For me it is Etsy. I love looking at the creations from a group of very talented artists. Plus, when I buy, I feel good supporting small business persons. I would imagine given the major overseas shipping problems that this will be a banner holiday season for them 🎄

I like Etsy too and haven't been there in awhile, maybe I will hit it up this week.  I too love supporting small business, which is why for the balance of my christmas shopping I will be hitting up the local craft and artisan markets.

Etsy for me also. I got a beautiful patchwork quilt home made from a lady and is is so much better than what I could buy at a regular store online or b&m. It was probably the same if not a bit lower in price also.

I'm another Etsy fan.  I am in there a few times a day, browsing and also checking my favorite vendors to see if they've added anything new.

Anyone have some favorite Etsy vendors they'd like to post the names of?

I'll share some of mine:

lighthouse3640. I love her handmade wallets.  I have several and have given many for gifts. 

bagsbyapril. April makes terrific bags.  They're traditional purses, not tote bags.  

Zolapepper. Love her hand/dish towels.  They're so pretty and I can't resist them when she adds a new one. 

handwovenbysteve. LOVE the hand loomed rugs. 

Littleflowerfabric. My favorite masks come from this shop.  They use Liberty of London fabrics. 

thejunkiemonkeyshop. Great dishtowels. 

Josieskids. I love the small bags she makes. I use them as gift bags.

I can personally recommend 'MyCrazyBulldogQuilts' on Etsy.

The owner is lovely and talented and will also make quilts to order.
