Ever since last Sunday when we hit up two parks in one day and then I took a two-hour bike ride around central Brooklyn, I've been a snotty, sneezy, wheezing hot mess. My sources tell me that 98% of everyone we know is suffering right along with me, but as I am now afraid to leave the house I can't fully confirm this. I'm just going to look at the spring flowers from the comfort and allergen-free safety of my desktop computer instead.

It's really fun sometimes to "find" the old guard of Etsy. Marissa (see, if I know their first names, then they are certifiably old guard) has been printmaking on our site since the art category had just a dozen items listed. And she's still making new work all the time — have you visited her shop lately? By mlee, $12.
