Have you heard of etsy? Today we're going to take a look at one of the sellers on there I've had the pleasure of working with. Before we continue I'd like to go into a little more detail on Etsy and what you can expect there for those who are unfamiliar with the website.

Last year, over $180.6 million-worth of goods were sold on etsy. The team behind this online marketplace for handmade crafts is helping many sellers offering them a platform to sell their merchandise. If you haven't been there yet, its quickly becoming the best place online If you're looking for handemade creations, vintage, and supplies for making art yourself.

In my opinion especially living in todays times, what makes this place different is that your not shopping for factory line goods made in china - you get something unique here which you will not find in stores. For this reason items you find on etsy also make great and thoughtful gifts for others.

Browsing Etsy is both exhilarating and exhausting. There is enough here to mount an astonishing museum exhibition. There is also plenty of junk. Most of all there is a dizzying amount of stuff.

I work with etsy shop owners on a weekly basis and personally look at hundreds of shops every month, working with some of the more dedicated ones. I've seen it all and I know what to look for in a good shop. Today we're going to be taking a closer look at one of the better shops you'll ever find on etsy and one that I highly recommend you browse and shop.

Today we're looking at 2heartsdesire on etsy. They specialize in handcrafted treasures and keepsakes!

Artist Bio:
Hearts Desire is a collaboration of talents between my husband and I. While he is toiling away in his workshop, I am full steam ahead in my office designing and creating greeting cards, scrapbooks and other paper items.

When he is finished creating a wooden wonder (and his pieces are wonderful), he brings them to me to add my artistic touch. We've been introducing more and more of his pieces without any painting, so that you, the customer, can decide what you want.

We can customize anything in our shop for you. All you need to do is ask. In fact, we thrive on handcrafting that something special that fits your needs. We believe that working on custom pieces keeps the brain fresh!

Please come in and browse, get your creative juices flowing and contact us for a piece that is a reflection of you!

This shop has nothing but positive feedback, which is a very good sign. I've also found them very pleasant to deal with myself. Looking at the prices they are most reasonable and you can get the items shipped to your door at low rates.
If you register on etsy you can also contact the owner via conversations if you have any specific questions. I highly recommend you take a moment to do this, as registration is easy and will allow you to more easily keep in touch when making your purchase. So what are you waiting for? Head over to their shop and find something nice! And while you are there, do not forget to favorite them and perhaps even like them on facebook or follow on twitter!
