Top 5 Handmade Shops!

These are a few of my favorite things!

Today I'm sharing five of my favorite Etsy shops. Of course I love more than five, but I wanted to inspire you to start exploring the world of Etsy and make a difference in the lives of these makers and whomever you buy for this season!

Did I mention it's almost my birthday?

Some Things Wong [somethingswong.etsy.com]

You guys. Flowers that never die? Laci (@somethingswong) knows what you want before you even knew you wanted it. Succulents? I mean, come on. Her work is spectacular! She has a beautiful eye for color and somehow manages to create these gorgeous blooms that are sure to brighten any room. Flowers are the perfect gift for any occasion. She has so much to choose from!

Loops and Love Boutique [loopsandloveboutique.etsy.com]

Stephanie (@loopsandloveboutique) is the maker behind this adorable shop. She has been crocheting for years and recently opened her etsy shop this summer! Her love for crochet is apparent in her work. She makes baby bows, bow headbands (even mommy + me matching ones!), newborn hats, coffee cozies, blankets, and more! I love that she has a wide range of colors to choose from and loves making custom orders.

52home [52home.etsy.com]

Janelle Bradshaw (@janelle52home) creates these beautiful, truth-telling works of art. We already have four items from her shop hanging on the walls and sitting on our shelves! I just love having these verses and quotes around the home to keep me focused on Christ. When you visit her shop, don't fret if it's empty. These are hot ticket items! Be sure to follow her on instagram to know when she has her flash sales!

STORYhandmade  [STORYhandmade.etsy.com]

Shelley Nengstrom (@shelleynengstrom) is the maker behind these amazing necklaces and macrame. What I love the most about her work is that she is inspired by the nature around her! Her instagram feed is GORGEOUS, and it is clear that she has an eye for color and beauty. Her macrame would be the perfect piece of art to add to any room. It's pretty fun imagining it on every wall of our home. 

Aaand... of course. A little shameless plug:

Unafrayed Sewing [unafrayedsewing.etsy.com]

I've been sewing for a year now and just love being able create beautiful and useful items. My favorite gift items from the shop are: baby bandana drool bibs (age 6 months - 2+ years), headbands,  and zippered pouches for practically anything! I love making custom orders, so contact me via Facebook or Etsy and I would be happy to work with you!

I can't wait to grow my list of favorite handmade shops! What are yours? Let me know in the comments!
