12 Great Etsy Shops
LatestYou’ve probably heard some talk that Etsy is beginning to give eBay a run for its money. True, indeed. Since its inception, this massive online marketplace has drawn a rep for hosting a plethora of artsy-craftsy doo-dad and DIY vendors.
Plenty of these carefully made objects are worth a visit. However, if homespun isn’t your thing, there are lots of edgier sellers who’ve got some pretty enviable collections of vintage clothing, cool accessories, and housewares up for auction. Is the selection as vast as ebay? No, not quite. But is the experience a little sweeter, kind of like you’re rolling up to a good friend’s stoop sale? Absolutely. In fact, we’ve found 12 boutiques that are venerable treasure troves of good, affordable finds for your closet and the rest of the house, too!
