Etsy

Kristin was the one who introduced me to Etsy. I'm definitely addicted to it. It is full of handmade artwork, from jewelry to household items, to clothing. I received my first purchase today, a ring with cameras on it from Dillon Designs, as well as a rainbow brite necklace from Heart Sized Crush

I like supporting "local" handmade art, and both pieces were under $10. I like to think buying art will improve my karma when I am trying to sell my photos. I did send my new website,(acandela.carbonmade.com) to a new store opening in Rochester and is looking for two artists to display and sell their work. Not sure what they are looking for but thought it was worth a shot. (Pun not intended) When I'm ready to up the stakes I have my eye on a metal ring, I have been on the hunt for a new one. It's from Stellasilver, and it's called Preppy Plaid!


I wandered Michael's the other day when I was bored, I could have done some damage there, but I resisted and just bought some hemp and beads, (man it is nasty outside with snow and wind) so I'm hibernating today, I drank coffee and watched Weeds earlier and now it's time to make some hemp bracelets.
