If you are thinking to yourself right now ‘what’s Etsy?’ then I promise you you are missing out!!
Etsy is a fantastic free online marketplace where you can Buy/Sell items in the following categories:
- Vintage
- Handmade
- Supplies
What does that mean for you the consumer? It means you’ll have hundreds of thousands of kitschy, adorable, funky, artsy items to browse and buy. I mean, I could literally spend days without sleeping on Etsy.
Post some of the links to your favorite items in the comments section!
My favorite artist: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ContemporaryEarthArt I’ve purchased a few paintings from her, they are to die for!
I LOVE Etsy!!!!

I love Etsy! For the past few years I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping on there haha. I don’t remember the shop names, but I’ve found some lovely holiday earrings and gift tags.
My mom, sister and I recently started a little shop on Etsy with some some Twilight themed jewelry. Our shop is: http://www.etsy.com/shop/bellabenda (I hope it’s okay to post the link here)
@Isabella: Absolutely! 🙂
:O “forks” earrings! that’s awesome haha
I absolutely love Etsy! I’ve purchased many old maps, custom art, jewelry and photographs from the site. To name a few of my personal faves:

Can you post the link to the shop that has that melted crayon piece of art you showed?? I LOVE it!! Thanks!!
@Brenda: for sure!
there are many of them, here is the general search: http://www.etsy.com/search/handmade?q=crayon+art&view_type=gallery&ship_to=Canada
my BF and I were inpired and made one ourselves and we love it!!
@bub: okay, how in the world were you able to make something like that? I came on here to ask the same question as Brenda; but I would love trying to make one myself. How did you do it?
the one posted i found at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/JKCreate
We bought a canvas, crayons, super glue and a hairdryer and were all set!! 🙂
patiently glued down the crayons one by one … and started melting with the hair dryer … you can’t really go wrong!
was a cheap project too – canvas about $10, crayons $5 and glue $3

Etsy is not good for the old visa card so i try to stay away!
@mommyoftwo, that’s gorgeous!
<3 Etsy!
wow some awesome links posted!! 🙂
Wow, what a site! What a find! I’m still mesmerized by all the ceramics and pottery and great prices too! I dabbled in ceramics and pottery years ago and highly recomend it. It’s a great hobby and pretty relaxing.Well I guess if anyone is looking for me they will find me on the ceramic and pottery page for a few days anyways. Thanks a bunch for the posting “Itsjustmebub” ! Appreciate it!
Cheers Bigal
@Bigal so glad you liked it! it really IS terrible how addictive it is lol … have fun and see you when you come up for air! 😛
Love Etsy! Just like bub, I can stay on there for days straight. Perhaps I need a life, but perhaps I just like handmade wares.
I don’t Etsy, but I see a lot of Etsy stuff on Pinterest. Including various cool crafts like this and how to make it yourself.
errrrrrrr LOOOOVE these vintage inspired bathingsuits!!!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/FablesbyBarrie
Oh man, I LOVE Etsy. I actually have to force myself to stay away from there, or I will end up browsing for hours and bookmarking dozens of things that I want to purchase. I think my favorite thing to buy from Etsy is jewelery, because it’s all handmade, unique, and generally you can get some great deals.
What a crazyrandomhappenstance, I’m preparing to start an etsy shop next week. I’m also setting my sister up with one to sell her original artwork.
