Etsy Finds: Global Market


Story by daniellexo Published on April 30, 2009 in Spotlight	Photo by placed

Take a virtual stroll through a far away artisan market by using Etsy's Shop Local tool. I like to check out what artists are up to in Paris, Amsterdam, Montreal, Sydney, Japan, London, and other international cities. Today I'll share with you some of the new international artists I found via Shop Local. Help me welcome them by checking out their incredible work!
