Imagine yourself at a craft fair. There are rows of tables as far as the eye can see, each covered with beautiful pieces of art handcrafted by someone with a creative passion.
Now, imagine a place set up as a 24/7 online craft fair, with easy ways to purchase these pieces of art.
Etsy is a fantastic website where you can access thousands of shops that sell anything you can think of. Even better, you can filter the shops you are looking at not only by item but by location. All you have to do is go to the left-hand side of the “search” page and refine your search to the location you are looking for. This is the perfect way to be sure you are shopping local and shopping small, and also getting those one-of-a-kind pieces that make gift-giving exciting!
