For those of you who are not familiar with etsy.com, you should become familiar, it's wonderful! Etsy is a marketplace of all things handmade. From clothes, to jewels, to artwork, to furniture and everything in between, you can find just about anything you could ever need, or want. For me, it's a great feeling to support a small business, but it also allows you to support local artisans in your area, some of which you may never have known existed.
The first store I am choosing to highlight actually was my first introduction to Etsy. Glamourpuss Creations is an artisan who focuses on vintage materials to create beautiful, one of a kind items. The store motto, "Authentic Vintage Jewels for the Hipster Hottie in you!" is oh so true! This artisan is also local for me, based in Boston, MA. Here is a snipit from the shop announcement:
"Welcome to Glamourpuss Creations! Offering hip jewelry and accessories made from the neatest *uncirculated* (new old stock) vintage materials. I pay careful attention to the quality, color and style of each piece, testing the drape and form for a proper fit."
Below I have created a mini of some of my favorites from this shop. *Please note that just because my profile name is listed below the "buy handmade" logo, I am NOT the creator of anything on Etsy* I would encourage anyone and everyone to check out Glamourpuss, "modern fare with vintage flair!" Enjoy!
I'm going to check out the shop right now! :)
