Most of you are probably familiar with Etsy—a great website where you can find practically anything that artists and creative folks make. I have shopped on Etsy for a long time now and found so many great things for my home and for gifts. I have gotten to know some really wonderful folks through my contacts there and thought that today I would highlight a few of my favorite shops!!! Click on each highlighted link to visit each shop—-these are just a small sampling—there are so many that I have used but these are the ones I have decided to highlight today.
Garden Knicknacks I have gotten 2 great items from these talented ladies—a teapot totem and teapot windchimes!! They are great to work with and have really great unique items! 
McCrenshaw’s Newest Knits I met Alicia through a blogging buddy and LOVE her products. She is a creative and talented lady who uses recycled yarn and mesh to make fabulous dishcloths, towels and other items for your home. My kitties were testers of her cat toys and it has become their favorite!!! Her prices are so reasonable and she is just a wonderful person on top of it and will do custom orders. 
Beach Glass Memories I bought a beautiful heart necklace with a bit of beach glass from Lake Erie from this shop—always nice to have a connection to something beautiful!
Budgalee Cards Bernie creates the most incredible cards! I love each and every one that she has in her shop and have purchased several even though I make cards of my own. Hers are funny and witty and always make me laugh. 
Camp Honeybelle Nina finds all of those vintage items that others overlook and offers them for sale in her great shop. Her items are unique and most likely will trigger some memories of days gone by!
I have to add another favorite shop that is not on Etsy but is well worth a stop or a click! Check out Diane’s jewelry at Cinnamon Sage Boutique. She has some of the best jewelry and I have bought probably 5 pieces from her over the past year or so which I love. The latest one was this beautiful necklace below!!!
