It feels almost ridiculous to casually chat about shopping when we are all still processing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The realities of war make it difficult to focus on perceived trivialities. But I like to remind myself that the best way to remain useful in difficult situations is to take time to rest, reset and recharge. And if shopping gives you the daily hit of serotonin you need right now, then go for it. As it happens, there are quite a few ways for us to show our support for the people of Ukraine right now, and that includes supporting Ukrainian Etsy shops. Alongside donating to reputable organizations, flexing our shopping muscles is a great way to put money in the hands of everyday Ukrainians. Check out the link below to support these wonderful makers and artists from Ukraine. It's the least we can do! xo, Lourdes |
