i heart etsy

I've been spending way too much time there. I decided that even when I don't have time to make every single gift we give, I can at least give handmade gifts purchased from other crafters. So I've been scoping out a few specific items I had in mind, and finding loads more that I didn't even know I needed. Some of the prices are really reasonable, some outrageous. In the time I am spending looking through all the cool handmade stuff, I could probably just make my gifts in the first place, but the variety will be much better this way. I'll share a few of my recent purchases once the recipients have them in hand. Meanwhile, here are a few things that have caught my eye for one reason or another. Just lovely! Check out my friend Susanna's dresses too- we have several of these and they are very very nice. I just love knowing that when I buy things on Etsy I am supporting another creative person out there somewhere.
