I don't know whether it's because the sun is shining or because I've declared an unofficial Spring Break, but I am filled with a sudden urge to start making things. Following my discovery of the craft blogs I listed yesterday, I have now discovered the most delicious website for buying handcrafted items and craft supplies direct from the individuals who make them.
Etsy is like a marketplace for crafters. You can search for items/shops by category, by location, by time listed, or (and this is my favourite) by colour. When you find an item you like, you are directed to the individual 'shop' where you can see other items for sale and make your purchase. Easy, beautiful and lots of fun. This is one of the best designed websites I've come across in a long time - worth checking out even if it doesn't sound like your kind of thing!
