Etsy-A Global Market

I have been searching long and hard for etsy shops that personify the Global Market theme, and here a few I found.

http://threekissesxxx.etsy.com/ is from Slovakia and makes some really nice jewelry. Even though I don't wear decorative jewelry pieces, this is something I would consider.

http://mustlovehomedecor.etsy.com/ is from the US and has some wonderful decorator pillows.
If your style is a bit traditional with a twist of cool, then you need to check out this shop. I am thinking of dressing up my rather boring taupe sofa.

http://meplusmolly.etsy.com/ is from the UK and does some really unique OOAK purses.


As you can see, etsy truly is a global market, and you will never know when or were you will find that next "it thing". I decided a few weeks ago to make the plunge and join the etsy international set. I purchased a good quality postal scale(it arrived yesterday) and I visited the post office to ask questions and pick up a quantity of customs forms. Since I just redid my shop photos, I hope to get the new international shipping on my shop soon. I have wanted to do this since I opened my shop earlier this year, but was so afraid of doing anything that I could label as risky.
But, after reading all of the threads in the etsy forums about international shipping, I decided that I COULD do this too. I will write more when I actually have some experience shipping international.
