Etsy is a popular website that has become a sensation for those looking for affordable, handmade, and beautiful things.  Carrying items such as traditional arts and crafts, there are also fashion related articles sold on the website as well.  Handmade clothing items, jewelry, and other accessories can be found on this divine website. 

The site functions as an online craft store with the ability to buy things, but also to make things.  Sellers get a personal storefront where they list and describe all their items in detail and provide pricing.  You can find beautiful and custom made clothing, all the beautiful and unique jewelry you can imagine and even some vintage items available for sale.

Project Runway designers have sold their items on Etsy.  Project Runway Season 5 winner Leanne Marshall had a shop on Etsy while Season 6 contestants Carol Hannah Whitfield and Louise Black have shops on Etsy offering all their original designs.  Carol Hannah Whitfield offers some of the prettiest dresses you'll ever see in her Etsy shop while Louise Black carries stunning and original corsets.

The jewelry on Etsy is the most fun.  Specialized pieces that you could never find in the stores are available.  Some truly interesting pieces include a charm bracelet by The Beatles called The Beatles Peace Charming bracelet done by designer blinkphoto for only $32.00.  An Anne Boleyn themed ring by designer tartx for $45.00 is perfect for any fan of the Tudor period.  In love with London?  A London city charm necklace for $50.00 in sterling silver by designer personallyforever is a perfect piece of jewelry.  Even Pittsburgh is well-represented in jewelry with a Pittsburgh Penguins charm bracelet by designer skymomkc for $45.00.

If you love vintage then look for some great looks on Etsy.  A green diamond dress sold by sustainablewearable is pure 1970's and a perfect vintage look for only $15.99.  Really want a vintage look?  A 1950's vintage sapphire-blue dress is out there for $350.00 sold by TimelessVixenVintage.  Even amazing boots you would never find in the stores are available.  Vintage tall slouchy black boots for $48.00 sold by DearGoldenVintage are simply cool.  Great looks from the past are available in the vintage section of the Etsy website.

Etsy is an organized, secure, and friendly website.  Buyers can read if the designer making their item is reliable and credibile and sellers can keep in contact with past buyers and let them know of new items they are about to sell.  Buyers can organize all their favorite shops and sellers while sellers can offer a collection of pictures and descriptions of their items in their virtual storefront.  It is organized online shopping
