Lives divided by Feb 24th. Someone stayed at home, but their loved ones left. Someone's house was bombed and they had to flee to save children. Someone continues to work, inspire, create - for others it is hard to find themselves in a foreign country and return to their favourite hobbies. But they will all definitely come around, sooner or later start to create even more beautiful things for us! Our fellow small businesses from Ukraine. Talented makers, amazing people! There is a way to show that we care, to support and make real impact - please like, comment, share posts, or order from these amazing shops! Even if some of the makers have now left their homeland all of their creations still have Ukraine at heart!
