Website Wednesday - Etsy

Today marks the 1st week of Website Wednesday. Some of the blogs I read incorporate a weekly post topic such as miscellaneous Monday, Friday giveaways, etc. I've decided to do Website Wednesday's. Basically, every Wednesday I'll post about a website that I like that you may or not know about. Some may be photography related (for all my photog readers) while others may be about randow cool stuff. So don't forget to make sure you stop by on Wednesday's for a new fun site to surf.


I can easily say that one of my favorite sites by far in all of the internet is etsy. And if you don't know what etsy is, immediately go there and check it out.

I actually thought that everyone knew what etsy was. I figured, you know ebay, you must know etsy right?! Yesterday I found out that was not the case when talking to a past client/new friend about this really cute necklace I found on there. So I figured I'd post about it for those that may not have discovered this little gem of a site.

Etsy is an online marketplace for buying & selling all things handmade. You can find some of the coolest things on there like bags & purses, candles, ceramic art, TONS of stuff for children, clothing, jewelry, knitted goods, stationary, soaps, things for your pets, things for your electronic gadgets, you name it.

What's also cool about it is that there are a number of different ways you can shop. There's a gift guide which sorts items in different categories such as who your buying for, what the occasion is, what are they into or what time of year it is.
There's also a color tool where you pick a color and it narrows down your search to items only in that color range. Very cool if your searching for accessries to match an outfit or home goods to match your current decor.

I have a TON of favorite stores on there, too many to name actually, but here's a few that I've purchased from recently:

New laptop sleeve for my Macbook Air

Kids superhero capes

THE cutest little girl aprons

Babylegs!

The best kids hats I've found on there

What are some of your favorite stores?

In a couple of weeks, I hope you all add MY STORE to your list of favorites. Check back for more on that...Happy Shopping!
