Etsy Store and Facebook Page

I have been on a pretty good groove restocking my ETSY STORE with new art and a few pieces that I brought over to Hawaii with me and need to let go of to make room for all the new stuff that is in the almost done stages. Take a look you might see something you like! Also, if you didn't know I now have a dedicated Facebook Chongolio Page. Some blink on over and if you are into it click the like button.
