D.I.Y. -- the antidote to the shopping mall & corporate buying

looking for creative, reasonably priced handmade and lovely gifts? look no further than http://www.buyolympia.com/! check out the wallets, bags, jewelry, tee-shirts, notecards (send a letter, it's more romantic than an email or text message!), calendars, pins and more...

after a brief but inspired visit to olympia, wa on the way to seattle to visit friends, i found this website. buyolympia's founders wanted a way to help their friends "sell their awesome handmade crafts online, and have since grown to have a lot more friends from all over world."

one of my favorite purchases: a "Reading is Sexy" sticker. so... forget the jersey malls (ICK!) and bypass the overpriced, snobby manhattan boutiques... shop buyolympia and support the creative source!
