FABULOUS 4TH OF JULY FINDS ON ETSY 

As I was researching 4th of July holiday fashions, I ran upon a really cute top being sold on Etsy.  I was a little surprised, as I hadn’t really looked around Etsy too much beyond wanting a handmade gift at one time or another.  What I did run across were fabulous 4th of July finds on Etsy that go far beyond handmade crafts!

 

SO I SHIFTED GEARS – I decided to hunt down a collection of fabulous 4th of July “finds” instead!

But first, I’ll share a few traditionally “crafty” items that are made especially for this wonderful holiday that celebrates our country’s finest hour.   I’m always amazed at the level of craftsmanship demonstrated by the fine “makers” of such lovely handmade items.
