Cecilia Leibovitz is a mom of four, step-mom to two. With thirteen years of experience in the children's industry, Cecilia's focus has always been on handmade and eco-friendly items; Back in 1994 she started her first business selling natural toys and cloth diapers. In 2001, Cecilia went on hiatus to complete her undergraduate degree in English at Mount Holyoke College. She couldn't stay away from the world of entrepreneurship, and started Craftsbury Kids in 2004 while still in school. During her spare time Cecilia enjoys reading, writing, design, and drives in the country with a car full of kids.
Craftsbury Kids store's mission is to offer parents and gift-givers an alternative to mass-produced goods, items that offer a caliber of quality that many people aren't aware still exists for the younger set. Craftsbury Kids endeavor to help talented artists and crafters earn a living doing what they love, while enriching the lives of children by offering beautiful products that will help to encourage a life-long appreciation for the arts.
You won't find mass-produced flashy electronic toys, or 'cookie-cutter,' plastic fad driven items at craftsburykids.com. Craftsbury Kid's hope is to inspire children's imaginations, and encourage them to be themselves. Children exposed to items created by artists lead more enriching lives! Rather than drown kids in cheap big box booty, Craftsbury store gives them a handful of truly inspiring items they will treasure, learn from, and maybe one day pass on to their own children.
The majority of the products are handcrafted by independent artisans and small cottage industries. Here's why:
-You love the unique beauty and quality of well-crafted handmade goods, and you want your children to have an appreciation for them too.
-You get real things, created by real people who enjoy what they do, not "cookie-cutter" knock-offs. The difference between the two is undeniable; you can literally feel the energy and caring that went into the work of a fine handmade piece.
-You help support independent artists and their families.
-You help promote local economies and fair trade.
-Future generations will thank you as they benefit from your investment!
