SusanSupply

4pcs ABS Resin Cable Needle Knitting NeedlesI searched "cable needle", as I've been in need of one for a while to try cable knitting, and although these might not be the prettiest, I think these are the least expensive. This set of four resin needles are just under $2. Some solid brass ones were $18 for I believe two needles. If you'd prefer these, just search what I did and you should find them pretty easily.

They're still very nice and they all fit inside each other for easy storage. What a great idea! If you can't knit, SusanSupply also sells all sorts of crafting supplies as stated in her shop name. You can purchase doll screws, scrapbooking utensils, buttons, sewing supplies, and more. What's the best part about this shop? Free worldwide shipping!

Is this not the most beautiful baby blanket you've ever seen? You can purchase the instant download pattern from Adikeren on Etsy. Unfortunately, if you don't like this blanket pattern, you won't be able to purchase anything from this shop. This is the only pattern available.

Some of the reviews include:

"Love it! Veryyyy easy."
-shelbymosely

"Very clear instructions. Thank you!"

Splurge a bit and purchase this pattern! I don't know it from experience but I can tell that it will be worth the money!

Handpainted The Great Gatsby Book Cover Sneaker Canvas Shoes 1920sI don't mean to pat myself on the back but I have a slowly growing Etsy shop. I used to list earrings but only one sale was made so after a few months, I decided that my handpainted shoes were eligible to be sold. You can order one of my listed pairs or request a custom order to be made. Here is my favorite of what I have to offer so far:

But these beautiful Gatsby shoes are only the beginning. I will very soon be listing warm, handknitted goods such as slippers and scarves! Please take a moment to view my Etsy account!

RosiesPendants

Author.  Handmade Keepsake Pendant - Literary Jewelry - Book Lover - I Love to WriteRosiesPendants is the best place to find custom necklaces and, a new addition, keychains. There are so many options that you might get lost browsing all day! You can order a necklace with a picture or with a quote. Also available is custom made merchandise such as a necklace with your children's names. I really like one of Monet's bridge painting and another that says a quote from "The Great Gatsby".

I plan on buying this one if I ever publish a book. https://www.etsy.com/listing/183191023/author-handmade-keepsake-pendant?ref=favs_view_10

JandGHandmade

This is one of my other favorite shops. Jennifer, the owner, designs and sells hair accessories for babies, toddlers, and young girls. She can make you a custom bow or headband that is larger than her usual sizes if you ask her to. That way you can buy one for yourself!

My favorite that she recently posted is the pink one with a gold band. I also like one that she posted a while back that is periwinkle! These lovely accessories are priced usually at around $7. https://www.etsy.com/listing/164423964/babychildadult-hair-bow-clip-pink-fabric?ref=listing-0

ValekRollingPins

Embossing rolling pin - Cat pattern
Here's another cool shop. Not too many options are available but this is a baker's dream. Your kid has a class party. He comes home and tells you that you need to make a treat for him and his classmates. Immediately you think of making cookies. They're simple and inexpensive. You can even buy a boxed recipe and send those in. But why not give them an extra touch of fun? That's what ValekRollingPins is for.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/178931923/embossing-rolling-pin-cat-pattern?ref=listing-4
I'm a cat person so this is my personal favorite. There are a couple other options such as dinosaurs, dogs, and fleur de lis. All her rolling pins are $42 dollars unless you want a custom made pin for $55 that reads "Made by ______". That one is really nice! https://www.etsy.com/listing/180814110/personalized-rolling-pin-made-bypattern?ref=listing-0

These are so pretty and I wish I knew how to make them so I could have one for myself without the price! Overall, I would buy one when I buy my own house.

ValekRollingPins is worth taking a look at!

HandmadeInIceland


 White darkblue traditional Icelandic sweater "Lopapeysa" with shoulder pattern Adult sweater hand knitted out of pure Icelandic lambs wool
How can you hate sweaters? They're super warm on the cold winter days that we need them the most and usually very soft. Not to mention fashionable. So with this said, I want to mention to you HandmadeInIceland. The owner handknits beautiful sweaters perfect for that Christmas party or simply lounging around all day. Unfortunately, these beautiful, handknitted sweaters are not cheap.

This one is my favorite:
  https://www.etsy.com/listing/159816952/white-darkblue-traditional-icelandic?ref=listing-0

The colors are gorgeous! The dark blue stands out brilliantly against the white. The owner can use different colors if you'd prefer them. And everyone understands the class of imported clothes. Well unfortunately for me and many others, this lovely creation is $165. Plus it has to be shipped across seas for another $35.

HandmadeInIceland has many other sweaters available at her shop that you can choose from.

OmAgainVintage


60s Pink Parfait Taffeta Party Dress Pale Pink Vintage Oragami Prom Dress Size Small to X Small 
OmAgainVintage has been one of my favorite Etsy shops since I opened my own shop in March. It was one of the first ones I found. The owner has been using Etsy since March 2010. She sells vintage items at a great price! Many vintage and antique shops on Etsy and in stores across the world price their merchandise highly because they are old. OmAgainVintage is not like those other stores. She sells her items fairly.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/164927763/60s-pink-parfait-taffeta-party-dress?ref=listing-14
A few months ago, I saw this dress listed for just $35!  I just adored it! However, at the time I wasn't able to move the money around to buy it. It's still listed if you're interested. The material is taffeta and it's from the 60s. The size is 0-1 in modern women's sizes. 

Most of her dresses are priced between $35-$50 with some exceptions of vintage wedding dresses, evening gowns, or two piece skirt suits. Also available at her shop are shoes, men's clothing, accessories, and home decor.

OmAgainVintage says in her profile, "I love vintage fashion not only for the glamorous style, but also because wearing vintage is my way of recycling to help the environment. Even my home is furnished with vintage pieces.....mid century modern is my passion. So recycle, be green, and look fabulous while doing it."
