My Etsy Shop is now open!!

For those of you who have not yet heard of Etsy, it’s a site where folks can buy and sell handmade and vintage items and supplies. I love it! It’s just a fun place to shop around and I’m always happy with the purchases I make there. It’s great that there is an outlet (besides craft fairs) where a community of people can come together and create things you can’t find in a store. The items are unique and thoughtful and made by someone’s own hands. Go there!
As for me, in my last post I said that I was go to start creating rosaries. I was inspired to do so a couple of months ago when I saw some very beautiful rosaries up for auction at a Catholic school fundraiser. We have a few rosaries in our house, but they are mostly cheap-looking plastic things. Not that a rosary needs to be particularly beautiful or expensive; it is really just a tool used for prayer. But there’s no rule saying a rosary can’t be beautiful and functional.
Anyway, I started a few weeks ago with making my son a birthstone rosary for his birthday and since then I’ve become sort of addicted to it. Hopefully, Etsy can help support my addiction and maybe I’ll do a craft show or two this summer. That might be fun. I’m also making bookmarks and I’ll be adding some rosary bracelets and chaplets soon. And who knows? Maybe I’ll branch out into earrings and some secular stuff down the road. For now, here’s my shop. Let me know what you think! ; )
