We’ve been dispatched to find the creme de la creme of Etsy sellers for a project—and though we have some favorites here and there, we’re really looking for suggestions. Who has a favorite? Maybe we’ll compile a top ten here and then a couple of those we’ll be able to use for that other project as well. (It’s a good one, we promise.) Who has a suggestion? Or is an actual Etsy seller? (We don’t mind the self promotion, obvs.) All \ any price ranges, all \ any products.
Just comment below by midnight tonight for consideration….

I love Etsy seller locallibrary. Sleek wood jewelry and affordable!
the seller called “moop” makes exquisite canvas bags:

looks like she’s restocking at the moment but you can see her work at her personal website at:http://www.moopshop.com
My friend Michelle makes these GORGEOUS ceramics by hand out of Brooklyn. They are all hand painted and influenced by when she used to look at cells under a microscope while working at a nature camp!

LuxeDeluxe (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=62605) is my favorite etsy seller. They always have a million necklaces and earrings that I want to buy. The prices are reasonable and they’re based in London which, I find glamorous.
I got some gorgeous tile coasters with beautiful tuscan photographs for my mother for Christmas from Joann Bristol.

I also really like LePhotique, which I found on this site.
I just posted a collection of initial necklaces that I made on etsy. I think they’re pretty “creme de la creme” if I do say so myself.

Tumbleweed! I am friggin’ OBSESSED with them. I have 4 pairs of earrings from them, which I literally wear everyday. Simple designs (but super unique). Love love LOVE them. They also have these really nice ring stacking sets… I think they’re based out of Seattle? Here’s the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=23709
another plus: they’re super nice and great at answering questions in a timely fashion. They even do custom work for a reasonable price!
Redheather sells beautiful couture paintings that I love. He likes to push the boundaries and aesthetics of art and design. I bought 5 of them in a larger custom format, and Jerry was kind enough to throw in a few freebies and free shipping since my order was big. I would highly recommend Redheather: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=108563

I love the artwork at FourcrowArt–it’s so striking and I love the simplicity of it (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=80026). If I could handle little change purses (I go for overstuffed wallets and purses), I would definitely buy these vintage fabric ones from oktak:

I also like the little graphic pendants (chamrs?) at LePhotique:

YOKOO makes the most bad-ass scarves you’ll find.

Strap

They currently don’t have any belts up, but I’ve ordered two for presents and they are a huge hit. Beautiful leather, and beautiful craftmanship.
The Wooden Knot

Gorgeous affordable cutting boards.
Bella Brazilian Designs
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5263592
I have two of her rose clips — preserved flowers — and I love them. It travels from Europe, and it is fragile/delicate (I had a little chip in one upon arrival), but basically I’ve never seen anything like what she does here. I think it is exquisite.
Yokoo makes amazing knit hats, scarves and these fantastic knit “chains.” You really must check her out:
