Etsy ::shiny-thing of the day::

This holiday season, won't you skip the mall and buy handmade indie gifts instead?
For one-stop shopping check out Etsy.com. You'll find jewelry, clothing, toys, household items, candles, and even stuff for your pet.



Oh, you can also sell YOUR handmade stuff there too!

Ideal Bite ::shiny-thing of the day::

Ideal Bite is a weekday e-newsletter that sends you a simple eco-tip for earth friendly living. The writing is down to earth and decidedly un-preachy. I've been a "Biter" for a few months and look forward to the tip in my inbox at the beginning of each work day. There's even a "Tip Library" of past issues that's searchable or browsable by category. Each tips includes additional links for more information or related shopping. My favorites are the tips that feature food or health & beauty!
