I’ve just discovered, via a friend’s online store, the wonder of Etsys. It’s this really cool site where artists and people who create all sorts of things sell their products in ebay-like stores. You can browse in several ways. I bought the cutest little bird necklace… oh, it’s just adorable. Anyway, it’s worth checking out, and it’s great to buy stuff directly from the person making it!
I also love that you can search for people who are local to you, and therefore buy from Australian makers. I hope I can set up an Etsy store one day, but I’d need to stop working full time to be productive enough to do it.
