Etsy

Favorite crafty thing of the day:



"Feltris Blocks" sold by theconnor on Etsy


Everyone should know Etsy. I can't figure out why it isn't a household name (in upscale, trendy, cultured houses). Etsy is an online shop where artists and crafters can sell their wares. It's not an auction site like Ebay, and it's super user friendly. Items are organized by category, seller, and even materials used. It's the perfect place to find handmade, one-of-a-kind, looks-like-it-came-from-a-boutique, exquisitely crafted items.

But for now, the site suffers in oblivion. There are plenty of people selling their stuff, but not as many who are buying. For shame. Go there now.
