I got a ton of results, but most were items made or being sold by a seller in Richmond, not Richmond-related items, which is what I was looking for. But then I saw some awesome items, and I bought my favorite!
First, there was this Richmond pendant, made from a map:
There are a ton of buttons made out of old newspaper articles about Richmond or maps - do people accessorize with these?
There are some awesome artists around here, like the one who made this drawing of Maymont...
....and the one to took this picture of the Rivah:
We all know my love for these photo collages, with local themes:
My absolute favorite was a wallet made out of a local map and (I assume) covered in clear contact paper...it's a simple one that only fits a couple pieces of plastic and some cash, and the perfect size if you just want to throw it in your pocket, rather than carry around your purse. I decided that I neeeeeeeded it, and at $6, I didn't think I could go wrong, right?
Isn't it cute?
I've been using it for a few days, and it seems pretty durable...hopefully we will be friends for a long time.
What's your favorite Etsy find? Do you have your own Etsy site? If so, let me know so I can favorite you and take a stroll through your shop!
Aww the wallet is awesome!! :)
