Etsy has a wealth of talent, much of which constantly reminds me that I have far, far to go. Treasuries are a great way to promote, but hard to get - there is a very high demand and lean supply. Adding to the rich tapestry is an Etsy team called "Artists of Color", whose work is so vast that it would take several treasuries to even scratch the surface.

So, until I land a treasury, or perhaps instead of, I've decided to showcase several shops here. I can't think of a better way to add valuable material to my fledgeling site. Please join me in paying tribute to the abundant contributions that this marvelous race has given our nation in celebration of February, Black History Month!
