I recently ordered my first item from Etsy. When it finally came in the mail, it was beautifully wrapped in a brown paper envelope and twine with printed cloth label that had a key attached… and it came from Ireland. What? Ireland? I was surprised. I had not really paid attention to where it was coming from. There was no excessive [Read more...]
