Wow the talent on Etsy is mind blowing!!

As the title states the talent on Etsy is mind blowing. I put out an offer for Etsy shop owners to be featured on my blog and the response was incredible!


I decided to make this a Christmas gift feature with quite a number of different items and shops. I wasn't able to include all simply because my fingers would fire me for all the typing but I have to say that every shop that responded was amazing!

So let's get started, hoping that you will be able to find that perfect Christmas gift from one of these sellers.

HammelmanArt - http://www.hammelmanart.etsy.com/

This shop includes a wonderful selection of watercolor paintings. Florals, Abstracts, Land & Sea, and much more.

They are currently have a great sale. If you purchase anything in their Holiday Gift section you will receive another item of equal or lesser value FREE.

Here is one example of the beautiful work in the shop.

Just Add Charm - http://www.justaddcharm.etsy.com/

Well if I had girls I would be spending a ton of money in this shop. Since I wasn't allowed to cut my hair until I was 12 you can imagine just how many ponytail holders I have worn. These are by far the sweetest I have ever seen. These would make a great stocking stuffer for sure!

This shop is also offering free shipping for all orders over $20.

AlloverArt - http://www.alloverart.etsy.com/

This shop features oil paintings, pet portraits, pendants and more.

The pendants really struck me, simply beautiful and a great selection.

Here is my favorite. Be sure to check out the shop as they have many different designs.

Treeartist - http://www.treeartist.etsy.com/

When I came across this shop I fell in love with the paintings, they are so unique and really vibrant. I was quite happy to see that the artist was just down the highway from me. I love supporting local business.

Currently they are offering free shipping on all purchases till November 30th.

Check out these wonderful paintings

Across the Pond Designs - http://www.acrossthepond.etsy.com/

This shop has something that I have never seen before and I think it is the greatest idea. Perfect gift for the person who has everything.

It is a wooden locket that you can do so much with, here are some examples from the artist

Some ideas for using your locket:

-Use index prints from your photo processing

-Print tiny pictures from your own computer

-Type up your favorite quotes

-Put inspirational messages that you can look at throughout the day
-Collage a tiny little scene

-Scan and reduce a love note from your favorite person

Here is my favorite
