I love, love, love all things handmade. I think it is such a neat talent to have to be able to create something beautiful with your own two hands. I would call myself pretty "crafty" but I don't think I would be able to make some of the things I see on Etsy. Not familiar with Etsy? Its an amazing online collection of handmade items for sale that range from earrings to furniture. Lets just say it can get very addicting... 

Here are a few favorites that I have come across while getting lost in their vast collection:

Maryland Plyboo Cutting Board:Made by Aheirloom, this husband and wife team make these amazing cutting boards. Don't worry, they have one for each state! You can even get a heart or star put anywhere on the board. I think this makes a wonderful housewarming gift or maybe just buy one for yourself!

Iris Flower and Pearl Post Earring:
Can you say adorable? I think one of the most addicting things on the Etsy website is their jewelry for sure, but especially the earring collection. These are one of my favorites. I think these are so elegant looking that you could wear them out to a special occasion, but cute enough that they can be worn while you are out picking up groceries. Guys, I would say any girl would be happy to get these for a birthday!

Vintage Modern Jewelry Display:
Printers drawers. The best thing ever created. Well, I mean they were originally created to print the news, which is obviously very important. Each one of the slots was where the news printers arranged the different letters, then covered it in ink and used it as a stamp on the paper. Now that those days are long gone, people have found new and fun things to do with the leftover printers drawers. Mine my mother found at an antique shop in upstate NY and I put keepsakes from the places I have been in it. This craftsman came up with a great idea to add hooks to the inside of each square to hang jewelry nice and neatly! Such a great vintage piece!

Wood Wall Shelf:
This is literally so cute. I am obsessed with the fact that there is a mason jar holder on this shelf. who thinks of this kind of stuff?!?

United States Map made of Vintage Beer Cans:
Ok, this is probably the tomboy coming out in me, but I am obsessed with this. Beercandarl on Etsy creates these master pieces by cutting and fitting vintage beer cans into shapes of states, Christmas ornaments, beer mugs and more! They are all mounted on vintage beer shipping crates, so you are literally hanging a piece of beer history on your wall. Love this for a fun bar area, and I would loooove Beercandarl (love that name) to make me one of the state of MD using old Natty Bo cans!
