I’m a Proud Etsy.com Buyer (and Seller)

I love to shop, especially online. My favorite place to shop is Etsy.com. Etsy.com is a website that allows individual artists/crafters from around the world to sell their handmade creations in their own Etsy shop. I’m one of these people. I have a shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=28051, in which I sell my handmade beaded jewelry. But the reason I’m writing this blog is not to advertise my shop, but to expound on the many other wonderful shops I’ve made purchases from. I have actually purchased a total of 50 items from various Etsy shops and have only sold 10 items in my shop. I have purchased clothing and toys for my grandchildren, gifts, décor items for my home, and handmade and commercial beading supplies. You will not be able to find any items you purchase from Etsy shops in commercial stores; everything sold on Etsy is handmade and, most of the time, one-of-a-kind.
Here are a few links to some of the shops I’ve purchased from:
