For ecco things, all my timbers are either recycled or from ecco friendly sources!

Why do people love and perpetuate such dull colours for seasons like Autumn(Fall) and Winter ???? These are the seasons where you need to wear, and use bright warming colours, that up-lift the grey weather moods that make people feel grey or brown, and flat. Come on Etsy and you creative Artisans, be a bit more daring and give colour the right to bring joy into people's lives !! Lol
dimplekids
Free Priority shipping upgrade for anyone who mentions the Fall fashion Poll! And Free Shipping all together if you buy more than one item! Thanks for everyone who Voted!

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering- are we going to be lucky enough to get in the Gift Guides, as top finalists? I thought maybe that meant you would have a Fall Fashion for Down Under GG - which would be lovely because I have tons of customers from Australia & I think they would really appreciate the special nod!
From the post above in regards to the Fall Fashion voting contest:
"The next top 21 favorites are in the related items below. You can also look for them in the Gift Guides."
