Handmade Holidays:
Searching for something a little different this year? Have you tried Etsy? Sometimes called the Ebay for Artisans, Etsy features works from artists around the world.

My favorite finds have been fashion accessories and jewelry. But it truly does not stop there! You’ll be surprised at the vast offering.
My current favorites:
For a friend who’s rocking the ruffle trend this year…a must-see seller on Etsy is artlab. From ruffle accented shirts to scarves with ruffles (like the one below)–they’re definitely worth a look. Plus they have lots of other great looks too!

Looking for even more ruffles? Try visiting dyanahar. From tunics to tanks…she has ruffled versions of them all. Check out the heather grey tunic below:

Know someone who loves all things Parisian? How about a Night in Paris necklace? It features a 14 kt gold-filled mini Eiffel Tower–adorned with rhinestones, along with black mystic spinel quartz and teal green quartz. Available from thejewelrybar, this necklace is also available in silver. And this is only one of their many beautiful creations.

For a friend who fancies scarves, hats and fingerless gloves; look no further than homelab. Each piece is a work of art! The following is a pair of gloves I’m currently coveting.

Have a dachshund-lover on your list? They’d be hard pressed to resist a likeness of their furry baby in the form of a pendant. Luckyduct carries a wide selection of unique jewelry. Their assortment includes knuckle-rings, bicycle pendants and the wiener dog below.

Looking for a hair accessory? Visit VieModerne. With literally pages of options in feathers, tulle, leather, chiffon, velvet and more…prepare for lots of decisions. The following Savannah headband is just one idea.

Want to get a friend an edgier version of a scarf? Try a necklush! I’m loving the necklush ultra natural with dark grey below. And there are lots of other versions as well!

Die-hard Project Runway fan on your holiday list? How about a carolhannah original? After an appearance at Bryant Park, this designer’s wares are now available, at you-guessed-it…Etsy! Check out the Leather Bloom Cuff below.

❤Lizzie ❤kaileenelise ❤Twisted Tina– so happy you liked some
of my choices! Etsy has so many amazing things it was really
difficult to limit the article to 8 pieces. In fact, an earlier
version had just 5…but I kept adding.
❤Julie Smith–I think I’m well on my way to joining you in the
Etsy FANATIC category! Sounds like I’m in good company. If you
do get around to opening your own Etsy store–let me know. Would
love to check out your pieces!
