I love Etsy. I spend far too much time digging around on the site adding things to my wish list. You probably know that Etsy shops are required to sell either vintage items, handmade goods, or craft supplies, so I appreciate that everything I buy has a story. As you might imagine, I'm particularly interested in the clothing, shoes, bags, and jewelry, and I like the idea that I won't walk around town and see other folks wearing the pieces that I spy/buy. Here are a few things on my current (ever-growing) wish list:
If you wear a size 7.5, pick up these bad boys for $35!! You will be complimented.
This shop owner,
Lirola, makes beautiful, comfortable, flowy, feminine clothing! You can order pre-determined sizes that are often ready to ship, or for a little extra, she will do custom sizing based on your measurements. She has lots of great feedback, and I will be ordering something soon!
There are so many great vintage bags on Etsy. I think that this kind of bag looks best a little "used".
This is the kind of slip that you actually want peeking out from under your skirt! So summery and sweet.
Another reason I love Etsy is that you can search for and support local artists. I actually didn't use that specific search method to find the awesome women of
3 Divas Studio... I just loved their beautiful pieces, and they happen to be from Richmond. I have purchased several things from them, and they have been kind enough to donate items to the silent auction at my son's preschool for the last couple of years. I was excited to find out that they have trunk shows around town from time to time. You never know what treasures you might uncover as you add to your wish list for countless hours, right?
It's a great place to find designer-inspired pieces at lower prices. This bag costs less than half of
Clare Vivier's version! Some will argue that this is a rip-off and that, at some point, a seller's integrity and originality becomes more important than price. I will let you decide, but I'd be interested in hearing your view. I'd also love to see other great Etsy items, so let me know what your favorites are!
