Oh Etsy, how I love you.

We all know about the amazing site, Etsy.com - "your place to buy and sell homemade"...

I don't do a ton of shopping online, but lately I've become oh, just a tad bit obsessed with Etsy. I've scoured the site for a year now looking at the fabulous handmade items, but only recently have I began making purchases. {helloooo Christmas presents}

How can you not LOVE these adorable items? Etsy gives creative crafters a chance to display/sell their work and gives a lot of stay at home moms a great source of income. It also inspires me to be more "crafty", but don't look for me to set up shop on Etsy anytime soon - my craft time consists of maybe an hour a month at this rate :(

There are so many cool stationary shops on Etsy, such as Pink Lilly Press. I've gotten some really unique stationary from Etsy shops.

Household Words Monogram Wall Decals. I got this one for our master bathroom and it was only $19.00.


Shealynn B's handmade fabric camera strap covers. I can't wait to use this next year when I'm busy photographing lots of weddings. Seriously, why didn't I think of these? How neat!

Sandi Henderson Fabric Collection on FabricWorm's Etsy site {or www.fabricworm.com} When I DO learn to sew {oh, it's on the agenda for 2010} , these fun fabrics will be a must!

So head on over to Etsy.com and check out all the unique items that make great Christmas gifts. I always try to look for local Etsy shops too - there are lots of awesome ones from right here in SC.

Happy shopping!
