So here’s my thing.
I totally love shopping on Esty. I’m a total sucker for the whole vintage/handmade thing.
The only problem is, when I get on that blessed site I fall into a rabbit hole for like 3 hours and by the time I’m done I don’t even know what to order anymore!?
I don’t even remember what I came for in the first place!
Like tonight when I getting a new handbag started my search and I ended up finding so many fantastic things I figured I had better share…so I could say all that time on Esty I was actually just hard at work. Doing R&D for the blog…it’s a slippery slope…
I wish I was size 6 in shoes sometimes (even though I’d probably lose balance in the wind if I was…) like when I see boots like this , or when I want to try on the sample shoes without asking for help…makes me a teensy bit jealous of you tiny footed ladies
This bag makes me think it might even renew my faith in shoulder straps. And it’s gorgeous.
I haven’t been a huge wearer of blazers in the past. For reasons unknown to me I just felt frumpy in them, but I’ve been seeing some pregnant gals in them lately that are making me want to revisit that whole thing. This one for example.
I want this feather ring so bad. With my fingers rapidly growing in size, I’ll admit, it does make me feel a little claustrophobic.
And this fingerprint necklace is beautiful.
Do you guys have any favorite Etsy items or shops you would be kind enough to recommend to me?
I mean, now that the sickness has begun I might as well embrace it, right?
HAPPY HUMP DAY!
PS this might make your day.

April 23, 2014 at 4:06 amHey Cara. You should look for Sancho Boots. I love mine, and they are sooooo comfy.
And if you have “huge” feet you could try the Mens Collection … and i think there is nearly no difference between women and men that the design 🙂

April 23, 2014 at 4:46 amI have the same problem. I read somewhere when that happens fill your shopping cart and leave it for a day then go back and review it. You’ll find a lot of thing you added you don’t really want. Happy shopping 🙂

Amanda Reece
April 23, 2014 at 7:46 amI love etsy, and I find myself on there daily seeing what items are “trending” – I just recently bought a monogrammed ring dish from a shop called Oh My Word Designs. And of course I would be remiss if I didn’t recommend my own shop – Homemade in the Heartland. I do custom portraits and watercolors.
krazgrl
April 23, 2014 at 8:04 amGreat finds! Thanks fir being an enabler. ;o) My friend just had a necklace made with her grandaughter’s finger prints like the one above. What a wonderful keepsake. And quite frankly, you could wear a paper bag and look beautiful. Get the red blazer.
Amanda
April 23, 2014 at 8:09 amCara! I totally tried to contact you about my own etsy shop just a few days ago! Wow! I didn’t know you were such a fan! I have personalized art prints on there myself (www.19letters.etsy.com) but another shop I have found recently is “birdznbeez” and they sell artisan lockets. So cool. Good luck in the rabbit hole! 🙂

April 23, 2014 at 11:11 amHi Cara!! Huge fan=) I have learned so much from you already so thank you!! I have a little shop of Etsy. I opened up in January so I am slowly adding more goodies. I make lace and ruffle clothing/accessories for women and girls/babies. I have three gorgeous little ladies so I sew when I can. Mostly during nap time and after they are in bed, it is my little obsession=) Check out my shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/KowgirlLace
P.S. I know exactly what you mean…I often get on Esty to look up something and two hours later I snap back into reality and wonder how did I get here and what was I even looking for!

April 24, 2014 at 6:58 amRandom question. I’ve been following your blog for a while now and have been obsessed with Tarte tickled cheek stain since you showed it in a tutorial. Tarte has changed the package and colors do you have any recommendations for a similar color? Thanks!

April 25, 2014 at 1:06 pmI’ve been an Etsy addict for as long as I can remember. I can get lost on there for hours. I’m super excited to be able to say that I finally opened up my own shop last month. I’d be flattered and stoked if you popped by. I sell downloadable photos of flowers that’s I’ve taken in my yard. I may be a wee bit obsessed with gardening, and have been taking the pictures for years anyway, so I figured, what the hey. Stick ’em in a shop and see how it goes. I have a hallway FULL of framed flower pictures. They make me smile every time I walk by them. Here’s the link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RindyMae
Now, I must go check out some of the shops mentioned in the comments……

I have been building my own business on Etsy and was recently able to quit my last part-time job to focus on my shop, https://www.etsy.com/shop/OakdaleFarm. I make framed, hand-cut canvas maps with a hand-painted heart at your hometown, wedding location, engagement site, etc. 🙂
