So in the past year I have tried to focus on buying more from local artists. Not all these sites are local, but they are from starving artists who I would rather give my money to than large factories. Remember an artist is making you a one of a kind item! I have some awesome etsy shops to promote here, so get those credit cards ready!!
1. http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoosOddistuffies :the best place online to buy fairie wings and other fun things! This is my friend Dori’s page, she also does local art shows around town, so come out and see her if you can. She is an amazing artist!
2. http://www.etsy.com/shop/damselinthisdress : the best place to buy custom made corsets! I don’t own any, but I have worn them and they are beautiful and comfortable. My friend Crystal swears by them.
3. http://www.etsy.com/shop/citizenobjects : the best place for metal jewelery. This is my co-workers sister, and she reuses metal and makes it into beautiful art and jewelery, check it out!
Here are some sites I stole from Dori’s favorites that I think you might like too, but have no relationship with:
4. http://www.etsy.com/shop/freckletree :who doesn’t love owls! And owls on baby hats!!
5.http://www.etsy.com/shop/lacocorouge :awesome headpieces and hats!
6.http://www.etsy.com/shop/katwise : beautiful elf coats made form recycled fabric!
7.http://www.etsy.com/shop/post: Tattoo nylons, if I had nice legs i would buy tons of these!
8.http://www.etsy.com/shop/labellefairy : more corsets, a little more pricey but beautiful

10.http://www.etsy.com/shop/faitavec :spats! Once again I wish i had better legs…
