June Umba Box..

I am super excited I got home from helping a dear friend prepare for her upcoming nuptials to find June's Umba box on my doorstep!

For those who don't know Umba Box is a monthly subscription box. Each month they send subscribers out a "curated collection of  1 to3 of handmade products."  I am a huge fan of buying handmade whenever possible. There are so many positives in my mind about buying handmade.. from not supporting big box store to supporting artists who put their hearts and souls into their products.  Also, quite often handmade items incorporate recycled, or higher quality materials, and have lower carbon footprints than similar items found on a stores shelf.

So this is what the box looked liked when I opened it up.  Right away I was excited because I loove candy. (a little too much!) & every one knows good things come in tiny boxes....

So here is what I received 2 yummy looking lollipops from the Candied Flower on Etsy.. I am so happy to see that Umba box is  supporting fellow Etsy artisans!  I also got this delicate goldfill necklace from Lucid New York.  I am less excited about the necklace because I could very easily make one like it being a jewelry artist.. however the value of the 14K goldfill necklace alone more than covers the $25 monthly cost of the Umba box.
