happy easter


Happy Easter to all. A few weeks ago I decided to treat myself to a little green bag made by this talented woman. It is perfect for my small knitting projects like socks. I have been buying a few things off Etsy lately. I have always believed that it's worthwhile to support small business people and buy from independent sellers as much as possible. I also prefer to buy from local, independent stores however, I don't often get the time to go out and shop so on-line shopping has become the convenient method of buying for me.

Etsy is a community of artisans and I love supporting the people that put their talents and efforts into producing unique objects that give people like myself (who don't have time to make these wonderful things) the opportunity to buy something unique made with care.

Happy Easter!

Love the flowers and the bag is so cute. :)

Independent sellers put a lot of thought and time into their products. I'm a huge believer in support them over some big names out there.

Happy Easter - thank you for your lovely flower photos.

Looks like a great bag - I've always been delighted with my purchases from various Etsy sellers and as you say it feels good to support the independents in a world of chain stores.
