How to Find the Best of Canada's Etsy Shops

There are tons of great Canadian Etsy shops and you can find them in several ways. Doing a search may be a bit strange---if you have your local preferences on. For instance, if you live in the States, or even in Canada searching for vintage will usually bring your local preferences up first (You can see this search in the left hand size of your screen, refer to image #1 above and it normally auto populates and defaults to your local area.) Meaning if you live in Surrey, Canada,  you may not see Montreal's shops right away. Or if you live in York, Pennsylvania USA you will see your local shops first, and not even realizing you are missing out on other searches all over the place. This all depends on how your searches are set up and you will want to broaden the search you can uncheck your local location and type in "Canada" to get all the great Etsy shops and items (#1).  Then verify this by making sure the top of your screen has "Items in Canada" (#2 above).  This process will then allow you to check off vintage, handmade, or supplies.  You can apply this same prinicpal to whatever country it is you wish to shop.

Or, you can just go into Etsy's Canada teams and see what's shaking.

Vintage Hawaiian Breezy Blouse on Etsy $14.00

Shop owner Lara from Asheville, NC explains her love for vintage, "My love of vintage started as a child. My grandma always took me to thrift stores when I was little and would let me pick out whatever I wanted. My mom likes to remind me that I would change five times a day when I was around the house, switching from leggings and a t-shirt to a gold lame cape to a Victorian silk gown (five times too big for me, of course)."

Vintage 70's Mini Dress on Etsy, $32.00

Lara continues, "This vintage obsession continued through my teen years as I was determined to be different from all the other kids. No better way to stand out than to wear something no one else had! In college, my roommate (and quickly best friend) had that same zest for thrifting. We loved trading clothes and having dress-up parties in our apartment."

Super cool metallic gold vintage purse, $30 on Etsy.

Vintage Clothing at AnnieRose Vintage

$65 someone buy me this, quick!

Annie Rose Vintage has a great style all her own. She finds the chic and hip bohemian style vintage clothing and sometimes adorns it with her own touch.  She says, "Upcycled and Vintage Clothing with a tattered shabby bohemian twist."  Lynn's beautiful eco-friendly vintage finds are often embellished, refashioned and upcycled for you!Check out some of these finds from this seller's Etsy shop!

$115, would look great with khaki colored leggings and boots, stay comfortable but look so dressed up!

Lynn is from Dickinson, Texas and her southern belle style shows in these lovely creations.  I would be privileged to wear one of her items. They are couture all their own and her items sell rather quickly making them a hot commodity. In fact no sooner did I post up a dress on the Etsy Recycler's Guild site last week did it sell out of her store.

$62 and so worth it this tunic top dress.

Lynn pushes the envelope on design. In fact I think if she entered one of those "American's Next Top Designer" shows she could win.  She envisions something for clothing like no other designer. You really need to tell anyone you know who loves vintage clothing or one of a kind pretty dresses, jackets, or blouses.  Not all clothing does she upcycle, some vintage she finds are just lovely on their own!

Ga Ga for her clothing.

Vintage pink sweater, $28

I should also mention that she makes these cute little pouches that are sold in her other shop, Brico Jewelry Designs where she makes goregeous necklaces, pins to embellish your clothing. I just adore these handbag - tote- pouches!  Here is one:

 

$29 at BricoJewelryDesign and so worth it. LOVE IT.
