<3,
I always support handmade because I know that there is good quality work and a lot of time and patience that goes into each piece. I don't mind spending money on items I know are made that way. I know I'm getting what I paid for and even more. I especially love the work of Briar Rose Crafts because of all the creative ideas! I love the candy apple hat! I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

ReplyDeleteI first saw your items posted on another site and just fell in love with them. I just HAD to have one of your creations. You were so nice and kind and customized it to what our needs were. Almost 2 yrs later and they still look amazing!

I support BRC&T because of the uniqueness and the fact that you can't find it anywhere. I love finding an item and having people ask "ohhhh! Where did you get that?" and I LOVE answering "it was a custom order and handmade with love especially for my daughter!" :) I keep coming back because I love the quality and beauty of the items, and because this is your full time job and it makes me happy to support someone who relies on this as income and who is honest and puts their heart into their creations. What makes you stand out is your customer service. I can say for a fact that your prompt email replies and willingness to satisfy my requests is a bonus, another reason why I come back for more! In the future, I would love to see character hats, such as muppets, or sesame street!

I love how fast and responsive you are. When I am so exited about a hat, it is nice to know I won't have to wait forever! And your work is absolutely flawless! The prices are reasonable for the amount of detail and love you put in to eat piece of work. Keep it up and good luck with the delivery of your precious little one!

I support handmade because small business owners are awesome!
ReplyDeleteyou make the cutest, most creative hats i have ever seen!
ReplyDeletebecause your handmade items in particular are super cute, reasonably priced and made to last with lots of love : ) Thank you for your wonderful creations
ReplyDeleteI support handmade items because as a boutique owner myself I know the love that goes into each and every piece. I know that by purchasing that item you are not only getting a quality, well made item but supporting someone with talent and creativity that loves what they are doing and puts that love into every piece. I first found Briar Rose Crafts and Things through Heather Blair Photography and can honestly say that I was inspired to take my own love and desire and follow my own boutique dreams! Thank you for your amazing products and inspiration! Congrats on two amazing years and your new little buddle of joy coming soon!
ReplyDeleteI support handmade because it's unique and made with love.

I am expecting my first baby in December (so excited!). I was looking for a cute newborn hat for photos, and I found your bumble bee beanie on pinterest. It is too cute! I also fell in love with your reindeer beanie! Placing an order for both!
ReplyDeleteI love handmade items because they are unique and made with love and attention to detail.
I am so glad I stumbled upon your products! Congrats on your pregnancy! :)

We love Briar Rose Crafts & Things because this is where the most adorable hats are made. We have too many to count and we have never been dis-satisfied with anything - from the quality and look of the hats to the service. Buying handmade is important to me because who wouldn't want items made with love from someone who enjoys what they do? Handmade also means better quality to me, which is a must since I plan to keep all of these hats and use them for my future children too.
ReplyDeleteI love Briar Rose Craft and Things! I was hooked after seeing the hats used by a local photographer. I love that the hats are hand made and you can tell Christina puts so much love and care into her projects. I contacted her earlier this year with a little project with which to surprise my husband. He's a firefighter and I wanted a set for our newborn. Christina was awesome. She asked what my ideas were and what she made was above and beyond my expectations. I know we will customers for life! Thank you Christina! We love your work and I'm so envious of your abilities!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any children of my own, but I did purchase an Elmo hat and a Snowflake beanie from you last year for Christmas for my cousin's son and daughter. They were a huge hit. Needless to say, since they are growing like weeds, I'll need to invest in new ones for this holiday season. Would it be possible to do Sponge Bob? I know that's his new favorite character!
ReplyDeleteEither way - I have also bought several products for myself. I have gotten so many compliments on them :)
Thank you so much!
I commented on this yesterday but for some reason it didn't go on :( So here it goes again! I was referred to your site by a customer of mine...and man on man I'm SO glad she referred you! I LOVE your work. You're very talented and such a kind hearted person! You put personal touches with all of your work and the way you talk to me as your customer is more like a friend, and I sure do appreciate that! I love having a newborn in my studio and pulling out your products, it makes me SO happy and the parents LOVE them as well!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo congratulations on your 2 year anniversary!!! And thank you for the continued genuine service! <3

Your creations are absolutely beautiful! We are expecting a son in 5 weeks and I was immediately smitten with your products upon finding them on etsy! I've always loved handcrafted works and am not crafty myself so I'm happy to be able to support other hardworking mommies! Congratulations on 2 years!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 2 YEARS! I had to go back and look at my etsy to see when i made my first purchase with you and that was May 8th 2011...you got me hooked right off the bat with your quality of yarn, and overall quality of product. I continued to purchase and they all are great! My business grew faster with your hats! I cant wait to buy many more...and not only did a get some really great hats, BUT i also gained a friend. Never met you in person, but i feel like i have just from convo online! Congrats for 2 years and all the years to come! YOU ROCK!

ReplyDeleteI've been a fan of your page for a while but now that we finally have a little one on the way to I'm excited to actually have someone to purchase for! lol
ReplyDeleteFirst off congrats on your 2 year anniversary! I have never ordered anything from you because i just found out about your page through Heather Blair Photography. I see ALOT of her pictures are using your items! The thing that made me notice your page was the polar bear set that she used i fell in love with it! The little paws were the cutest, i have never seen anything like it! So unique and so creative! Once i became a fan of your page i seen even more items that were so different from everyone else! Anyways, i support handmade because you know each and every piece is made with love from the vendor. It takes a special talent to be as good as you are at making so many different and unique items! I will be purchasing from you in the near future! Thank you so much for having adorable items for us to make our work look even better!
