It's wonderful web wednesday and I've got a truly wonderful site for you. Of course you may have already discovered Etsy, but if you haven't then you're in for a real treat. Etsy is an "online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade." But "all things" definitely doesn't do this site justice.

Etsy has something for everyone, and I mean everyone. Categories include bags & purses, ceramics, clothing, jewelry, needlecraft, plants & edibles, toys, and vintage items--and that's only a sampling. You can search for products by color, geographic location of the seller, how recently they were listed, even by which seller's birthday it is that day. And if you're looking to sell the process is easy as pie. Sign-up is free, your own shop is free, and besides a small sales fee (3.5%) and listing fee (.20 per quantity) Etsy provides you with everything you need to start selling your own handmade items.

So head on over to Etsy and browse away, but be sure you've got a couple hours free and more than a couple bucks to spend. Browsing all those fabulous handmade items is very addicting and I guarantee you'll find more than one that'll tickle your fancy. Happy shopping! --Emily
