This isn't the first time you have heard the idea. We know you love to shop local, we do too. So, here are some of Etsy's (and our friends!) faves for you.
As co-founder of frankie magazine, Lara's love of all things pretty, vintage and handmade has become a massive part of the title's success. And while she's lucky enough to claim her almost-daily Etsy visits as 'work time', it's not all for the mag. A quick poke around her home will uncover dozens of Etsy finds.
The frankie gift paper book contains 10 sheets of unique '50s-inspired designs printed on high-quality perforated paper ready for you to rip, fold, stick, craft and tape to your heart's content. Beautifully bound in a special protective cover, it's a must for vintage lovers, paper aficionados and givers of awesome presents.
