Handsome Things believe in:
♥ The return of the artisan & craftsmanship
♥ Buying local
♥ Great design
♥ Unique handmade items
♥ Living a fulfilling creative life outside of the system
♥ Collaboration
♥ South African talent
♥ Side projects (those passions you pursue after 5 o’clock — you know the ones that will one day make you famous)
♥ Making Macramé owls, not war
Please contact me if you are privy to any handsome designs or if you would just like me to call you handsome. I’m happy to oblige.

* My aim is to celebrate and showcase all the talented people involved in a project. Please let me know if anything isn’t credited properly or if you’d like anything removed.
Love,

I am going to try and stop pressing ‘like’ all the time, and revisit your blog when I’m not so excited- to actually visit all the links and you share and take my time and add useful comments. I might become addicted to your blog.
