I tend to make what I want, but if it's something I know I wont, I will buy it for the house!!

Decor for the house is what I buy most!!

i also like home decorations.I don't like big things. I prefer statuettes(usually wooden) and decorative flowers.I don know how about you, but i like items made by hand because i think handicrafts have a special gentle aura that protect your house of bad evils Maybe i am too superstitious ?

Decorations here as well.

Would be interested in a purse if it was a bit more than a sack with a single, small zippered pocket on the inside. But, so many of the ones we've seen at fairs are not much more than the "Jordy" bags that were the rage on another forum or drink juice bags.

I put decorations for my home only because there wasn't a "gifts for others" or "to figure out how it was made" catagory which is why I will usually purchase handmade items

I tend to buy stuff that I don't know how to make or want to make, or if I see a need.
I bought some dresses from another mom one time, even though I could have made them, she was in need of the money that month, and her's are better than what I could have done (it's that pattern thing, I am self-taught at everything I do so I just have not figured out how to read those things).
I have bought jewlery from someone I met at a craft fair (spent the whole long weekend next door to each other).
Usually though I buy soaps or candles, just because I have never tried to make them, although there was a post telling me how, and I am thinking I might have to try, because it sounds easier than I thought.
MY one real weakness though is old quilts! I love them and will buy them anytime I find them at the right price, so hence I voted for patchworks.
