shopping local on Etsy

I am a huge Etsy fan. Ever since I discovered it last year (and what a pity it wasn’t sooner), it has become a daily ritual for the sheer joy of it. Eye candy has never felt more sinful.

In anticipation of opening up my own shop I decided to make a purchase to see just how easy it was from start to finish. Naturally I bought from a Canadian seller. The Sweetie Pie Press was selling these unique buttons by Tara Bursey, a very talented Toronto artist whose practice encompasses sculpture and installation as well as drawing and craft. I love these!

It could not have been easier to shop from the comfort of my own couch. Now all I must do is check my mailbox until my eye candy arrives.
