I love <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">etsy</a> really I do. It's such a great venue for crafters from all over the world to sell their wares to the public on a grand scale. There are many blogs that write etsy inspired posts from time to time and if you are a regular of this blog you will be aware of my '<a href="http://cravenmaven.wordpress.com/category/as-seen-on-etsy/">Etsy T-T-T-Tuesday</a>' write up that hits on..well Tuesdays!

The items in those posts come from a very long list of 'favourite shops' I have bookmarked. Twice a week or so, I look to see what they have on offer, and also check etsy's front page for any new and exciting featured stores. I realised recently that you can browse the store favourites of any etsy user (duh!), so check it out! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/cravenmaven/favorites?type=shops">My list of favourite stores on etsy.</a> For the most part, they are vintage housewares, artists or food and condiment stores which hail from all over the globe - a cornucopia of craven treats! Enjoy browsing!!
