ARTISTIC APPRECIATION: etsy
the etsy mission (from their website):
etsy is the world's handmade marketplace.
our mission is to empower people to change
the way the global economy works. we see a world in which very-very
small businesses have much-much more sway in shaping the economy, local
living economies are thriving everywhere, and people value authorship
and provenance as much as price and convenience. we are bringing heart
to commerce and making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more
fun.
etsy is so good it's bad. i wish i had a trillion dollars to buy all the beautiful amazing creations offered on it's website, which would then also support the equally amazing artisans who created them. here are a few of my current favorites. prepare to drool:
caprichosa jewelry |
handmade pasta bowls by lea wood |
janish jewels |
eyeglass stand by artakimbo |
vintage pencil and ruler chime/mobile by vanessa boer |
Someday we're going to work for Etsy and frolic through their uber-cool offices buying things with our employee discount and basking in the glow of handmade lovelies! - Jules/Etsy-addict
