Roundup: Our Favorite Etsy Stores — And Tell Us Yours!

We all know Etsy contains a wealth of upcycled goodies, handmade housewares, and vintage ephemera. But despite all its brilliance and talent, Etsy can be wildly overwhelming to navigate. So, in the spirit of Artwork, Crafts, and Collections month here on Re-Nest, we thought a little collaboration might be in order: we'll tell you a few of our favorite Etsy stores, if you tell us a few of your favorites!

Here are a few of our favorite stores:

Vintage Home:

• Hindsvik Vintage
• Little Byrd Vintage
• High Street Market
• Blue Bell Bazaar

Handmade Decor:

• Girls Can Tell
• Alyssa Ettinger
• Circa Ceramics
• BROOKLYNrehab

• A Stitch In Dye
• Pillowhappy
• Joom
• Spin Spin Handmade

Artwork:

• Bicycle Paintings
• Oh My Cavalier!
• Artquirk
• Olive Dear

Oh my. This is just a small, teeny-weeny sampling on our end. So much to love!

Now, it's your turn! Have a seller you always go to for vintage homewares? Handmade textiles? Artwork? We want to hear it all...

Images, from clockwise: She Doll #9 from Stiksel; Twist screenprinted fabric from Summersville; Russian House from Oh My Cavalier; Little Squirrel Desk Buddies from BROOKLYNrehab

Not really apartment decor, but wonderful and worth checking out all the same.

I ADORE the beautifully crafted jewelery by TheMossPot. Her work is gorgeously designed and well made. I have several necklaces and I never fail to get compliments when wearing them. You should totally check it out.

I haven't bought any, so I can't attest to their quality, but I've been really intrigued by these pieces by artist T. Braun. I keep thinking about getting the one of Lincoln with sunglasses...

does shameless self-promotion count? my favorite etsy stores tend to be vintage clothing that don't seem applicable here.

i'm a professional fashion photographer, and i have a bunch of prints up for sale in my store--i'm proud to say i haven't seen anything like them on etsy.
