I’ve been perusing Etsy the last few days because I am trying to convince my friend Bryce, the solo traveler, girlfriend getaway sidekick and talented designer, to get her own shop and I need to make a good case. Look, she’s already got a great start with this travel shoe bag…

I have also been getting lost on Etsy, as one can often do, looking into vintage items because I love things that have a story and a history behind them.
Searching for something antique, I stumbled upon tippleandsnack’s shop and found this globe which is from post WWII around the late 40’s early 50’s. My grandparents had a globe in their house that I always spun and inspected every time I visited when I was younger. It was old and delicate and beautiful and every time I see a globe like that one, I get nostalgic.

This Traveling Wine Wrap from Nancy M. Designs is right up my alley too. I just can’t get over how cute and creative it is. You are meant to bring your wine to the host/hostess of a party or get together in this beautiful wrap and each recipient writes his/her name and city on the front before passing it along to the host/hostess at their next event.

Getting excited for the next season of Mad Men – as if you couldn’t tell with my recent Joan-style dress from last weekend, a look that I will pull off nicely with my red hair – vintage items from the early 60s have been catching my eye. This “Lady Baltimore Weekender” suitcase from Where Did You Get That is just plain classy. And, I’ve been needing a simple carry on since the suitcase that I own is part of a set that was split up between my family members- I got the big one when I went off to study in Ireland.

As I continue to gather up proof points to convince my friend to fulfill her creative side, do you have any advice or favorite shops I could send her way whilst I indulge my new addiction?
Glad you caught the Etsy bug!! I love their homegoods too! And that wine case does look like the perfect hostess gift

Looove the globe! My grandparents used to have one too, and they would always tell me to spin and wherever my finger was when it stopped is where I need to travel to when I was older… Man were they psychic or what!? Haha. I’m just starting to get into Etsy too. Found the cutest camera strap.

I can become sucked into Etsy for hours. And sometimes, just on a few things.
I love these items. There is something about globes that always draw me to them.

I absolutely ADORE Etsy and everything you can find on it. I’m particularly loving that wine wrap. And the suitcase is totally fun, too, but I’m worried that it would be to small/heavy for what I use my suitcases for these days…
