What an amazing place. I knew that this would be something I wish we had here in LA. Hmmmm. This is Etsy's headquaters in Brooklyn, NY. I made the most of my carbon footprint by stopping by during my time in NY last week. This is also the home of their lab, where for $20 a month you can "make" all day long. It's amazing because they have the tools, the space, the materials, the know how, the company, the best attitudes - all the things you need to make a little handmade business work and take it to levels that will actually make you a living. Okay, who's going to start this here!? I'm determined to start with "make" night if anyone is interested. I know it's hard to get people together, but I also know that we all have these ideas that have been lingering in our heads and just need to be made!!In the photos by the way, are the wonderful people I met - (l-r) Julie, Mary, Danielle, and Michelle. Danielle just moved to Brooklyn from Michigan and now works for Etsy after starting her whole local movement in a basement of a local church!

Ooh, I have an email in my drafts box writing the crafty girls I know about getting together for crafting fun and your name is on it. Let's do it!
Most definitely!
