my new passion is finding ways to re-use or up-cycle discarded and often forgotten about items. lately i've been focused on tennis balls. our local tennis club just throws these little darlings away by the hundreds in the summer... in the winter, thankfully, they donate them to local schools and after school programs for crafts and chair stoppers.

Like a moth to a flame I was drawn to well...this moth made by a flame. Pun intended. Nina, 28, artist, beadsinthebelfry.etsy.com |
I love the little things. As in, the little whiskers stitched on my red kitty or the tiny felt berries made for a family of felt gnomes. Chloe, 15, Etsian, www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5159475 |
My family buys handmade or homegrown because we like to know where our goods come from and where the money is going. I love spending my hard earned money on something that I know was made with heart. I love knowing that I'm supporting another small business, or that I may be helping to keep a Mom, Dad or both at home. Kickshaw Confections, Confectioner/Chocolatier, www.kickshawconfections.com |
I'm a make-up, lotion, anything-pretty-and-smells-good junkie. Let's just say I can easily spend a couple of hours in Sephora. I started purchasing all my bath and body related products on Etsy about a month ago. I started because 1 - I have a shop on Etsy that I love and work on, so I'm already in front of (or near) my computer, 2 - I love the idea of products made in small batches. To me that means that more time and care was taken to create the products. 3 - Vegan, good-for-your skin stuff is all I'm about now that I've turned 30 (okay, 31) and I wish I had started going the more organic route earlier!
