Etsy is a social commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. These items cover a wide range including art, photography, clothing, jewelry, edibles, bath & beauty products, quilts, knick-knacks and toys. Many individuals also sell craft supplies like beads, wire, jewelry making tools and much more. The vintage items on the site have only one rule to follow: they must be 20 years or older. These items range from old boots and ice skates, to dresses, hats and scarves. The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers personal storefronts where they list their goods for a fee of $.20. It has been compared to "a crafty cross between Amazon and eBay", and to "your grandma's basement". (Source: Wikipedia)
One of my favorite shops to look at is from Kelly Galvin Robson at High Street Market. Through her Etsy shop, she sells fabulous vintage home goods from silver-plated serving trays to whimsical bookends.

I found these pillows that would work perfect on my couch in the living room…but at $160 a pop, no gracias. So I did I search on Etsy and found a similar one without the jute fringe at a much more reasonable price!
