Two-and-a-half years ago I got a random idea to start a blog. At almost exactly the same time, Karen got the same idea. I don't know how we newbies found each other, but we did, and I think we were one of each others' very first commenters. I've read her ever since.
Karen is an accomplished seamstress (I want to sew like this when I grow up!). She and her friend Kate have opened up Bon*Bons, an Etsy shop that will knock your socks off. Look at this stuff:
This Coffee Cuff may be my favorite (too bad I don't drink coffee!) It's only $5--what a fun, inexpensive and eco-friendly birthday gift for a friend:

Head over to Karen's shop. You will be so impressed by the quality and the prices. I'm becoming a bigger fan of Etsy everyday--it is so satisfying to shop for things handmade by enterprising moms!
