Why Haven't I Heard of Etsy Before?

All I have to say is, check out Etsy. Basically, it is a website for all kinds of crafters, from high-end fashionista types to home-ec learned sewers to sell their wares. Not everything listed on the site is eco-friendly but much of it is (the pictures I chose are of recycled or reused clothing only), but all of it is hand-made, and comes directly from the crafters/creators, so you know it’s fair trade! Just browsing the variety of truly creative and fun ideas inspires me immensely.
