Etsy Musings

The Muse happens to be a BIG Etsy junkie. It's a huge addiction, like really, really big. The Muse's mum is fond of the phrase "from soup to nuts", in this case that would be a real fitting way of understanding my purchases on Etsy. I literally buy from soup to nuts on the site. Makeup, clothes, jewelry, perfume....you name it I've purchased it somehow or someway on Etsy. I've been shopping on Etsy since around 2006 or so. In the past three year's Etsy has grown up to be such a big and wonderful place to score such amazing finds.

I wrote about Etsy once before on Musings, quite a long time ago when I first began my blog. At the time I had plans to bring a category to my site which would be an "Etsy finds" daily post sort of thing. Someway, somehow that wonderful idea got tossed to the back burner and never really got taken out of the closet until now.

Lately, I've been tossing around ideas on how to make my blog more interesting. I feel like I do the same thing day after day and I just want something to spice up my little home on the Internet. What came into play was the rebirth of my "Etsy Musings" idea from days of old.

Mostly I embraced my idea for this new category simply because we are all looking for an escape from the expensive and really would love some unique, inexpensive beauty finds. Secondly, I really wanted to give a little recognition to my favorite sellers on Etsy. Many of these people aren't in it for a simple buck, this is their art, an expression of their personality. I felt like many of these artists (I refrain from using the word sellers) needed a voice, someone to shout out to the world about how wonderful they are and again the rebirth of Etsy Musings took place.

So for the sake of unique, inexpensive beauty finds made by wonderful artists....I bring to you Etsy Musings which will be a weekly or a monthly or an every other day post about a great Etsy find and the artist behind it.

I hope you'll enjoy this interesting category. I hope it'll lead you towards an interesting, unique, and inexpensive beauty find. I hope it'll help you to embrace your inner artist. I hope it'll simply put a smile on your face after finding a neat little treat that doesn't cost you $25 bucks but simply a dollar or two.

I'll begin Etsy Musings starting this week with a review and an interview from a kawaii jewelry maker that lives in the Philippines and literally brings a "sweet" touch to jewelry!

Stay tuned for the details but for now what are your thoughts on Etsy?
