I try to feature Etsy artists & craftsmen every week. We so often buy things from department stores and don't think twice about where & how they were made. Sometimes the prices are more economical, but if we consider the value and uniqueness of handmade items it would be a no-brainer.
The maternal side of my family is chock full of talented women. Painters, writers, beaders, bakers, gardeners, impressive doodlers, and one heck of a wreath maker. 
My Aunt Peggy has been making beautiful wreaths for years and has finally put them on the market. She uses high-end florals and hand-ties everything (no glue gun). The pictures really don't do them justice..... they are selling like hot cakes!
