Coming soon... My Beauty on Etsy series

I have a confession to make: I am in love with Etsy. Or rather, the beauty that can be found there. Since I believe that embracing beauty is truly important to living, I thought it would be fun to share more about these people who bring all this beauty into the world, either through their art or their collecting/preservation sensibilities.

If you have a favorite artist/blogger you want to nominate to be featured, I'm open to suggestions. My only criteria for this "Beauty on Etsy" series is that I love the items on display in their Etsy shop, and that the shop owner is willing to be featured. The series will be varied, featuring painters, multi-media artists, photographers, jewelry makers, collectors/sellers of vintage items, etc., and hopefully offer a little something for everyone.

The photos you see with this post are just a snapshot of some of my favorite Etsy shops (they are not my creations and I do not have an Etsy shop). I'm planning to feature a new Etsy shop every other week or so, and I'll keep a compilation of the shops featured for future reference – sort of a shopping guide, if you will. I thought it might come in handy if you're looking for a unique gift, especially since Etsy can be somewhat overwhelming when you don't have a specific destination.

Look for the first Beauty on Etsy feature later this week. :)

P.S. If you saw this post pop up in your reader more than once, my apologies. I had an awful time with the coding and had to completely start over twice. Yeesh. The joys of html coding.
