Hi. My name is Donna and I live in. Pennsylvania. Last year about this time I decided to retire from my job as a medical transcriber at the local hospital. I had worked there for 43 years. While I was contemplating what I would be doing to occupy my time, I was approached by my nephew and his wife. They are both OTs and work in the autistic field. They also adopted an autistic child at the age of 8 (he is now 13 years old) and they just had a new baby last year. They were looking for a weighted blanket for one of their clients and asked if I could help them out. The rest is history....... They continue to offer their expertise when I have questions about the proper weight for a client. It has been the most rewarding experience of my life! So happy to offer my services to such a worthy cause. Peaceful Blessings to All.

Any words of encouragement would be much appreciated - I hope you like what i do!

Hi I'm Miriam, mother, wife, photographer, artist and retired dancer. I opened my etsy shop a few years ago, quickly lost interest b/c I didn't research promoting it and my listings just got lost in the shuffle. I have since relaunched it and have been putting the time in to promote and network this time around. I am a stay at home mom and would love to be a significant help with an income from my shop. The subject matter of my photography is generally pretty things such as dancers, flowers and landscapes. Many of my photos are meant for nurseries and children and teens. Here is a link to my shop. Cheers!

I like everything in my life to have a personal touch, and that is what I provide with my plants.

Many plant arrangements I see in brick and mortar stores lack soul. They're mass produced; the same pot with the same plants are shipped to the same stores across the country. I want my plant arrangements and terrariums to be different, so I find vintage containers, make stands and displays myself, or repurpose household items as planters. I'm always on the lookout for items to upcycle. I also like simplicity. I focus on succulent and air plants that need little maintenance, so having something pretty on your desk doesn't have to require work.

Hello, my name is Todd Myler and my 13 year old daughter came to me after the shootings in Paris and said she wanted to do something for the families of the victims. I was impressed and want to help her. We created a small company, Seek4Peace, to promote peace and love in the world. She designed the T-shirt you will see in my shop. Please check it out, fave it, buy it, and share it. We will be setting up a trust for me for scholarships for the children of the victims of violence and terrorism if we are successful. Keep an eye out for future offerings. Thanks!
