Do You ... ETSY ?

If you've never visited this new fandangled site called Etsy then you are so missing out. It's amazing to realize how many talented people that are out there who don't show their work in galleries or craft shows near where you live. And here we have the answer!

Etsy is an online community for selling handcrafted items (as well as a variety of select vintage items). Items range from keychains to jewelry; from traditional paintings to wacky out there digital art; from t-shirts to purses...there seems to be a little bit of everything on Etsy.

My Etsy store is one of the (seems like) hundreds of other jewelry stores. It's definitely hard to be seen in such a large pond, but I keep plugging away. Other categories include Accessories, Paper Goods, Woodworking, Plants & Edibles, Pets, Patterns, Knitting, Housewares, and so much more.

So, if you're looking to buy something unique, one of a kind, limited edition, and handmade Etsy is your place. After all, Mother's Day will be here before you know it. Get her something no one else has!

And if you are a crafty type of person, open a shop. It takes work (nothing worth having is easy!) but it's definitely worth the effort.
