That’s not handmade!!
Curated Resale Items: Keeping the Dream Alive
Hey there, fellow makers and misfits,
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this site was born out of a love for handmade goods and a burning passion for crafting unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. But here’s the real talk: I’m one person, and sometimes it feels like trying to juggle a bazillion ideas while keeping the lights on. The harsh truth is, building a robust handmade inventory takes time, sweat, and a bit of magic that can’t always be conjured overnight.
So, while I’m working behind the scenes on expanding our handmade lineup, I’m bringing you a handpicked selection of curated resale items. These aren’t just any products; they’re thoughtfully chosen adjacents that complement our aesthetic and add real value to the page. Think of them as the perfect bridge between where we are now and where we’re headed—a temporary, yet genuine, extension of our creative family.
Why Resale?
I get it—when you come here, you expect the raw, authentic vibe of handmade creations. And trust me, every fiber of my being is dedicated to that craft. But the reality of running a small business means making some tough calls. Every sale helps me keep the dream alive, fuels future projects, and lets me continue doing what I love. By offering these curated items, I’m not compromising on quality or style; I’m simply supplementing my current inventory with products that share my commitment to excellence and unique design.
Every item in this resale collection has been carefully vetted. I wouldn’t sell anything that doesn’t resonate with the 42Doors ethos—products that are not only functional but also spark a little joy and inspiration. From design-forward home accents to accessories that elevate your everyday, these pieces are here to enhance your space and support a small business owner’s journey.
Transparency Is Key
I believe in keeping it real. If you choose to support the curated resale collection, know that every purchase directly supports my mission to grow and evolve this site. I promise to be completely transparent about where these items come from and why they made the cut. I respect your decision—whether you decide to buy exclusively handmade goods or mix in a few of these curated gems. Your support means the world, and every dollar goes toward a future filled with even more handmade goodness. Remember that even the handmade items come from supplies that are created elsewhere, though!
The Bigger Picture
At the end of the day, it’s all about balance. I’m committed to sourcing locally where possible and creating art that speaks to the spirit of our community. But while some items might be sourced elsewhere, they’re chosen with the same discerning eye and passion for quality that I bring to every handmade piece. It’s a temporary detour on the journey, one that maximizes impact without sacrificing the values I hold dear.
Thank you for riding with me on this adventure. Your support—be it through a purchase, a share, or simply stopping by—makes all the difference. Let’s keep pushing boundaries, supporting small business, and celebrating creativity in every form.
Stay creative, stay bold, and as always—keep it spicy.
Cheers,
Krys
