Etsy

What did you say? E-T-S-Y

If you like unique, handmade products you won't find on everyone else, you will enjoy this website, Etsy.com. Etsy is an online marketplace featuring Indie (Independent) designers who put their heart and soul into their work. The designers love what they do and it shows in the craftsmanship. You can find everything from paper goods to clothing to jewelry to furniture to pet supplies and more.
The owners developed the site well over a year ago, so there has been plenty of time to work out kinks and things flow smoothly now. They say they have more than 72,000 members and 18,000 sellers. With those numbers, you are sure to find something on your wish list. I bought a purse from a designer and loved it knowing there were only 2 or 3 in the world similar to mine!
