WOOOOHOOOOOO!

italy has WON the handmade world cup!
after 1000+ votes, italy has claimed a momentous victory by beating out SPAIN in the final match of our round robin tournament!

congratulations to the 36 nations that played and voted!
what an amazing world of handcrafters we have!

hope you'll take a few moments to visit some of the fabulous handmaking etsy shops from italy!

you can use the *shop local* tool and search for the county:
italy

or
search for cities and towns in italy, too!

and the victory wouldn't be complete without a funfun contest winner... thanks to random.org, the $30 shopping spree to ANY ITALIAN etsy shop goes to.....
