Farewell to Halloween Give-Away

Do You Etsy?

My online life changed when a Celebrate365 subscriber in Houston suggested that I visit Etsy. She advised that I would find a variety of up and coming artists there. She was right! Many well-known folk artists still maintain shops there.

I love Etsy because it’s often a platform for new artists to lauch their lines and refine their ideas and designs. It can take a lot of browsing time, but it’s fun to "discover" talented artists who are just starting out.

Like what you see here? Take a look at their Etsy shops for a wider selection. Then, don’t forget to visit our Farewell to Halloween Give Away! The items pictured below are part of the festivities. You only have to leave a comment to participate. That’s easy!
