My Favorite Etsy Shops


I’m sure you’ve seen all the “shop small” encouragement posts on social media.  I won’t deny that I’m guilty of shopping at huge retailers-  you can tell by how much I link through Amazon, Ulta, Kohls, Nordstrom, Target, etc.  I want to spotlight the smaller businesses I love in this post.  There are some handmade things you just can’t find anywhere else.  

Photo album / I’m a huge lover of velvet- particularly nudes and grey (SKIMS vibes) and wanted a velvet covered photo album for our wedding photos.  I searched on Etsy and found a shop that was able to imprint our names on the cover.  It shipped it out right away and is exactly what I wanted.  I told Alex not to read this post because I’m actually wrapping it for Christmas once I put our photos in it. I will 1000% be shopping at this store again.


Holiday nails / I’ve talked about my love for press on nails in the past. Usually I stick with solid colors, but I’ve been inspired by some cute nail art on Instagram lately.  I don’t know of a good salon near me that could achieve it, so I ordered some cute ones from GetClawedUp.

Pear ring / Had a little treat yourself moment on a new ring.  I was nervous about ordering from a shop that was so far away, but it shipped out in a timely manner.

Raw cut ring / This ring is a must have in my opinion! It was only about $30 and does not tarnish, even though I never take it off.

Simple Band ring / Another one that hasn’t tarnished since I purchased it in 2018.

My Wedding ring / We ordered “The Michelle”.  I have had Pinterest boards all about wedding rings for years, and I went with something totally different than I originally thought I wanted.  I wanted timeless because I feel like my taste and style changes so much.  Even now after having it for a couple months, I wonder if I should have gone with yellow gold over white… I’m annoying!  I’ll likely do a full post all about my ring because I absolutely fell in love with the ring industry when I was picking out my ring and could easily write a 10 page paper about different styles. I’m still on the hunt for a wedding band! 

Family ornament / I’m in love with this ornament of our little fam and I thought it was perfect for our first married Christmas. They also send out a digital proof (that’s great for social media or printing) to approve before mailing the ornament.

Headband / I’m a huge fan of PebbyForevee- both her shop & Instagram. I still use my scrunch headband from her multiple times a week after having it for like three years now. 

Hair clip / Full transparency here, I haven’t had the chance to wear this bedazzled clip that I ordered. Didn’t expect a pandemic to hit! Once I’m back out in public I want to curl my hair and pin up one side with this clip for a fun night out.   I’m also eyeing these cute speckled claw clips.

Name necklace / These have become a little bit cliché but I still love my name necklace.

White Birch /  Not an Etsy shop, but I wanted to share a local company in Hillsboro.  They have two storefronts side by side- one for decor, and one for clothing/ jewelry/ accessories.  Check them out if you’re local! 

Helvetia Market / Another local shop I love is Helvetia Farm Market.  They sell all kinds of typical farmers market goods like produce, flowers, treats, but also have an amazing selection of things like hot sauce, marinades, a barista and wine bar, and some handmade items too. It’s a great place to get gifts and home decor.  

I’d love to hear all about your favorite Etsy shops! Thank you so much for reading and happy holidays!
