A Road Trip Through ‘Shop Local

June 18, 2010 by persimondreams 2 Comments

I just returned from a fantastic trip to Chesapeake, VA, to visit my sister-in-law.  We had a great time at the beach and catching up.  The only downside was the 20 hour ride there and back – with a 2 and 3 year old!  I decided I would like to take a ‘Road Trip’ with some of the etsians from the cities we traveled through on our journey.  I used etsy’s nifty ‘Shop Local’ tool to help me come up with my finds.  Our journey started in good old Madison, WI. baretree Military style Khaki color Bare Tree Apparel Old School Penny Farthing Bike Messenger Bag from BareTree Apparel.   Due to an unexpected missed exit I woke up to find we were in Chicago, IL,  instead of going around… bethtastic Chicago, Illinois pendant and necklace – The 50 states project from bethtastic.   Potty break in Cincinnati, OH… moonforest Small Fairy Doll – waldorf inspired art doll from moonforest   Lunch in Grayson, KT stringthing Hand dyed Superwash Merino Roving Melted Crayons from stringthing   Slept over in Charleston, WV. daisybones O My Mountain People- Digital Art Open Edition 8X10 Print from daisybones   Fantastic vacation in Chesapeake, VA. imogensgarden You Tell Me a custom Snuggle doll for Shipment in June 2010 from ImogensGarden   After a fantastic couple of days with beautiful weather and fun and the beach and pool it was time to head back home…   Left crazy early (3:15am) from Chesapeake, VA. jperegrine inner states/dreams and imagination mixed media collage from jperegrine   Time to turn around and head back.  Potty break in Roanoke, VA shoptheNEST Totally Repurposed Tie Transfered dyed scarf from shoptheNEST   Stopped for brunch in Huntington, WV (yes, we left EARLY). StephanieFizer Bookish Owl Too Notepad To Do List from StephanieFizer   Stayed over in Indianapolis, IN and weathered crazy thunderstorms and Tornado Warnings.  goulash Beatnik Sweater XS/S – Vintage Flair from Goulash   Did not take a wrong turn on the way home and went through Bloomington, IL.

    We go to Virginia Beach pretty much once a year to vacation, love that area.

    Cool idea to do an Etsy roadtrip.
