Etsy Finds: Sagittarius vs. Capricorn
I have the great fortune of claiming some pretty important Capricorns (December 22 - January 20) and Sagittarians (November 22 - December 22) in my life. My best friend, Alexis, is a Capricorn, and as I wrote this article on her birthday, she most certainly became my muse for it. My mother is a Sagittarius, and so are …

Etsy Finds: Lean Green Machine

Etsy Finds: Basic Skills
Did you know that we (editorial note: me) tend to wear our favorite 20% of our wardrobe, 80% of the time? (People who wear clothing, that is.

Etsy Finds: Artistic Disposition
I've been eagerly anticipating moving into my new apartment for the new year, and while I have a long list of so-called necessities that must be purchased, I find myself instead spending hours browsing the Art Category on Etsy. When it comes down to it, I'd rather live off of peanut butter and saltines as long …
Etsy Finds: Big in 2009
I'm continually in awe of Etsy designers' ability to hone in on (and create) the next must-have styles. This innovative spirit keeps Etsy fresh and a step ahead of the mainstream.

Etsy Finds: Natural Instincts
Growing up, my childhood home was only a few miles in either direction from the beautiful pine barrens and beaches of the Jersey shore.
