Etsy....

Or "art porn" as Liz would call it.  After discovering Etsy you will never again have any trouble finding something fantastic to spruce up your home, a gift for a special friend, or a unique, one of a kind accessory to add to your collection.  This is an amazing website where you can buy and sell all things homemade or vintage.  Art, clothing, toys, candles, jewelry, the list goes on and on.  Each artist/seller has a page that is referred to as their "shop".  It is so easy to get sucked into Etsy world and just move from shop to shop, adding things to your "favorites" along the way. 

Check out some of my recent purchases.

Chella's Collection

I love having a vintage map of Holland, cut from a 1950's atlas, around my neck to help me feel close to home.  This pendant was only $18.  What a steal!!!

LaurenElaineDesigns

I asked Lauren to custom stamp a bracelet for me with the words "be here" stamped on the outside, as a reminder to live in the moment.  You can request any words, any font, and even have something stamped on the inside.  Mine has a hidden message....shhhhh.  This custom bracelet cost $6.95!!! 

Mignonne Handmade

Lastly, I have to mention my wonderful friend, Jenn Wood, who is an incredibly talented, local artist who sells all of her pieces through Etsy.  You must stop by her shop, Mignonne Handmade!
