What is Etsy.com?

"...a new kind of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems".

Etsy.com is an online marketplace where people can connect to buy and sell handmade and vintage items, art and craft supplies, and more. It is a great way to support local artisans while purchasing unique, quality items. You can often work with the seller to customize your orders. My biggest Etsy purchase was my wedding bouquets and boutonnieres:

Bridal Bouquet

Why should I support local small businesses?

When you buy products from small, reputable companies, you are helping to support entrepreneurship and product diversity. By supporting the people who run the companies, you are playing a part in keeping their business running. Read consumer reviews of the vendor's products to make an informed purchasing decision, and further support the small business by going back and posting a review once you have received and tested the product.

What else can you order from Etsy vendors?

• Vintage and handcrafted jewelry
• Clothing and accessories
• Art and home decor
• Toys and baby care items
• Homemade soaps
• Gifts, and more....
