While at my sister’s moving furniture, redesigning, and redecorating her living room, she just happened to mention a little website named Etsy. I am sure I am probably one of the last persons to hear about it. I usually am when it comes to what’s hip and new, but I have to say I was smitten at once. Etsy is the craft person’s answer to mass importation of cheaply made goods. And it can’t come too soon, in my humble opinion. It is a site dedicated to creating a market place where buyers and sellers can find handmade goods and the quality of yesteryear.

For example, I searched up “bookcase” and got 10 pages of styles from  wall mounted shelves to freestanding wooden built-to-order-right-down-to-the-finish cases.

I also found these.  If I had an extra $300 laying around…..

It’s just nice to know that one can still purchase something of quality from an individual;  reminds me of Ma and Pa Ingalls.

Blessings,
