A Road Trip Through ‘Shop Local

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.

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

Cool idea to do an Etsy roadtrip.
