THIS is what Etsy is good at!
I just ordered a lovely necklace from this Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5192804
Well actually A bought it for me, but I had to do the actual purchasing - of course :/
Anyway, it's partly for me and partly for one of the photoshoots. What persuaded me to buy from this guy is that the proceeds go directly to buy materials for the project he runs. He holds jewellery making classes for cancer patients. He started when he was ill himself to pass the time during hospital visits, then started showing other people how to do and now runs regular classes. Read his profile, as he of course explains it far better than I could.
I just had a lovely mail from him thanking me for my purchase. What a pleasure to not only buy a lovely piece of jewellery from such a friendly seller, but also support a great project!
