For a site that’s just over four years old, Etsy.com has made quite an impression.

Focusing on handmade items and hard-to-find vintage pieces, Etsy seems to have hit on a unique market.  And as more people look for new ways to bring in a little extra cash, I expect that Etsy will keep right on growing.

More esoteric than Amazon and eBay, the online store offers categories like geekery, pets, weddings, jewelry, and art.  It’s a great site to visit if you’re looking for a unique housewarming gift, pet accessories, a fun piece of jewelry, or just about anything craft-related that you can think of.

Etsy also has a blog that has shopping guides, a how-to section, videos, and even more Etsy-related goodness.

A lovely, beautiful collection of baubles, knick-knacks, and assorted other items you didn’t realize you couldn’t live without, Etsy.com is definitely worth a few minutes of your time.
