Etsy.com is community of craftspeople and designers creating some very unique and hand made items.  In today’s world of Walmart’s and big box type of stores, it can be hard to find good quality and unique items.  The kind of items you used to find at the mom-and-pop store down the street.  At first glance, you would think that Etsy is just another Ebay clone… but once you take a closer look, you realize that it’s something completely different.  The best way I can put it, is Ebay is like a garage sale and Etsy is like an artist fair.

Now, I’m not knocking Ebay… it’s a great site and a site I use on a regular basis to find items you can’t find in stores.  But, the type of sellers on Etsy are just a breed apart.  Most are actual designers, artists, or craftspeople who actually make thier items instead of just selling them.

Etsy not only includes the standard shopping features like search and navigation, but it also contains some very creative and useful tools to find or discover what you’re looking for.  Tools like browsing items by color, by geolocation, by occasion,  or even looking for something created locally.
