Original Abbie Designs by Abbie Galie

Aside from being a professional artist and graphic designer, I am a full time stay at home mom of Cornelius - 2/2/06. Being an artist allows me to fulfill my life in two ways that I always wanted - to stay home with my children, and to create art. All my designs are original - everything I make is done by hand.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I love doing art and craft shows, but I have grown tired of shows that are not strictly handmade shows. If you are having a show or know of a show that is completely handmade, let me know, if my schedule is free I am usually happy to do shows. Because I do so many shows, I often do not have a large inventory in my online shops. If you saw something at a show that you are looking for specifically, please contact me - I more than likely have it!
★★★★★★★★★★★★★
I am the coordinator behind The Handmade Faire, a twice annual 100% Handmade Indie Art & Craft show in NJ.

Home Shows
Fall & Winter are the season of Home Shows - I am happy to come to your home and setup, you invite your friends & colleagues - serving light refreshments is up to you, I make a professional setup in your house, and we have a fun night with you and your friends. You get $25 merchandise credit for hosting the party, and another $10 for every $100 that is sold - and you can claim it the day of the party, or, anytime after that. Minimum invite for a party is 5 guests. I can travel mostly anywhere in NJ - I am located in Burlington County. (read less)

★★★Buy Handmade for the Holidays!★★★

★Why Buy Handmade?★
#1. Support Local Independent Artists
#2. Be an Individual, not some brand
#3. Own something that is truly unique
#4. Better Gift Giving - no chance of doubles!
#5. Think Green - not factory made!

Buying Handmade makes for better gift-giving.
The giver of a handmade gift has avoided the parking lots and long lines of the big chain stores in favor of something more meaningful. If the giver has
purchased the gift, s/he feels the satisfaction of supporting an artist or crafter directly. The recipient of the handmade gift receives something that is
one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can be seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of
large-scale manufacturing.

Buying handmade is better for people.
The ascendancy of chain store culture and global manufacturing has left us dressing, furnishing, and decorating alike. We are encouraged to be consumers, not producers, of our own culture. Our ties to the local and human sources of our goods have been lost. Buying handmade helps us reconnect.

Buying handmade is better for the environment.
The accumulating environmental effects of mass production are a major cause of global warming and the poisoning of our air, water and soil. Every item you make or purchase from a small-scale independent artist or crafter strikes a small blow to the forces of mass production. -”Why Buy Handmade” - BuyHandmade.org
