Create

In my spare time (almost every day) I like to browse etsy.com. I love sorting through all the shops and seeing everything that people create. I enjoy crafting and mostly spend my time quilting. I also love to dream about the stuff that I could make if I had the tools. I want to woodwork, make jewelry, design t-shirts, work with felt, paint, embroider, make clothes etc. Basically I want to do it all. Browsing through all these amazing things really brightens my day, especially when we are mired in snow and the etsy shop is starting to feature spring things.

There are a ton of really neat features. You can search by color, title, material, location (so you can help support people in your area), by category, and more. I always read the shop profile because I find it interesting to read about the people behind the shops.

Here are a few of my favorite items.

These beautiful earrings are from a designer in Maine who calls her shop Sojourn Curiosities. I love the shape and the color. Adam got me something from etsy for my birthday and the transaction was smooth and the packaging was great. It's a wonderful way to support people out there trying to be creative for a living.




I have been drawn towards all things nest related. The other day I did a search for the word nest and went through all the pages. I fell in love with this ring from the Starry Designs shop. So go, browse and be happy.
