Dear Santa - Part 3

Why should kids only get to write letters to Santa? Here at EtsyNJ, we realize that the elves are backed up, so we'd like to suggest that Santa visit Etsy.com and pick up a few things for the grown-ups!

Kitty from Heart of Nature has been eyeing these Peace cards by SusanItkinBatik

Visit Heart of Nature for fine art nature photography and greeting cards

Tracy from the Tote Trove loves this print from Orange Slice Art, because it's graphic with lots of color.

Check out the Tote Trove for one of a kind hand painted totes and check out her blog for an awesome holiday giveaway!
