I'm not sure if you have ever found your way wondering around the wonderful site http://www.etsy.com/, but it is a playground of delightful, endless enjoyment.
Well, it is for me at least, because it is a virtual marketplace. People who do arts and crafts, who make all kinds of things from beaded necklaces to clothing out of plastic bottles, are found on this website. Looking for something vintage? Etsy is your place. Want something that no one else has? Buy it on Etsy because if it's coming from Peru, I'm thinking no one will have one from where you're from... unless you are from Peru where it is popular...
But the best thing that I found on Etsy a few months ago was right there on the main page: Blog posts! And they are not just posts about how to do cool things with felt. They are interesting thoughts about art, music, clothing, and just about anything you can imagine.
So I'm leaving you today with this article:
http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2011/the-tyranny-of-trends/?ref=fp_blog_title
It's one of the first ones I ever read and made me think a lot more about the clothes I wear, other then what colour looks best on me.
Let me know what you think.
