Blueberries on the brain

As I sit drinking my morning coffee, my mind drifted to the pint of blueberries in the fridge. I think I'll have some on top of my vanilla yogurt for breakfast. Enjoy this blueberry feast for the eyes, courtesy of Etsy...

What you'll find in my corner of the blogosphere

The primary reason I started this blog was to rave about the BEST handmade shops I know of. I have a great deal of respect for handmade artisans. In this era of big box stores, seeing an independently owned, handmade shop succeed is all too rare!

Here you'll find me showing off the pretty items I see on my many Etsy "window shopping" excursions. I'll also shine a spotlight on the goods of local handmade artisans who share my greenish views as well.

Please note that I do NOT get paid to blog about these shops or products! I blog to spread the word about the handmade movement in America. On a selfish note, I hope that by promoting them, these shops can continue to thrive and I can continue to shop with them! I jokingly refer to my love of shopping by saying it's, "how I stimulate the economy one purchase at a time"!

You will also find greenish tips, a few recipes, some gratuitous puppy pictures, monthly giveaways and whatever else I think may pique your interest!
