Sussing out Great Etsy Finds!
Do you shop on Etsy? There’s some really great things to be discovered there, but oh my goodness, it’s a lot like searching for a needle in a haystack! However, if you stay with it you can uncover some fabulous finds.
The handmade, artisan pieces you can source on Etsy have a way of elevating the interior design in your home. Decor and furniture that’s been handcrafted speak to history and humanity in a way that turns a space into a living and breathing home.
I’m always excited when I stumble on to an Etsy shop that offers unique pieces that fit my design vibes. Like this Herefords in the Afternoon print by Cari Humphry.
I bought this piece back when we lived in Manhattan and my country girl roots desperately needed some cows and some green grass in her life. I knew when I found it on Etsy I had to have it. When we moved the glass on the frame broke and scratched the print, so I promptly ordered a replacement! That’s how much it means to me. I love it hanging in my reading nook at the top of our stairs here in our Nashville home.
Getting to support small businesses and mom-and-pop shops is one of my favorite reasons to shop on Etsy. And today I wanna share with you some of my favorite finds. Here’s a few in no particular order. All these Etsy shops are worth your time to check out!

A Few Things to Note When Shopping on Etsy
Read the reviews and the small print. Etsy shopping can sometimes be confusing because frequently the reviews are about that particular shop in general and not just the product you are viewing.
Most sellers are quick to respond and a lot of them can customize their products. Just ask if there’s something that you are interested in.
Pillows are another thing I love to source on Etsy. So many great pillow shops. I’ll share some of my favorites soon.
Also, check out these Christmas decor ideas! With our current situation with so many products being on backorder or stuck in ports waiting to be unloaded we need to get those things ordered ASAP!
Would love to hear about any favorite Etsy finds of yours!
