Etsy Finds

A lot of people are pledging to gift hand-made this year. This means you can make gifts or buy gifts hand-made by other crafty people.

Etsy is probably the best place to find hand-made goods. I even prefer it over something like eBay because you don't have the anxiety of competing for goods in an auction. You can find everything on Etsy - from handmade letterpressed notes to vintage dresses and shoes.

Here are some quick finds I made this morning.


A Striking Flower with Feather Spikes on French Netting - Available in Ivory, White or Black - $24.99
I am fascinated with fascinators. They're making a big comeback and with having just chopped all my hair off I like girlying it up with flowers and feathers.


These felt flower barrettes for only $5.50 are a more whimsy hair accessory. This seller has a lot of other cute felt goods as well.


This poster is a must have. Made by one of my favorite bloggers makes these hand silkscreened reproductions of the vintage WWII era poster "Keep Calm & Carry On" available in some lovely colors.
I actually just read that she will be printing these in a metallic silver soon - I might have to snag one for myself.




I've been toying around with maybe picking up some basmati rice sacks and making some large pillows for our couch out of them. I found this Flour Sack Feather Pillow in Red and Chocolate Brown on Etsy for $19.50. Not quite my style but still very cool.


I once saw a wall filled with vintage letterpress type on Design Sponge and have been scouring antique stores ever since for a cheap bucket full of these. I haven't quite found them yet but this seller is offering a custom name in vintage letterpress blocks - up to 8 letters for $18.

What are some of your favorite Etsy finds? Have you ever bought or sold anything on Etsy?
