I love writing a monthly round up featuring ten of my current favorite sellers on Etsy. I think with larger sites it's so easy to get confused and lost... So I hope that this column has helped you find some new talent and is helping you navigate this massive indepedant superstore. Here are my favorite shops for the month of October and if you've missed previous months no worries here are my September faves July faves, and don't miss the affordable Etsy art round up for kids here. (I can't seem to locate my August faves, I think I skipped a month! Oopsie!). So, first up we have...

1. Perky Prints. Skinny Laminx is Heather Moore, a designer and writer from South Africa specializes in hand printed textiles.

2. Stray Cat Strut. Alyssa is an illustrator and product designer from Minneapolis, MN and sells cute softies in her shop called Penguin & Fish.

3. Just Stick It. Tasty Suite is a vinyl wall decal studio based in Salt Lake City.

4. Prairie Chic. Wheat Jenine is a Canadian jewelry designer whom I can't take my eyes off of lately.

5. Man Bling. Touch the Dutch is another Canadian designer (mostly jewelry, lots for men!) that I'm into right now that features the work of artist Anneke van Bommel.

6. Stamp It Up. Blossom Stamps in Detroit creates rubber stamps for embellishing gift wrap, cards, even walls and fabric.

7. Write On. Love letterpress and gift wrap? Smock Paper in Syracuse, New York creates some of the best I've seen on Etsy.

8. Just Eat (on) It. Dovetail Studio is ceramicists Josh and Margaret Smith in Lexington, KY.

9. Pretty Papers. Another great paper shop on Etsy is Earmark stationery and custom invitations run by Bridgette & Michael out of Ocean Beach, California.

10. Sitting Pretty. Austin-based Spruce Home is Amanda Brown and Lizzie Joyce who refinish and reupholster furniture and sell it on Etsy at SUPER prices. I purchased a chair from them and love it.

I hope that you've enjoyed my 10 Etsy Faves for October and perhaps you've found a few new favorites of you own.
