Etsy in the Press: Summer Reading
It's time to hit the beach, and accordingly, there's a need for some light reading. Personally, I prefer nonfiction for most of the year, but as things heat up, I like to find myself a nice page-turner. With that in mind, I'll be dishing up some quick reads from the interwebs and beyond, and maybe even some celebrity …
Happy Mother's Day
I’m a mother of four, the oldest being Eva, a.k.a. GreenLeafandOwl (who is enjoying a new addition to the family right now). My husband and I homeschool the three younger ones, so even though I desire to devote more time to Etsy I am limited because of my other responsibilities. Nevertheless, I intentionally make …
Crafty Genes: A Mother-Daughter Etsy Story

When Carmen Marti bought a new sewing machine and gave her 25 year old Singer to her daughter Jamie Halleckson, little did she know what it would lead to. Carmen has sewn since the age of five, when her grandma and mom taught her to sew Barbie clothes. As a single mom, Carmen stitched up many outfits and toys for …
Etsy Finds: One for the Memory Books
Mother's Day is right around the corner. There aren't many people in this world who still show you unconditional love after being put through temper tantrums, dirty diapers, car sickness in the back seat, late nights worrying and waiting for you to come home, monetary loans, broken bones, hair color …

Etsy Finds: Grab Bag... Must Haves for Spring
A good bag can really do it for me. I'm the type of girl who likes one large carry-all bag as my go-to lifesaver. I've been sniffing around the Bags and Purses category, and I think it's time for a spring bag update. Each of the bags below would make be a great day-to-day addition to your wardrobe: they're large …
