Woodworked repurposed items by this week’s featured Etsy seller, FrickandFrackScraps:

“At the risk of sounding hokey, I have to say that buying something that was handcrafted means buying a story. Notice when you go to a friends house for dinner and they show you a painting, they describe it by telling you about the artist, where the artist is from, and how they got it. They never say, “I purchased this serving platter from the big store down the road. It was made by a person I do not know, in a country I have never been to, with materials that might or might not cause long term health complications. Isn’t it lovely?” You have a choice when you buy something to keep a designer, builder or artist going. Who knows what your input will do for their growth?”
