For the Love of Etsy

I’m not sure exactly when I discovered Etsy - but when I did, craft shows/fairs took on a whole new meaning. In the past I’ve attended craft fairs large and small - some where full of handmade scarves, felted hats, handmade cards and soaps and others were a mixture of the handmade and direct sales. It was fun to walk by a table with a short Christmas tree full of handmade ornaments and then next stop at a direct sales basket company table.

Etsy made the craft fair come to me. It made me happy to see so many wonderful, beautiful things all in one spot. And I could shop by color! And save my favorites! And look at what others recommended!

I love shopping Etsy though there are a few things I’d love to have added, strictly from a business owners perspective. If we can skip that for the time being, I just wanted to draw attention to a few of my favorites.

These are all items I have marked as a favorite in etsy. If you buy what I love, I’m not sure we can be crafty friends anymore. Okay, I’m kidding, but in all serious-ness - how awesome are these things! I favorite items depending on what I am looking for. Lately I’ve been looking for something to wear with a dress I plan on wearing when my husband graduates in a few weeks. I’ve bought a couple of items hoping they will match, but if not it’s okay too.

I know you have etsy favorites, what are they?
