I covet my neighbor’s handmade goods….

I am a wannabe hippie, without a doubt.  I dream of buying all local and organic, wearing organic, all natural fiber clothing, using chemical free cleaning solutions and riding my bike to work even when it’s raining.  I’m working on it but I’m quite there yet (please read: far, far from it.)  BUT!  I have started doing my “fun” shopping at this awesome website that promotes handmade artistic goods called Etsy.com.  I like that I can make purchases that supports small artists and not huge, conglomerate companies.  Plus! the stuff is wicked different from items you would find in huge box stores, or even small box stores.
