Etsy Treasury-- Greensboro, NC Artists

Happy hump day, Piedmont Triad! I've curated a bright and colorful treasury just to get you through this gloomy, rainy day. All handmade by artists from Greensboro (well... the retro needlepoint is technically being sold as vintage, but it was handmade by somebody-- and I love it so I couldn't leave it out!) Enjoy, and shop locally!

Always do your best to shop locally!
