So I went on Etsy to check out some of my favorite shops. I just realized that some of them are from Russia and Ukraine and they are all closed. 😭 That really sucks. I hope that they will be able to open up again someday and I hope that the shop owners are ok.
One of them in particular used to make these really cute stuffed animals I used to get for my son. I think that was the only source of income that shop owner was able to get through Etsy.
Some Ukrainian sellers on Etsy are selling digital downloads. I’ve bought from a few. They obviously haven’t been able to make/sell products but are very appreciative.
Thank you for letting me know. I will look into that!
There is a Ukrainian bakery I haven’t been to yet in person, it’s about an hour away from me but I’m thinking about going there this week and buying a couple of things from there. I think they may have donations to do as well in person.
Hopefully they are all okay.
