Today’s mother’s day in Slovenia and while unrelated to art it got me thinking about our ability to do what we do. 

Without a mom, we obviously wouldn’t be able to exist, but there is a bigger, more universal provider that also has an enormous part to play in our ability to work in the creative field. Without the enormous advances in our society — both technological and social — our ability to live off selling anything on Etsy (even the existence of Etsy itself) would’ve been impossible to imagine.
