A different way to shop...


As the holiday shopping season begins in earnest and the chains and malls slash prices, don't forget about the small, artistic shops out there. Etsy is full of them and I've featured several here this year. You'll find vintage, stunning art, linens, jewelry and all sorts of other gorgeous creations in the shops below, all of which were featured in my Beauty on Etsy series. For more, you can find the Etsy-wide gift guide here. And Karyn at French Charming also has a gift giving guide featuring various shops.
No matter where you do your shopping, I hope you find items to delight everyone, without emptying your pocketbook.

  1. Thanks so much for listing these! I just love Etsy!
    I actually bought another apron from Annie after you featured her shop. I couldn't resist the Santa Apron. Let's call it a Christmas gift to myself. ;p
