Etsy

My friend Chelsea (check out simpletakes.com) referred me to the website Etsy.com. I found so many unique gifts to give family and friends for Christmas. It's kind of hard to navigate the site, because there's SO MUCH on there. But all the items are homemade or vintage or created in some way by the seller. You can shop by category, but there are thousands of dresses, for example, in the clothing category. One of the coolest features is the original art for sale. You can buy all kinds of interesting pieces. I love film photography and polaroids. When I decorate my future apartment, I want to buy tons of polaroid/photographs from here to decorate my walls:) Chelsea hopes to sell her photographs on Etsy.
The site's like rummaging through a yard sale, thrift store or one of the packed Forever 21's. Lots of gems, hard to find.
A few intriguing items:

Sushi Ring!

Wedding dress. BEAUTIFUL

Fish earrings : )

hippie hemp "sandals"
