After hearing about Etsy in Dec. 2008, I finally got my store up and running. At the moment I just have a few things on the virtual walls, shelves and racks. So when you come back, over and over again, you’ll see what I have added and what has been sold. So, please tell all your friends that USA Studio Originals by Bonnie Sprung is now open.
