  89. handmade means its an individual piece made by someone not made from an assembly line. The hand made is special there is a lot of love and dedication that goes into something someone has made it says a lot about the person that has crated something. Its like getting something thats made from scratch from the kitchen its someones unique style. Love handmade I think its something one would love to keep and maybe handdown to their child or children or give to someone that is as sepecial as the handmade item they are giving
