I’ve always been a huge fan of Etsy. I love that I can buy one of a kind items and know that I’m supporting a small business that appreciates every single purchase made. My mom has always been quite crafty, and when I was a child she would sew dresses for me and also taught me how to bead, knit and cross stitch. Because of this, I hold a special place in my heart for handmade goods.

Etsy is a HUGE marketplace and can be overwhelming, so it’s sometimes hard to know where to begin. If you need some motivation, here are the Etsy shops I’m currently obsessing over:

Love From Cyprus

From sandals to jewelry to handbags, everything in this shop will inspire you to book that Mediterranean trip ASAP.

Jazaar

This one was featured in the latest Bargain or Binge post – they have amazing gypsy boho jewelry that is perfect for the summer & festival season.

Datter Industries

I’m a sucker for any jewelry that has the “watchful eye”, and this shop has some amazing pieces that incorporate this in a simple & minimalistic way.

Black Moon Sky

If vintage is your jam, than this is the shop for you. They have some killer pieces, a lot of which are from the 1970’s which we all know is uber hot right now.

HandmadeLana

A good beanie is essential, because even the best of us have a bad hair day.

HawkHouse

I find opal jewelry to be so beautiful. I love how it reflects different colors depending on what you are wearing.
