We are a small team, and find ourselves needing to prioritize how much time we spend on socials. While we will post occasionally here, the best way to hear from us is to get on our email list. We only send a few emails a month. 🌿 🎉
Did you know that we have gift subscriptions? So the next time someone asks what they can do to help your business other than buy a product- hit them up to get you a gift subscription to Handmade Seller! 🥰

Endangered breeds of livestock need jobs- this was a comment I first heard last year when I learned about the Livestock Conservancy at a conference. And I've wanted to share their story ever since. This month we are delighted to feature the Shave 'Em to Save 'Em program!
