I first discovered Etsy a few months ago. I thought it was interesting, but was too busy to really think about it. This past weekend, our friend Steve was talking about some jewelry on Etsy. It sounded vaguely familiar, but no bells went off. Today I was looking at my Firefox bookmarks and I saw Etsy there... Hmm... I thought, I should look at the site again.
OMG! It is so great. Everything on the site is handcrafted. And the product offerings are so vast. What's more, the site is set up beautifully with tons of ways to navigate. Do you know you are looking for something that is chartreuse? Etsy can help you, just Shop by Color. Want to buy local? Use the Shop Local link and enter your locale. Want to look at things randomly, then use Pounce!. In addition to the innovative search methods, the tried and true Categories (like Accessories, Art, Bags and Purses, etc...) exist along with a search utility.
There is so much on the site that if you don't have a clue what you want, starting out can be difficult. If you find that to be the case, try using the Gift Guides. There are lots of ideas to get you started in your search for the handmade. Check it out and let me know what you think!
