Actually it’s been a year I’ve known this website and bookmarked it somewhere in my del.icio.us account. At first, I was never really attracted by getting more in depth in the catalog, so this site would have been lost forever in my long long list of stores. Until I recently was particularly looking for sachets of lavender I could put in my drawers with my clothes and in the drying machine. I’ve been missing the scent of my clothes since I’m in the city. My mother and grand’ ma used this technique to create a beautiful scent around our clothes. A classic and green way to smell fresh and clean every morning.
Somehow I had a flashback, Etsy came to my mind as I’ve always remembered seeing these lavender bags on the homepage the first time I’ve visited the website. And happy I was to find tons of beautiful handcrafted bags of lavender. Not crappy lavender but real, harvested and dried lavender. No industrial sachets but sewed bags with cute leftover fabrics. Ok, I could not resist to buy them! Impulsively I’ve bought 12 of them from 2 different sellers. While I was shopping from both crafters, I was actually talking to them directly. How surprised I was to speak with real people. They were absolutely nice and sweet, very helpful in selecting for me their best items with my favorite colors.
The more I visit the site and the items that it offers, the more I fall in love. There are so many absolutely amazing products. All handmade from creative minds. The community is growing as I speak and I truly invite you to get on the website and help these real crafters by buying their products.
