takebacktonight Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a Catholic Etsy group? (Etsy is a shopping site for independent artists and designers) Here's a list of really cool shops: I have tried my best to choose authentic-ish shops..

Do you have pictures of them? I might like to buy from you For etsy, I think it costs a few cents per item to list and 3% of each sale...but don't quote me on that. There are tons of other rosary shops but I couldn't list them all. There are also tons of quality supply shops that are inexpensive, too. I sound like a salesperson, I just find the stuff I buy there is so much better than in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought of a couple different things. I would like a shop that could build up the Kingdom of God without the people who are buying from it really knowing, ya know? I really think I would enjoy designing and crochet and/or sewing children's clothing and accessories. I love the idea of making clothing for little girls. Things that would be modest and age-appropriate for them but colorful, contemporary, and affordable. Something they would really like to wear... princessey. Something that would make it fun for little girls to dress like and remain little girls! I have also thought of designing women's clothing with a flashback/retro vibe. Very girly. Very modest. It would just be a side-hobby shop though and maybe it will never come about... There are so many young Christian and Mormon designers coming out now and opening up their own shops on the net. Like [url="http://www.christa-taylor.com/"]Christa Taylor[/url]. She is such an inspiration. I love my faith. I love to create. I love fashion. I love "the good ol' days..." I would want to bring it all together in whatever I created... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takebacktonight Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Cool! There is so much kids stuff it would be easy to get ideas.. I LOVE the clothes on etsy but rarely can I afford to buy anything (especially now, prices have shot way up in the last year). I had never heard of Christa Taylor before. Her stuff is so gorgeous! I've always tended towards more modest stuff, even in my super left-wing anything goes days, but my major problem is that I am bigger *ahem* 'up top' so the tops that cover usually don't fit or just sort of defeat the point. If you can solve that problem, you have my money! Forgot to add: There is actually a lot of cool muslim clothing out there as well. They don't wear anything tight so there are lots of pretty tunics and flowy pants and stuff. Even if it's just for inspiration...

TotusTuusMaria Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Here are some "Catholic" things I have "favorited" in the past: [url="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18973073"]St. Joan of Arc Box[/url] - absolutely loved this box. I was going to get it for a friend for her birthday (her patron saint is St. Joan) but it sold before I could get it.
