Support artisans & small businesses
Good morning everyone! It's May 11th and there remains a blanket of snow here in Northern Maine. I am fighting with what I see and trust that spring and renewal is coming! Speaking of new things, if you are in the spring-fever shopping mode, put a spin on your purchasing. I've been trying to support smaller businesses & artisans during this time as so many of us our challenged in our jobs/finances due to COVID-19. One of the platforms you can do this is on Etsy. The amount of talent in this place is astounding! One of my favorite things in this life is the gift of CREATIVITY! We have the possible abilities to create, craft, and make things eye-catching and interesting. I love to witness what goodness people can create in their minds and then bring to fruition!
Below I am sharing with you some of my favorite Etsy shops, highlighting the kinds of products they craft. However, I encourage you to keep searching on Etsy for items you desire. Jewelry, pottery, digital items, prints, skincare, knit & crouched items, fabric, candles, herbal remedies, vintage, and so much more is at your fingertips!
