Jumping In

Well now let's see.... it only took me 9 months and 20 days to finally take the plunge into the mysterious waters of the blogosphere! For an Aries who has a difficult time finishing what she started, I'm pretty amazed with myself. I can't take ALL of the credit. Some very sweet people have been my personal cheerleaders. You know who you are and I hope you know just how much I appreciate you shaking your symbolic pom poms for me! I'm really having so much fun thinking about all the potential subjects to blog about. The nerd in me even bought a notebook dedicated to bloggy ideas!

Muah to all of you! Good evening and stop back real soon for a dose of what's going on in my greenish life! :)

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!
