For those of you not in the know, Etsy is a rapidly growing online marketplace for buying and selling all sorts of handmade goods. Etsy allows you to shop by color, time, place,
material, or even request custom objects through a process called Alchemy. There’s a huge wealth of indie shopping finds on Etsy because it’s such an easy way for independent artists and designers to showcase and sell their work. Starting now, I’ll be focusing on a few Etsy finds once a week, in order to help bring well-deserved attention to some of the artists found on Etsy.
The recent Etsy discovery that makes me wish I could wear earrings on a regular basis are the :nea: Deploy earrings by French-Canadian jewelry designer Janick Gravel. These delicate earrings are crafted from colored goose biot, and they’ll only set you back $22 (that’s U.S. currency). You can find the Deploy earrings in a variety of other colors, as well as handcrafted necklaces and other jewelry at the :nea: Etsy shop.

Upon doing a search on Etsy for “motorcycle”, I discovered this gem: the tinymeat Moto Checkbook Cover. Created using vintage Japanese motorcycle art on the outside and paint swatches on the inside, the checkbook cover is lined with sturdy vinyl and has pockets for both your checkbook and check register. For just $12 for this handcrafted beauty, you can’t beat the price! If motorcycling isn’t your thing, you can find other checkbook covers, as well as wallets, passport keepers and iPod cases at the tinymeat Etsy shop.
