I think Etsy is one of the greatest places on the internet. I love being able to find incredible handmade goods -- I like knowing that my money is supporting someone who truly loves what they do and appreciates the creative process.With the weekend fast approaching (and lots of time in my garden on the agenda), I thought I'd share some of my favorite Etsy items with you. Some of these have sold, but I still keep them in my favorites, because I think they are just gorgeous. I'd love it if you'd leave me a link to your favorite Etsy shops and sellers in the comments -- I'm always looking for new goodies to add to my "want it want it want it" list.

Great post Aud! Love your choices, and since you asked, LOL, here's what's caught my eye at Etsy.
I am drooling over this Disco Inferno Bulky Handspun yarn http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22684101. I really want to make myself a scarf with that stuff!
and I just bought this set of illustrated postcards of Vintage Guitars for my Dad http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=15555250
and I don't think this Happy Birthday Tutu can be any cuter http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22728054
so that's what's inspired me lately. Think I'm actually going to make that tutu, I made one for Halloween and it was so much fun!

I love to surf Etsy! It is probably not possible to see all of the goodness offered there so posts like this are helpful! LOVE your choices.
