I just discovered www.etsy.com a couple of months ago. I've looked around, but haven't bought anything so far.
For those of you who buy from the site, can you point me in any good directions? It seems like I do a search for something and come up with so many results that I don't have the time to look at them all.
Are there any artists that you search for, or do you use keywords?
If you do a search here there are a number of threads about etsy. Here's one where people posted favorite sellers and search strategies http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=44784&p=3&topicID=10206400

I search for keywords too. I really only look at jewelry there, so I've searched for hammered bangles, stack rings, horseshoe necklace, coral necklace, etc. Once I find something that looks good, I go to the seller's shop and look at his/her other stuff. You can save sellers as favorites too.
