Buy handmade- shop Etsy for Christmas!

The Etsy site is back up and going strong with lots of new improvements. A shopping cart allows you to buy multiple items from multiple sellers. The sellers' shops are organized by category, ie, I was able to separate clothing from jewelry from handbags. From the homepage discover some new ways to shop: check out the Treasury where users curate a collection, or shop by color or geography. Take time to explore the site...it's really great. Click on the "shop online" link in the sidebar for my latest listings and a link to my store. Here a couple of my newest items for sale on Etsy:








Collage 6 held at my home this past weekend was a huge success. We had lots people stop by and sales were at an alltime high. It appears that customers continue to love buying directly from the artists. It was especially fun for me to see customers trying on my clothes and wearing them so beautifully. Special thanks to all of you who came out and shared the day with us in Redlands. Here are some pictures (in order) of the work of Katrin Wiese; Karen Mahmoudi; Charlie Keeling; Cindy Rinne; and Marijke Terwisscha:
