Diving into Etsy with the D Listers.

Revolution Co-Op opened it's virtual doors 10 days ago. So excited to finally embark on this new venture.




The "shelves" are slowly filling with great stuff, and even better I've found an amazing team of fellow Etsyians who are all about aiding one another in the pursuit of success - The Etsy D Listers aka The D Team. So far they've been incredible in helping get the word out about Revolution Co-Op. I can't wait to get to know more of them.

As my first blog I want to introduce some of them to you, gentle reader. If you like what you see I encourage you to investigate their shops further. They all have so many wonderful things to offer.


One of the team leaders is Designing Impressions. She has wonderful fiber art. From cute animal backpack pulls to practical and environmentally conscious crocheted bath scrubbies... everything is adorable.

As summer begins to wind down you can keep a little piece of the season's glory with you forever. Lizbeth's Garden specializes in handcrafted beaded tassels, gorgeous dried and pressed flowers, and even more. I love this grape hyacinth sprig:

One of a Kind Baby Design is a shop that specializes in custom gifts. From Event/Wedding favors to sweet children's hair accessories, and amazing custom growth charts/clothing trees. You are bound to find something special.

A great vintage shop is Nanny's Rose. Her selection is dizzying and delightful. She has a number of lovely boudoir pieces, perfect for your dresser, great vintage books, and all manner of decorative pieces. One of my favorites is this Asian Flute Player:

Another great shop on the D Team is Imagine It Scrapped. Focusing on sweet jewelry and creatively designed and decorated keepsake and jewelry boxes. I just love the wide variety of choices, from ballerina themed to punk!


Sunny Days Jewelry Box



Lastly is Granny's Nook Treasures, a new shop that currently features beautiful ceramic and porcelain pieces. All the items in this shop are from a personal family collection, so they all have a story to tell. Be sure to check back frequently as more items are being added regularly.

I hope you have fun exploring all that these great shops have to offer, and don't forget to stop by Revolution Co-Op, too!

See you next week!
