The Etsy Wetsy Spider...





















Have you checked out Etsy lately? Etsy is similar to ebay where buyers and sellers can connect across the globe, however everything that is sold on Etsy is made by the seller. You can find jewelry, clothes, pet accessories and more. Most of the items are fairly low cost, but don't let that fool you. Items for sale on Etsy are very high quality products you could find in retail stores, but at a fraction of the cost.

Several of my more creative friends have set up shop on Etsy. These adorable baby onesies were made by my friend Lindsay for her twin cousins. You can check them out here. Spend some time browsing on Etsy, but be careful it can get addicting!
