BESTeam Feature: Making Up For Lost Time

I must apologize to my BESTeam team mates.  I've been MIA for the past 12 days or so and I've neglected my feature obligations.  It's not that I haven't been thinking about my BESTie friends - it's just that I was busy admiring the crashing waves of the Pacific, shielding my midwest-winter-weakened eyes from the glare of the sun, strolling around a chic ocean town, wandering into shops that I had no business walking into, pondering where my next meal or soy mocha was going to come from...you can see the strain I was under.  But all the while I had my next BESTeam feature in the back of my mind.  So without further ado, I present three talented artisans with three beautiful and unique Etsy shops.

As part of my BESTeam commitment, throughout the month I will be posting short features of several of the fabulous shops and talented artisans who comprise the team.  What is BESTeam?  It's The Boosting Etsy Shops Team and our goal is to give support to each other and to help promote each others' Etsy shops through blogging, Facebook and other social networks.  If you are an Etsy shopowner and are interested in learning more about BESTeam, please visit the team page on Etsy or have a look at the BESTeam blog.
