I buy whatever jumps out at me and is unique, made well and/or is in colors and designs I cannot duplicate. Yes, it's true, most things we see we can duplicate at home but, the truth is, we say that, but rarely do. It's fresh in our mind for maybe 24 hrs and then details get rather fuzzy. And, I've found that to duplicate, in the end, costs more sometimes, especially if we only make one, than what we could have paid at the craft show.
