What's your fave?

OK so who doesn't love etsy.com?

In the age of so much internet garbage, etsy is the one place that I know will inspire me, re-charge my ideas and get me in the mood to create (and when the dollar is high- shop!)

Etsy is the world's most vibrant handmade marketplace. Etsy celebrates individual creativity in design and craftsmanship by connecting unique people, stories and items in a playful and meaningful way. Etsy provides a marketplace for crafters, artists and collectors to sell their handmade creations, vintage goods and crafting supplies.

And there are so many great crafts, gifts, ideas and artists waiting to inspire you on etsy!
Alejandro and I got out wedding bands from an esty seller, as did Vanessa and Brendan!
I've also gotten prints, cross stitch designs, digital images, greeting cards and much more from esty, and love to introduce others to the world of etsy!

If you don't already have an account click here to learn How to create an etsy account.

Then I am hoping that once all the bitches have accounts we can share our favourite shops and items with one another!

Shauna's etsy faves

  

I want to encourage you to start "hearting" items that catch your fancy, so that you can share them with the other gals!  It's easy to do, but here are the official how-to details from etsy.

When you find an item or shop on Etsy that you love, you can bookmark it by adding it to your Favorites or "hearting".

To heart an item/shop you must be signed in to your Etsy account. Then simply click the link that says Add this to favorites (in the right sidebar on a shop or item page).  If you're viewing search results or a shop, you can mouse over a listing's thumbnail and a heart icon will appear in the top right corner of the image.  Clicking this heart will add the item to your Favorites list without having to view the listing page.

To view your Favorites list, click the heart icon in the gray site header, visible at the top of all Etsy pages.

You can also browse the Favorites of other members by clicking the Favorites link in their Public Profiles. You can see who has hearted a certain item/shop by clicking the link that says See who hearts this item/shop (in the right sidebar on a shop or item page).

If you want to keep your Favorites private, go to Your Account > Settings > Privacy. Here you can choose to make your Favorites private or public.

Anyways, I will leave you to your browsing and hearting, and then bug you at the next Bitch & Stitch you attend to show me your favourites, and get them up on this page, so that the rest of the world can see what you love!  


 Fun!


Oh yeah, one last tip:
When you find a seller that you like, on their shop page, look at the column on the left, and you can click to see their favourties!  That's a great way to find the gems!
