Etsy Spotlight – Accessories

Esty‘s been around for awhile now and sometimes I forget about it. It’s probably not a bad thing as once I get on…..I have a hard time pulling away! I’m a HUGE fan of Etsy. I love the fact that most items are handmade. I can just imagine Grandma Ellen in her basement beading bracelets, or Bob in his back shed creating amazing leather ipad cases. I like supporting the small guys…..and let’s face it…..it’s refreshing to buy something that the rest of the world does not necessarily have!

Here are some cool accessories I found on Etsy…..

1. Vintage Swiss leather bracelets

2. Rainbow Pyrite cocktail ring

3. Leather necklace with freshwater and peacock pearls

4. Dahlia gold earrings

5. Leather star ring

1. Leather ring with turquoise cross

2. Satin purple titanium ring

3. Silver square earrings

4. Leather bracelet with sterling silver cross

1. Brown leather bag

2. Floral Nook/Kindle case

3. Leather ipad case

4. Green leather wallet, fits ipod-iphone

Keep smiling!

Julie
