I spent a little time today updating my Etsy Shop, so if you haven’t been by in awhile, check it out. I still have my favorite little silver star charms and various beads and components for sale, but I’m thinking of adding a few new pieces this week now that I’m on a bamboo bead kick. Speaking of Etsy, we start of this week’s list of links with a post on that very topic. Hmmm….
