplyDeleteGreat thought.. :) I haven't been to an art or craft show in several years. The last show I went to I purchased a lovely stained glass trinket box from a stained glass artist. I adore that little trinket box and look at it everyday. So, new shoes may be good for the feet, but art is good for the soul. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a little while since I've bought any art on Etsy but I have my eye on a piece that I want to buy myself for Xmas... I'm not telling what it is, because it's OOAK and if someone else gets it before me I will be heart broken. :)
