"Twist" and Shout

How awesome is Etsy? The site allows any arts and crafts type to display and sell their creative wares, and accessory-addicted folks can find one-of-a-kind pieces that are legitimately handcrafted.
I especially love the girlishly vintage, shabby chic jewelry of Twist Style, created by a Richmond, Virginia artist using recycled and re-purposed materials.The Bloom rings are made of antiqued bronze with a Swarovski crystal center, and as the artist says, are "like a corsage for your hand." Another great Twist Style idea: turning ceramic pottery shards into striking necklaces-cum-conversation pieces. The inventory changes weekly and is always unique, so there's always something pretty to look at.
