Are you a handicraft admirer and an eager collector as well? Then your house must be featuring them right from the shoe rack to the bedroom closet. While it is very common to have a handmade or hand stitched cushion cover or a wall hanging, it is sometime very difficult to have tiny little things in your home to be all hand crafted! Right? But if you are an ardent handicraft lover, you will not get a single piece which is machine made.
Here we will feature some of the handmade designer utility items.
