I wanted to make sure I got there nice and early so that I could see all that the vendors had to offer. When I arrived at 9am, there was ALREADY a line AROUND THE BUILDING!

If you haven’t heard of Etsy, I’m not sure we can be friends! haha! Etsy is where the creative people who actually do the crafts they pin on Pinterest (and do them well) to then sell them! They have everything and anything! Want a mug that says “Hello? Is it tea you’re looking for” with a picture of Lionel Richie’s face on the other side (my personal favourite!)? They have it! Want the CUTEST outfit for your lil one’s 1st birthday cake smash photoshoot? They have HUNDREDS! Want to find a vintage Fisher Price cash register, and not one of the new ones they’re making to look vintage? They have that too! With vendors from all over the world, Etsy has become the go-to for all things creative and one-of-a-kind! This summer you can experience the fun of discovering new things on Etsy in person in your home town! With Etsy’s first ever #EtsyRoadTrip you can meet and mingle with some of your favourite sellers while shopping their one-of-a-kind pieces on the spot!
