Buy ... nothing?


Today is Buy Nothing Day. As a crafter who sells her wares, I have always struggled with Buy Nothing Day. I buy nothing, and want to encourage others to buy nothing too ... but when an order comes in and what do I say? "Please order tomorrow, today is Buy Nothing Day." No, sadly, not yet. One day I will be able to say that and to not worry about loosing a customer. For today though, I'll keep my wallet tucked securely in my bag, and simply welcome any order that comes my way.

After all, each of my Dress Me Up products are created and sourced from the most sustainable, low impacting materials - organic cotton, wool, and recycled vintage cottons - and in their own way, are on the outer edges of the consumer machine.
