Q: So many people are getting their home decor items from Etsy these days, and I think it's FANTASTIC to support small sellers. However, with so much to weed through, I am curious what people are finding to be their favorite sellers for prints, fabrics, throw pillows, and general knick knacks/decor that are moderately priced?

chartreuse-online has fun vintage items to use as is or to re purpose in new pieces.
Philly.com just posted their 5 favorites last night:
http://www.philly.com/philly/home/Etsy_roundup_5_bold_furniture_options_to_brighten_up_your_home.html
http://www.henatayebphotography.etsy.com for some architectural and travel photography..
Can you advise where that picture is from?
My blog Explore*Handmade, www.explorehandmade.com, is aimed at this exact issue--finding the best of handmade. I would suggest looking at this site as well as search Google blogs for other blogs that feature the best of handmade on Etsy and elsewhere. Also, you can sign up for the Etsy newsletter, which usually has very good products.

Great post btw...and nice to have new sites to visit in ETSY.

Oh, and how could I have forgotten all the drool-worthy vintage home dec and furniture stuff at Hindsvik? They're in Canada so the prices to ship furniture to the US are very high, therefore I've only bought small items.

Undoubtedly Andyrama for original prints. His Beatles and Bill Murray series are genuine genius.

This is a wonderful small shop, with superb vintage mid century modern furnishings.
Also some Victorian.
The shop owner is super responsive, and found a lamp for me in her inventory.
She will take special requests, and find the impossible!!

Wow! I just opened my very own Etsy shop yesterday (http://www.etsy.com/shop/thenmeetsnow) and it was due in part of shops that have inspired me such as:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/WiseApple
http://www.etsy.com/shop/RobertaGrove
http://www.etsy.com/shop/havenvintage
I also love the Scandinavian inspired prints from Handz:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/handz
1001vintage has a huge Etsy shop that carries amazing ceramics, lighting, sculpture and art...
And of course I have to plug my own shop which carries mid century objects as well as jewelry!
http://www.etsy.com/mascarajones
I love the towels and napkins from Oh Little Rabbit! http://www.etsy.com/shop/ohlittlerabbit?ref=usr_faveitems&atr_uid=9085727 I bought some as gifts and would really like someone to get me the set of Chicken print towels:)
I'd suggest that after you find some shops/artists you like on Etsy that you should then check out that proprietor's favorite shops and "liked" items. I tend to gravitate to other shop owners who have similar taste - I imagine that's the case for a lot of people.
Here's my plug for my vintage shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PlainsStatePicker (p.s. I'm a poor example of using a shop owner's favorites as a guide - I'm pretty new to Etsy so I don't have a robust list of favorites...yet!)
I'm a fan of Spread the Love, which was featured on AT in the past. Can't help but like the modern PA Dutch vibe, living in that area of the country. It's nice to support a local-to-me artist.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/spreadthelove
If you love books as design elements (as well as being great reads), might I recommend two very cool shops on Etsy.
The first is Pipi Pompon. She sells kooky books (Swingers' Guide for the Single Girl; Enjoy Your Skunks; Wonders of Victorian Engineering), vintage children's books, and color-based book collections.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/pipipompon
The second is Phillipa Finch, who specializes in paperbacks by specific mid-century book designers (Browse her Edward Gorey, Paul Rand, Milton Glaser sections).

Thanks to everyone posting cool shops and reasons why they like them, instead of just plugging their own shops and using this post as one big ad.

One of my favorite decore shops is www.WorleysLighting.etsy.com because I LOVE LOVE LOVE lighting like this. a combination of rustic and industrial lighting with antique style bulbs.

Your favorite shop is in fact the one who started to do very "close" prints after ReStyle get successful with their original Cathrineholm and other Scandinavian kitchenware prints. There was not anything like "cathrineholm print category" same like there is no Campbell's soup print category, it was done by one original artist and since then the style and ideas are copied. And now people will always came and say "I know very similar art", so sad for the original author.
BTW: some of my favorite etsy print stores:

Well, if true then that's too bad, though there are half a dozen shops on etsy with "similar" work but all different enough that IMO they don't seem like copies. Regardless, without a way for consumers to check that sort of thing, and with each shop citing "original art by me", it's usually down to which one we see first. And in my case, which accompanying text on the print that I liked better.

Oh wow, so many great etsy shops! Thanks for the tips guys! And thank you @japuputen for choosing my shop! :)
I have to say I agree that it was Jan from ReStyle who first came up with the idea of Catrineholm designs in artworks... Nonetheless, I will always choose his shop as a customer because his prints are just amazing! Really well done, amazing colors, typography, HQ print and they look very professional! They give every aparment an extra spark! So for me:

Thank you for your support ScuttledCuttle.
The person called 'catherineholm' who replied to your post above is none other than Jan from ReStyle! He posts comments bigging himself up, spreading his lies and slagging me off under different aliases all over the internet. I've got nothing to hide and prefer to post comments under a real name and for people to know who I am.
@Kloss_boss... Yes Jan did list his Cathrineholm prints before me but that doesn't mean that he had the idea before me does it? I've listed/launched many ideas/designs before him and he has then gone and ripped them off.
Unfortunately for Jan, he has a very nasty and vile attitude. He has messaged other sellers on Etsy who have dared to use anything retro, vintage or Mid Century Modern and been very threatening and intimidating towards them. He doesn't just want the biggest piece of the pie, he wants the whole lot!
He showed his true colours (again) a few weeks ago on the Etsy forums and pissed a lot of people off by saying...
"One thing for sure is etsys hidious plan to give same random exposure to everybody - even to shops doing this as hobby, is this fair? really? we work like mad whole days to get sales but then we cant be even found on site no matter how much we try (and I assure you - I do a LOT ) but some shops (who in the end sell 1 item a month) are everywhere."
Here is a link to Jan pretending yet again to be someone else, scroll down to the comments...

A lot of people have become wise to his antics and his arrogant attitude and his mask is slipping.
My IPhone cases have proven popular.
They look great in contemporary settings and rugged environments too.
