Phew, what an adventure it has been. I learned so much about the United States and had a great time "meeting" the different Etsy shop owners that I featured. I posted 321 posts and featured 1,202 items on my blog. In choosing those items, I "vetted" each shop owner. I always looked for shops that were U.S. shops and had 5 star ratings. I looked at the content of the shop and read the owner's profile if provided. I tried to choose shops that did all the "work" themselves or within "house", which became harder as Etsy grew! I tried not feature the same shop more than once, but did a couple of times. So many of the shop owners responded to the emails I sent, notifying them of their feature. Their responses were kind, sincere and motivating.</p><p> My work here is done! Thank you for taking this journey with me. I will be starting a new blog, featuring Etsy items with man (and woman's) best friends! Until then...</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.etsystatic.com/22014362/d/il/a1e9c7/2520912333/il_340x270.2520912333_o88u.jpg?version=0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="340" src="https://i.etsystatic.com/22014362/d/il/a1e9c7/2520912333/il_340x270.2520912333_o88u.jpg?version=0" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://tinyurl.com/cusbjytd" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/cusbjytd</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.etsystatic.com/5964924/d/il/e16aa8/2207549732/il_340x270.2207549732_3jok.jpg?version=0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="340" src="https://i.etsystatic.com/5964924/d/il/e16aa8/2207549732/il_340x270.2207549732_3jok.jpg?version=0" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://tinyurl.com/455z6kmh" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/455z6kmh</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.etsystatic.com/11252075/d/il/55aa60/1116558479/il_340x270.1116558479_uf9a.jpg?version=0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="340" src="https://i.etsystatic.com/11252075/d/il/55aa60/1116558479/il_340x270.1116558479_uf9a.jpg?version=0" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://tinyurl.com/pr2srtwx" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/pr2srtwx</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.etsystatic.com/25004159/c/1712/1141/0/0/il/d30703/2944568127/il_340x270.2944568127_41zt.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="340" src="https://i.etsystatic.com/25004159/c/1712/1141/0/0/il/d30703/2944568127/il_340x270.2944568127_41zt.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://tinyurl.com/ykavm7sw" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/ykavm7sw</a></div>Cindy Waeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16937230395379325019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448048195551077291.post-14262661253676186622021-05-10T09:47:00.001-04:002021-05-10T09:47:52.726-04:00<p> <b>Wyoming "Person of Interest"</b></p><p>William Frederick Cody aka "Buffalo Bill Cody" was born in Le Claire, Iowa on February 26, 1846.
