<p style="text-align: justify;">Let me introduce you to The <a href="http://transcanadaetsyteam.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Trans Canada Etsy Team</a>&#8230;your number one source for Canadian Fabulous-ness on Etsy!  I have never seen a bunch of folks who work so tirelessly promoting a group of Etsiers than this one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let me start by telling you a bit about their Team Canada Etsy store:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5343947" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2360" title="shop" src="http://indienorth.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/shop.jpg" alt="shop" width="432" height="346" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A beautiful shop featuring products from some of the awesome members of the team.  It&#8217;s here you can also find these awesome <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5343947&amp;section_id=5333737" target="_blank">goodie bags</a>:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5343947&amp;section_id=5333737" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2361" title="goodies" src="http://indienorth.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/goodies.jpg" alt="goodies" width="432" height="290" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These are excellent selections of goodies donated by members and sold at an awesome price!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If the store weren&#8217;t enough, <a href="http://transcanadaetsyteam.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Trans Canada Etsy Team</a> also keeps it&#8217;s own <a href="http://transcanadaetsyteam.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">team blog</a>, which I just love:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2362" title="Image2" src="http://indienorth.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Image2.jpg" alt="Image2" width="432" height="346" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It features information &amp; profiles on team  members, special promotions &amp; sales, and their new Monthly Challenge:  Each month, a challenge is issued and team members will submit a handmade entry that relates to the theme in some way. When the challenge closes, everyone will have an opportunity to vote for the entry that they think best represents the theme.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The theme this month is Autumn, and voting will begin on September 25, so come by then and vote for your favorite handmade, Canadian autumn creation!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides their shop and their store, you can follow the Trans-Canada Etsy Team on Twitter, to keep up to date with all their fabulous goings on!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">www.twitter.com/transcanadaetsy</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So go check &#8216;em out!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A great big thank you to the Trans-Canada Etsy Team for being our Rockstar Sponsor for the month of September.  You support is so very appreciated!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The weather is finally, <em>finally </em>turning, and with the nice weather I&#8217;m on the lookout for treasures to enjoys outdoors.  I am really loving these Rustic Bamboo Windchimes, from the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25450421" target="_blank">jewelzodonnell</a> etsy site.</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p>A wonderfully mellow sounding handmade bamboo windchimes with a polymer clay clapper.</p>
<p>First I took a long piece of bamboo cane and cut it into sections of various sizes. Then I cut out pieces of each one, making it into a reed-shaped chime. I sanded them and drilled holes in the top to thread the black satin cord through. The cords went through holes drilled in the 4.5 inch hardwood circle, and then tied to a 1.25 inch metal ring.</p>
<p>The center piece has a polymer clay clapper (also handmade by me) and a piece of bamboo at the bottom to catch the breeze.</p>
<p>The longest of the five bamboo chimes is 11 inches long, the shortest one is 7 inches long. In total, the windchimes are 29 inches long from the top of the metal ring to the bottom of the longes windchime.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ahhhhhh.  Just the description sounds relaxing!  I&#8217;m really looking forward to seeing more of Julie&#8217;s windchimes as she adds them to her shop!</p>
