If you can name three artists in your local area, that's fantastic! Drop their names in the comments. It means you're actively engaging with your community's creative scene and supporting the talented individuals who contribute to its vibrancy. By attending their exhibitions and performances or purchasing their work, you're directly investing in their success and helping to sustain the local arts ecosystem. However, if you struggle to name even a few local artists, it's a sign that you may miss out on the incredible talent in your backyard. This is an opportunity to start exploring and discovering the wealth of creativity within your community. Luckily, goimagine makes it easy to find makers to support both locally and nationwide. -- Featured in this post: Granny Square Mushrooms by @ashley.minibohoboutique Fluid Art Tray by @henbitart Beaded Earrings by @tashajanedesigns Leather Tote Bag by Rodrigo’s Handmade Goods Wall Clock by @funcoolwallclocks #ShopLocal #ShopHandamde #ShopSmall #ShopWithPurpose #Goimagine #HandmadeForGood

Where do you store your thoughts, ideas, and inspirations? In a world dominated by digital screens and endless distractions, there's something uniquely satisfying about putting pen to paper.

When you have a notebook by your side, you have a sacred space to explore your ideas without the pressure of perfection. You can scribble, sketch, and let your thoughts flow freely without the constraints of a blinking cursor or the temptation to hit the backspace key. #HandmadeForGood #SupportHandamde #Goimagine #Illustration #IdeaBook #Notebook

Small handmade businesses are the heartbeat of our local communities. When you choose to support these talented makers, you're not just purchasing a product - you're investing in the fabric of your neighborhood. Shopping for handmade means more than just finding unique, high-quality goods. It means cultivating a thriving, tight-knit community that celebrates its artisans and small entrepreneurs. It means supporting your neighbors and feeling pride in the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that make your local area special. While National Handmade Day is officially over, let's unite to champion our community's small businesses. When we #ShopSmall and #ShopHandmade, we're not just shopping—we're investing in the lifeblood of our neighborhoods and the people who make them so vibrant online and offline. -- Featured in this Post (🔗 in bio): Moon Phase Sketchbook by Pug & Paper Crystal Moon Planchette by Dream in Amber Lunar Phase Necklace by Moonkist Jewelry Luna Moth Tote by the Cosmic Stitchery Crescent Moon Scene Suncatcher by The Sylvan Guild #HandmadeForGood #Goimagine #ShopWithPurpose #SupportHandmade

Embracing a sustainable lifestyle has become increasingly important, and supporting small handmade businesses can be a powerful step in that direction. By choosing handcrafted products over mass-produced goods, you actively contribute to reducing environmental impact and promoting eco-friendly practices. Handmade businesses prioritize approaches that minimize waste and carbon footprint, from sourcing local materials to repurposing discarded items. Discover the environmental advantages of supporting handmade: 1. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Handmade products often involve local sourcing of materials and minimized transportation, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint than mass-produced goods. 2. Eco-Conscious Production: Many small handmade businesses adopt environmentally friendly production methods, utilizing natural materials, implementing waste reduction strategies, and embracing eco-conscious practices. 3. Locally Sourced Materials: Handmade businesses that use locally sourced materials contribute to the local economy while minimizing the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation. 4. Upcycling and Repurposing: Some handmade businesses specialize in upcycling and repurposing materials, breathing new life into discarded items and reducing waste. Watch for our Scrap-tastic Maker Challenge collection, which will be released next week! 5. Mindful Consumption: Handmade products often inspire a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and resources involved, promoting mindful consumption and reducing the demand for mass-produced, disposable items. By supporting small handmade businesses, you actively participate in a movement that values sustainability, promotes eco-friendly practices, and reduces the strain on our planet's resources. -- Featured Artisans: Reusable Make Up Remover Pads by Bass Creations Zero Waste Dishwasher Soap by Butter Me Up Organics Recycled Plastic Bag Jumpropes by Second Made Zero Waste Shampoo Bars by AJOMED Cosmetics & Wellness Myrtle Wood Charcuterie Board by Michael Reed Wood Artisan #goimagine #HandmadeForGood #SustainableLiving #Handmade #NationalHandmadeDay #HandmadeHome
As we approach National Handmade Day, it is important to remember exactly why supporting handmade businesses is important. Today, we're focusing on the impact that supporting handmade products has on artisans and makers. 1. Financial Sustainability: Purchasing handmade goods directly contributes to the income and financial sustainability of makers and artists. For many of them, their craft is not just a hobby but a livelihood, and your support helps them earn a living and continue pursuing their passion. 2. Artistic Encouragement: Appreciating handmade creations motivates and inspires artists to refine their skills and explore new creative avenues. 3. Preserving Traditions: Many handmade items are created using traditional techniques and skills passed down through generations. By supporting handmade businesses, you are helping to preserve these cultural heritage crafts and ensure they are not lost to mass production or modernization. 4. Personal Growth: For many makers and artists, their craft is a means of self-expression, personal growth, and empowerment. By supporting their work, you appreciate their creations and contribute to their sense of identity, confidence, and overall well-being. 5. Community Building: The handmade community often fosters a strong connection and camaraderie among makers and artists. By supporting handmade businesses, you are helping to strengthen this community, enabling makers to share ideas, collaborate, and inspire one another, ultimately leading to a richer and more diverse creative ecosystem. Your support for handmade goods has a profound impact that extends beyond the physical product itself. It contributes to the livelihood, creativity, cultural preservation, personal growth, and community building of the talented individuals behind these unique and meaningful creations. -- Featured Artisans: Beaded Bar Earrings by Pooka Queen Leather Tarot Card Case by True Craftworks Pistachio Snack Bowl by Shotspark Modern Baby Quilt by TheBestSeamstress Lemon Poppy Seed Vegan Soap by Ashfork Creek #goimagine #HandmadeForGood #NationalHandmadeDay #SupportHandmade #ShopWithPurpose

Feeling the itch for a refresh? Sometimes, the easiest way to update your space is with a pop of personality on the walls!

We’re not here for the money. We’re here to support the handmade community by building a platform for social good. In the "real world," commerce happens at corporate malls and public marketplaces. This balance is a vital part of our economy, giving people the option to purchase mass-produced items from large corporations or support local makers at markets and fairs. Unfortunately, as more shopping happens online, the ability to support local makers is threatened. Large corporate marketplaces have become a very expensive toll booth to the internet, making it difficult for makers to survive in the online world. It's no surprise that Wall Street-owned platforms are focused more on profits to shareholders than giving back to society. At goimagine, we believe the internet is an extension of the physical world and deserves an affordable and inclusive space for handmade sellers to earn an income. For the same reason farmers markets and street fairs exist in your hometown, having a socially responsible space for artisans to sell online is sorely needed. That’s why we have built the first purpose-driven alternative to corporate online marketplaces. Our mission is to support makers and artists throughout the United States by building a community-driven marketplace focused on helping creators build their businesses online. This includes providing tools to sell online, fostering a safe community to network with peers, and offering educational programming to help creators build their businesses. Share if you believe in our mission. #handmadeforgood #goimaigne #etsyseller #makersgonnamake #handmadecommunity
