I know not everyone has disposal income during these difficult times incomes. Some people are struggling to to pay rent or make ends meet. But if you have the means, and were doing some online shopping during this time of #SocialDistancing, consider checking out and supporting some small businesses on Etsy.

Etsy has an absolutely fantastic round up of products linked here: #StandWithSmall. And let’s just sat that I’m drooling all over them. (This quarantine life has me wanting redecorate). This had me wanting to share my own round up, narrowing down the scope a bit. This one being for Black Owned Canadian Etsy sellers.
