If you don’t shop at Etsy, you really should. You can get artistic, unique items and support individuals rather than big corporations. Granted, most people can’t afford to buy all their kids’ clothing from Etsy stores, but it is fun to occasionally get a special outfit that you love. However, Etsy is not just about clothing – there are so many creative shops and items for decorating a nursery. It is also just fun to browse for inspiration.

Here’s a list of Etsy shops where I love to browse and shop.

Cottage Mama

Cottage Mama makes adorable one-of-a-kind modern vintage dresses. She loves to do custom orders and has a blog where she gives sewing tutorials. You can also follow @TheCottageMama on Twitter. Price range = $4 to $70

Olive and Ollie

Another adorable clothing shop that also has modern vintage dresses as well as appliquéd everyday wear. And she’s another fun person to follow on Twitter at @oliveandollie. Price range = $11 to $45

Gracious May

These are seriously cute baby shoes. Maryjanes, Eskimo Boots, loafers and more… Even though these shoes are more for the parents’ enjoyment than the baby’s, they would make such adorable first baby shoes. Price range = $30-$60

Shopop88

There are even Etsy stores for making custom dresses and bedding for your dolls. shoppr88 has darling dresses for the American Girl Dolls and you can get a matching dress for your little girl. Price range = $10-$30

NouWall

This shop has great decals for decorating walls that can transform a room from boring to friendly and fun. The wall decals are nice because they are simple to put up and don’t make a mess. And they’re easy to peel off when you kid gets older. Price range = $25 to $200

CarrotFever

There are tons of shops to find adorable mobiles, but one of my favorites is CarrotFever. Their mobiles are whimsical and simple. Price range = $15 to $40

Cute Kid Creations

Cute Kid Creations is another Etsy jewel. This shop makes personalized door signs, nursery wall letters, and bow holders. It’s a great idea for baby showers. Price range = $12 to $40

So, these are some of my favorite baby and kid-focused Etsy shops. Which ones do you like?
