Etsy & Me - True Friends

Rope bangle A ///  Turquoise, Pink and Coral 

I was introduced to Etsy more than 5 years ago by a friend who was selling her artwork on the site. From them on, I have been hooked. 

At first, I thought that I would get in on the DIY craze and start crafting for sale, but in the end, I just decided to do my shopping there instead...you know, keeping it light and fun for me as all shopping should be. Am I right?

Besides all of the great products/options available on this site, I love that buying from an artist on Etsy always feels like I'm supporting "local". Does that makes sense? Homemade goods from people trying to make an honest living just seems right. I guess that feeling is partially responsible for my daily stalking habits of the site.

What are some of your favorite shops? I'd love to get introduced to more of them for future present opportunities!
