Style Journal: Etsy a Community of Artist

Etsy an online shop community, think Ebay but no bidding, a lot more personal, and remove all the junk (well most). Etsy is a place that Artists can open up a shop and sell their Handmade Goods, Art Supplies, and Vintage Items.  The whole community has a great positive vibe.  Most merchants are very friendly, and the Etsy experience is simple and quite enjoyable.

Thinking about shopping online? Always looking for new inventive fun items for your house or wardrobe? Do adore owning stand out items that all your friends rave about? You should be an Etsy shopper!






Etsy isn't new, although many are just now discovering it. The community was launched in 2005 and is approaching its 6th Birthday in June. In 2010, seven million registered users were reported and close to 400 million dollars worth of transactions had taken place.

The Individuals that shop online, shop Mom and Pop (small business stores), or if you enjoy uniquly designed items, this is for you.  Also something to note, at Etsy.com there are many green movements and one could see why with Vintage now being chic.  You can find clothing, jewelry, art, and furniture all hand crafted.  It's a great place to support artist and find items that will inspire you everyday of the week.

This month I will be showcasing and sharing some of my favorite shops, designs,and items.  There are a lot of options so I'll be sharing tips on how I search and what I look for when I buy.  One of the funnest things about Etsy is watching creative ideas and items come to life.  Etsy makes a place for the seller to display 5 photos of every item, it's here they have the oppurtunity to bring their merchandise to life and capture your attention. It is quite interesting to see how these individuals style their photos and items.

Till next Time! Peace & Love,
