Local Knitter Opens Shop on Etsy.com

Now appearing on Etsy.com – locally made hand-knit yarmulkas

After years of making beautifully handcrafted gifts for family, friends and charity, local Brenda Barry has decided to take her hobby to a whole new level. 

I’m happy to announce that Brenda’s shop is now open for business.  You can find her at www.etsy.com/shop/beautifulyarmulkas.

In case you’re not familiar with Etsy.com, it’s the premier website for handcrafted items.  Their mission is to “empower people to change the way the global economy works. We see a world in which very-very small businesses have much-much more sway in shaping the economy, local living economies are thriving everywhere, and people value authorship and provenance as much as price and convenience. We are bringing heart to commerce and making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more fun.”  Very cool!
