Etsy-Your place to buy and sell all things handmade

Have you heard of Etsy? I was introduced to Etsy last summer, and have found myself perusing the aisles (so to speak) for hours. It is the place to go for handmade items. Everything can be found on Etsy.

You can buy on Etsy as well as have your own "storefront" to sell your wares. It is an attractive place to sell for WAHMs (Work At Home Moms). For many women, who prefer to be a stay at home mom, but still bring in a little or sometimes a lot of income, etsy is the answer. But it is not just for women.

The creative juices just flow on etsy, it's like walking through an art museum online. From handmade oriental clothing to jewelry to paper crafts, you name it, it is on etsy.

My friend Melissa Walker has a store on Etsy, she is a mother of four, and an artist. She helps bring in a little income by doing her art work in between diaper changing and home-schooling the other three. It would never pay her enough to go out and get a "JOB" what with her four children day care costs would go through the roof. But with Etsy, she can stay at home, be a mom, and still do her art work.
