Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

The members of Etsy Team Columbus want to extend a heartfelt greeting to our friends, peers, neighbors, fans and patrons...we wish you a very safe and happy and bountiful Thanksgiving holiday.

Also, forgive us for mentioning, when your bellies are full, you've had enough excitement and are dreading the shopping crowds...consider staying in and doing your holiday shopping ONLINE! It's stress free and super easy. We are having a fabulous giveaway of several individually crafted items from our talented teammates. Purchase ANY item from ANY of the shops listed at right...then return here and say "this is me, this is what I bought and from whom"...you will automatically be entered in the prize drawing. It's so simple! Our previous blog post indicated the promotion would run 11/25 thru 11/28, but scratch that---we're kicking it off officially a day sooner, 11/24/11.

Got a fashionista on your shopping list? Might we suggest the gorgeous crocheted flower pin pictured above from http://TheDarkatHeart.etsy.com? It's sure to be to her liking!

How about a pumpkin onesie for one of the little pumpkins you know? This one was created by http://Hounddogdesigns.etsy.com
