I love to decorate, but I admit collecting things is not something I’ve given much thought to until now. I realized recently almost everyone has collections. You may think you’re not a collector (I did), but how many platters or wooden spoons do you have? Coffee cups, nice pens?
My favorite Etsy stores are the ones where real people are hand-making and curating beautiful things, vintage is still vintage, and things are priced like an antique shop, not a boutique. If that’s your jam, too, here are some Etsy stores you’ll enjoy.
When I travel, fabric shops are always on my itinerary (near the top with antique stores, thrift shops, and flea markets). Here are my favorite online and brick and mortar stores.
