Do you love beautiful handmade items? Me too.  That's why I wanted to share this brilliant event being held by Not Mass Produced on March 14th (tomorrow!) over on their Facebook page and facebook event page. You can also win a subscription to Country Living Magazine!

The event is virtual and the team at Not Mass Produced hope that you will join them in celebrating the beautiful work of their designers and makers as well as coming along to ask questions about the site, their plans for the future and why they are so passionate about supporting small scale production.  Just head over to their facebook event page to rsvp and also add a comment about why you love to buy handmade to be in with a chance of winning a years subscription to Country Living Magazine.



So why do we love to buy handmade?  Fiona Marshall of Not Mass Produced puts it very eloquently on the website - I couldn't agree more with all of the points below!
