For the love of ETSY

I don't know if everyone out there has discovered ETSY or not.. it's like E-bay but for the earth concious. Everything listed is handmade or recycled. I love the concept and even more, I think there is something much better about things you know are handmade. It makes paying a price for something really feel worth it, feel like it took a real person a real amount of time.
I find that I can spend hours on ETSY looking for anything and everything.. so I am trying to also make some stuff so that I can open up my own ETSY store. I am crafty dammit and I really enjoy sewing (well small projects) which fits in nicely to the ETSY environment. I have started to make coasters.. shown below. I've also made a bunch of "Oh so hot" - rice bags to heat up.
Once I get it figured out how on earth to set up my store I will post a link here! If you've never been there - follow the link on my daily addictions list. It's fantastic!

Beautiful work there! And I LOVE my rice bag I have here so much! My mom made it for me. My kids love them too - they are wonderful for winter!
