I love Etsy.  Have you been there?  You have to check it out.  It's sort of a huge online craft show.  I can get sucked in for hours.  What's cool is that everything is so unique and it's all made by people with ideas and crafty skills.  Not machines.  Not 3,000 at a time.  One at a time.  Lots of times, things are made by moms like us, who are just trying to get their creative on and make a few bucks doing it.  And most times if you have a special request, the seller is happy to accommodate you.

Tonight I ordered a bunch of hair clips for my daughter.  Now that she's two, she actually has enough hair to possibly, potentially, maybe handle some type of hair accessory.  But her hair is very smooth and fine.  So I know I need the kind of clips with non-slip grips.  Oh, and she's a little peanut, so she needs the clips to be little.  There are tons on Etsy, and there are such cute things.  Personally, I like the felt clips the best--but there are about a jillion of them so there's something for everyone.

Etsy is a great place for holiday shopping, too.  The stuff is unique, usually reasonably priced, and there's just some amazing craftsmanship going on.  Plus, when you shop at Etsy, you can feel good because you're supporting small businesses.  So everybody wins.  Check it out: www.etsy.com
