Angela's Fashion Find: An Etsy Slice of Internet Shopping Heaven






















Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for anything that can be classified as different, unique or even downright strange. When shopping, I look for fashions that aren't ordinary, everyday, run of the mill stuff you're going to see all over town. I strive, but often fail, to be different. But etsy.com has breathed new life in my quest to be one of a kind.






Ahh, you say you've never heard of etsy? We'll let me aquaint you. It's my favorite new internet retail site that caters to people like me who want one of a kind stuff....like tie-dyed lingerie, mermaid sea glass jewelry and a crocheted hamburger purse. Okay, I don't exactly love everything that's on the site, but it's definitely worth a look.






If you're an artisan who makes your own....well, anything from clothing to accessories, housewares, chocolate chip cookies, lip balm cases, you name it, you can sell it on etsy. Okay, since I'm a craft-o-phobe who gets panic attacks when I go into a Michaels, I'll just shop thankyouverymuch. It basically works like ebay, but without the bidding. There are thousands of different dealers selling millions of different items...unique things that you won't find carbon copies of at your neighbor's house or when dropping the kids off at school.

I think I'm in love with etsy.com.
