Buy Handmade!

Monday, November 26, 2007

This year for Christmas, I hope to either make our Christmas presents or buy handmade from Etsy. So I have been searching Etsy for some cool gifts. I've found some great things that I can combine with something I made to make an extra special gift. Here are a few of my favorites... but I just don't have that perfect person to give them to (or I can't afford them). Click on the pictures to be taken directly to their Etsy listing.

Win! Win!

Today my son was inspired. I was working on beefing up the World of Whimm store with more crowns and he was drawing his dinosaurs. Then he decided they needed to be cut out of fabric. From there it all snow balled into the pictured grocery bag. I'm not sure if the Etsy buyers are going to like it. But I love it! Unfortunately, I can't buy it and use it without my son knowing.

The idea behind this bag is to help him earn his own money for Disneyworld in December. I thought it was a great idea. Not only does he learn several valuable lessons... but I got a chance to try making a grocery bag!

I love the idea of bringing your own bags to carry home your groceries. I also love the idea of using materials that otherwise would have been thrown away.

Please click on the picture to check out the listing. I'm hoping he and I can make more of these. It was fun collaborating with my creative little boy.

By the way, this bag depicts an Allosaurus.
