Handmade Marathon

There are people out there who truly value the art of handmade. Alison Butler of The Petit Cadeau is one of those people. To celebrate the art & love for all things handmade she is placing 26 handmade businesses in the spotlight on her blog during the month of October.

Why 26? Well, Alison will be running her first marathon on November 4, 2012 in New York and instead of running for charity she chose to raise awareness around supporting handmade businesses and therefore one shop will represent one actual marathon mile.



Since October 1 some truly lovely shops have been making their appearance on The Petit Cadeau blog. If you have been thinking about starting on your Christmas shopping, then you should have a look at what all these wonderful handmade businesses have to offer. You will find jewelry, art, home & nursery decor & more! You can even download a free wish list to write down all your favorite items!

When you buy handmade you get something that has been made with love + care AND you support the dream of the person behind the shop. Now doesn't that just make your heart happy?

So go ahead and join me for the Handmade Marathon. Who knows, you might even discover your next favorite shop!
