What Makes Etsy.com Special?

If you haven’t heard of Etsy.com, or have heard of it, but don’t know quite what it is, let me explain. Etsy.com is a website where you can buy and sell things hand made, vintage as well as art and craft supplies. They have a broad range of items for sale including, but not limited to art, jewelry, clothing, accessories, home décor, and toys. It is well worth your time to at least visit and see what others have discovered and what’s so special about Etsy.com. On Wednesday’s I will be focusing on “The Wonderful World of Etsy.com”. I will pick six Etsy.com shops. Each week I will either pick a theme or have “The Best Of” category. Since school is right around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate for this week’s theme to be “Back to School”. So if you’re looking for personalized items for your child or teacher, or you need items for the classroom or back to school party these are the six shops you will want to browse this week. Thank you for visiting Garland and Grace and happy shopping.
