OK, so I have a question for you all. If you read this blog and are therefore AWARE of the Internet, you probably have been known to shop on Etsy, purveyor of all lovely handmade items. I try to buy from Etsy as much as possible and have often shared items and sellers on this blog. However, there are so, so many sellers out there and it is just a tad overwhelming at times. Who are your favorite Etsy sellers?
Just a couple of mine are:
paloma's nest
kate szabone
little alouette
moop
zukzuk
dozi
satsuma press
skinny laminx
studio mela
bronwen
leila and ben
This list is by no means exhaustive, just a smattering of the things I like: children's items, letterpress, linens, prints, jewelry and gift-y items for girlfriends. So steer me (and everyone else) in the direction of some other fabulous sellers or items!
I'm really glad you wrote this because every time I'm on Etsy, I find myself overwhelmed trying to search for the best shops. Most of the ones I've visited were on the recommendation from someone else.
ReplyDeleteOh I adore Etsy and also try to buy my gifts there.

I recently looked at my purchases history on Esty. it was shocking. but seriously, it is the BEST right? i am in complete agreement with your support of independent crafty peeps. and, of course, i love all the shops you listed.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'd do without Etsy... go to a mall?!?! Yuck. I try to shop on Etsy as much as possible. I love:

Actually, you can see all my etsy faves here: http://www.etsy.com/favorite_sellers_public.php?user_id=5662390
I always go through other people's favorites on Etsy - it's a lot easier than trying to weed through the thousands of stores on your own!

Etsy is great... and overwhelming! I shop AND sell on there and realize it takes so much time to look through everything that pops up in a search. I have too many favorites to mention, lol!
