          I love conversations that begin with, "I sell on Etsy to feed my craft addition." Katie makes a lot of great arts and crafts. Every time you drop in her shop, you see something cute, you just didn't know you needed it yet. Take this to die for monkey kozie, perfect for keeping your beverage warm with a smile.
          You know you need it!
          We can all thank her mom for introducing her to photography in high school. To many more new creations and a great day! You can check out her shop here.

Holiday Arts and Craft Show: December 8th from 11 am- 6 pm

            Welcome back from all that delicious turkey last week! We had a great time being off. Nash and I so rarely have a couple days off to enjoy each other's company. We made the most of it. I hope you had a great time too. We're getting ready for the Holiday Arts and Craft Show at the Visual Art Exchange next weekend which promises to be a great show. Much thanks to Etsy and all the other news organizations who have been featuring us. Wow, thank you!
 
             I've been getting a lot of general questions about who these other great artists and crafters we are doing the show with are so I went ahead and composed a full list of everyone who is slated to be in the show like we've done before from the Acorn to Oak Handmade Etsy Team. You can snoop through their shops if you want to click the links on right. I'll also be doing daily write-ups featuring a shop a day leading up to the show so you can learn a little bit more about what inspires and drives each person to create their work. I love seeing the faces behind the handcrafting. Have a great day! I posted up a video Melanie did from last year so you can get an idea of what's available. Thanks Melanie!
