Yesterday, I was looking for an anklet to buy online. I have always loved anklets but the sad truth is I rarely find anklets in stores. Some stores do carry anklets but they just happen to be not my kind. So yesterday, I went to Amazon, Macy's and several other shopping sites to see if I could find an anklet that I could buy. After spending almost an hour, I came to my personal conclusion: women do not like wearing anklets! How come there are so limited choices available for anklet lovers?? Then accidentally, I bumped into a website  called www.etsy.com!

Although Etsy has been around for a pretty long time I never heard of them  before. While browsing the site, I learned that the site was featured in major TV networks, newspapers and magazines. Etsy is a virtual marketplace for home-based business owners. It is literally a heaven for people, who love handmade goods.

While browsing the jewelry on Etsy, I came across a few anklets that I absolutely loved. I ordered one right away. The woman who made it is a stay-at-home mom of two boys and she lives in Missouri. She shipped the anklet this morning and I cannot wait for it to arrive.

I browsed their baby dress and toy sections and trust me, the things that are on sale there are in one word, b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! I look forward to shopping on Etsy in the future.

Another great thing about Etsy is that since the merchandise there are hand-crafted, they are not produced in large quantities and hence, are unique. Besides, I believe in promoting home businesses and therefore, I look forward to making more purchases from Etsy in the days to come.
