Handmade=awesome

My dear friend Kitty sent me a pair of earrings out of the blue a few months ago, and I fell head over heels in love with them. It turns out she got them on Etsy from the shop ShySiren. I love, love, love the vintage inspired jewelry from ShySiren. It's totally my style, and hard for me not to buy every piece of jewelry she makes.

If you don't already shop at Etsy, you should definitely head over to take a look. You can find everything from jewelry, clothing, pottery, and stationery, to art, furniture, and wedding accessories, and your purchases support talented artisans who are passionate about their craft.

You can even shop locally by searching for vendors in your city. Check it out!
