Discovering a new way to spend money in these hard financial times is wrong, correct? What if, by spending your money, you would be helping small local artists?
I love handmade things, especially those things that are a little folk arty and or have an originality to them.
Unfortunately for my wallet, I have discovered Etsy and... there are a whole lot of talented folks on this website. I got sucked into the art section and haven't been able to find my way out. For those of you not so interested in art check out the other categories. Yes, there is some amateurish stuff but, overall, I've found some very nice, authentic pieces and frequently reasonably priced. Who knows, maybe one day my stuff will be up there and you can then support another local artist!
