One of my favorite way to support small businesses (other than local businesses) is to shop on Etsy. I can find something handmade (often customized!), have it mailed to my door, AND support small businesses, all at the same time! Can't beat that! In honor of Small Business Saturday, I'd like to share a few of my favorite Etsy shops.

Can Do Kiddo | As I mentioned in my post earlier today, Rachel Coley is a pediatric occupational therapist who has used her knowledge as both a new mom and an occupational therapist to create activity play mat quilts for babies. These quilts are awesome and would make a great gift for the new mom or baby in your life!Update: The Inspired Treehouse put together a similar list with their favorite Etsy shops.
