Sometimes we want to get our holiday shopping done while sitting in our pj’s, but how do you do this and still support local shopping?

Well, it turns out that many local crafters and artists are on Etsy, a site set up for people to build online shops to sell ‘all things handmade’.

Some of our picks:

Noon To Two - Canajoharie

A mother of four focusing on yarn work out of Canajoharie, NY. Her shop contains fingerless mittens, hats, scarfs, and our pick, the Sugar and Cream Coffee Cozy.

She also has a shop set up for her other items, such as embroidered onesies and aprons, called JustSewIt.

Generations Farms - Amsterdam

Generations Farms of Amsterdam has a wide selection of handmade jewelry from pearl neclaces to stone and crystal pendants and vintage-inspired earrings, and our pick, the feather earrings.

Generations Farms is convo and trade friendly, and accepts custom and orders and special requests (but contact soon for Christmas… tick tock, tick tock…)
