I love Etsy! I find some of the most original vintage pieces, accessories, homemade beauty finds and gifts on Etsy. It got me thinking...why would I not be sharing this amazing site with all my readers?First and foremost, I like to shop local. How do I do that? It's so easy! Go to Etsy's homepage and look on the bottom left under the Explore header. Select Shop Local and voila...you're in the know!
Today we're shopping semi-local and rounding up some of the best artisans all over Massachusetts. I used to spend my college summers in Massachusetts nannying for a family that had a home outside Boston and one on Cape Cod too. I have a special place in my heart for this gorgeous state and my sister/her hubby owned a condo in Cambridge too.
With that being said, I've rounded up some great fashionable finds above via Etsy featuring artisans all over Massachusetts. I'll lay out the price-point, the artisan link and the item link below for each piece featured above. I'll even tell you WHY I love it too. Enjoy!
1. X and O Earrings in 14K Gold for $128 by Garnet Girl Designs
Simple, sweet and such great statement makers...these adorable lil' studs are made from recycled metal and cute as can be.
2. Small Glass Memory Locket for $38 by PoPkO
Your creative juices can overflow thinking of ideas for teenie tiny things to put inside this gorgeous magnetic locket. We love the idea of a tiny love letter or a lucky penny.
3. Larch Onishi Hybrid Bag in Graphite for $309 by Valhalla Brooklyn
I mean seriously...they totally had me at, 'Made from soft and gorgeous graphite grey cowhide.' Lined with an awesome printed cotton and totally chic, this bag will get you noticed and guaranteed to be a show-stopper too. Plus, what doesn't that color match?
4. Chocolate Espadrilles (sz 7.5) for $12 by Modern Library
The perfect summer shoe, I love espadrilles with this great ankle wrapped detail and these are vintage. Greener option that purchasing new and you just can't beat that price.
5. Chinese Turquoise Ring for $24 by Tree Swing Studio
Love, love, love this lil' ring. How sweet that it's made of leather and the awesome turquoise and silver accents just made this a complete summer accessory do!
6. Handmade Soap for $4.95 by De Shawn Marie
This hand soap's tagline boasts, 'Limoncello Handmade Soap made with Coconut Milk, Lemon and Lime.' Are you hungry yet? Everything about these ingredients just entices me and sounds like the most wonderful smelling concoction ever!
7. The Tangerine/Peach Quartz Sterling Ring (sz 8) for $22.50 by Lush Boutique
I love to don great statement making rings all summer long. You see a ton of blues and greens for the summer months so this orange hued goodie caught my eye. It would look great paired with a golden tan, long white maxi and some nude colors gladiators.
8. The Hipshack Modern Belt Pocket for $59 by May Tree Ark
Yep, that's a fanny pack. But honestly, what better way to carry around all your needed items when you just don't feel like luggin' a purse on your shoulder? Perfect for all those summer concerts and that great summer vaca...you'll thank me later, promise!
9. Two Vintage Celluloid Cameos for $12 by Tomato Red
These totally have Chanel-esque influences written all over them. Gather some strands of pearls and throw a great ribbon around a side and secure it with one of these and voila, a chic and statement making summer necklace. Lady-like and gorgeous, cameos are one of my fave go-to items!
