"a thing of beauty..."is a blog you might want to visit

One of the great things about being a part of such things like Etsy, Flickr and a host of many other on-line groups is that you have access to some very creative minds and you can benefit from their collective knowledge. Such a thing has happened to me (this morning in fact). While perusing my one of my groups in Flickr (Etsy.com love), I stumbled across a posting from a user who calls herself "love streams". She had written a post to say she had compiled a list of what she said was 100 great artists on Etsy. Hmmm...that's quite the claim.

Having piqued my curiosity, I had to check it out. So, I did. The result... well, let just say I wasn't disappointed by her choices (blown away would better describe the effect) or her blog (more about that later). If you get a chance, please check out her blog - it's absolutely wonderful: http://www.thing-of-beauty.com/100-great-artists-etsy-you-might-want-to-visit/. The list of artists she featured is fantastic - it must have taken her quite a bit of time to find them. And let's not forget her blog - it's well written and very enjoyable to peruse.

My final plug for those of you who don't know about Flickr. Here it goes: If you haven't had a chance to check out Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/ - you should do that too! It's a photo sharing web site and a whole lot more! It will take you places you didn't know existed.
