About Me:

Hello! Thanks for visiting our page. We're relatively new to Etsy but we've already succumbed to addiction. If I could stop buying things from all of the incredible artists and diy'ers, we'd be better able to deal with the addiction. For now we're just accepting it. My name is Karessa, and I'm an Etsyholic. ☺

We are environmentally focused. We like to repurpose things that are attractive and fun but are normally tossed out without a second glance. In other words, we love to use packaging and other odds and ends to make extraordinary notebooks!

Hmmm...what else? Oh, yes! Some of our best friends are worms. Hey, don't knock it! Worms are just about the most fundamentally beneficial organisms on the planet. We especially love them because they make the richest, most natural and effective compost ever! We'd be happy to share some of the compost from our worm farm with you.

It sounds awful weird to follow up the worm paragraph with something about food, but we love our food almost as much as we love our worms, so there's no leaving it out. We enjoy sharing our sourdough starter and homemade apple butter from our non-spray trees. Want some? Please inquire. ☺

Etsy Favorites

♥ Madaleine, oh Madaleine! How didst thou come upon such beauteous talent at such a tender age?

♥ I am head over heels for Simplebasic's skin care products. They work, they're a pleasure to use, and they're not harmful to people, dogs, worms, or anything else!

♥ BelleAndBoo, we love you!

♥ We covet Strangelings weird and fantastic art.

But I'm confused. Did I favorite you first or did you find me and heart me first? ...I've been looking around at so many new etsy sites...

At 9:04am on March 27, 2008, Jennifer said…: Sure! I'll take them off of your hands. I used to love backgammon pieces when I was a little girl. I remember having a taste of a couple of them. I was always chewing on things back then, lol! I promise that I've grown out of that now :-)

Maybe we could trade. I have some cereal boxes that maybe you could use for your awesome notebooks. I'll convo you with my address and you can do the same if you'd like them!
