Card Pops Up on Etsy Greetings

Today I am reminded of two occasions when I received greeting cards from friends. One time was when JI graduated from college. I had a small party celebrating the event and my return from abroad. I got three of the exact same greeting card from three guests. Another time out of the blue two of my friends, who don't know each other,  sent "glad we are friends" card. The fact that they both did this at the same time was weird enough but they were also the same exact card. Very weird. The sentiments in those cards brought tears to my eyes and it reminded me that I have the best friends. Sure they were nice cards and I appreciate the sentiments but it is a shame there aren't more options out there. The world is full of so many creative people, we need to get them connected to the people who value that creativity. That is what Etsy is all about.
There are a myriad of blogs on the web these days that celebrate and promote independent art and design. EtsyGreetings is one of those blogs. 
See my "Pocket Full of Posies" card pop to life on the EtsyGreetings blog where my shop is being featured today. The EtsyGreetings blog is for card designers to showcase their work and consumers who are prefer to purchase independent goods handmade by artists and designers. I think it is proof that handmade is better than mass-produced because it is unique and made with the care and passion of a person devoted to their art form. Everyday there is a different artist devoted the the handmade greeting card being feature on EtsyGreetings. Check it out. An artist's statement appears with each feature bringing indie buyers a little closer to the creator.
