Lovely Clusters the Online Gallery!

For the past couple of weeks I have been working on a project that showcases artists and designers that carry items that are beautiful and dreamy! The website has a gallery of featured sellers and a product area with links to category and color clusters. Here is an example of a pink color cluster on the site!
I have always wanted to create a website that would be a place for people to go where they can easily find really beautiful creations. Etsy can seem so overwhelming with its vast amount of shops and it can sometimes feel like a flea market where you are rummaging through to find the special shops that you can relate to. I noticed that there are quite a lot of people out there that were having the same issue and so starting up a site that links to my favorite sellers existing etsy or dawanda, etc seemed like the way to go. I wanted to have at least 20 sellers before I announced this exciting new venture and now it is finally here to share with all of you lovely readers! I also want to mention that I am fortunate enough to be working with a dear friend of mine Vicki Dvorak from Simply Hue. Her taste is really similar to mine so we will be curating different artists from around the world to be featured on the site. We have been fortunate enough to have these lovely artists sign up to be on the new site so far!
If you are a seller of beautiful lovely items please let us know about it. You can contact us HERE. Please visit the site at www.lovelyclusters.com or click on the "visit our shop" button on the top right hand corner that is now located on this blog. If you love the site and you want to share a page with your friends on twitter, facebook, tumblr etc you can by clicking on the share button at the bottom of almost every page. If you want to stay in the know of upcoming artists, giveaways and specials on the site you can sign up to our newsletter HERE or become a fan of our facebook page HERE. Hope you like it! Can you tell I am excited?!

Rachel,

This is brilliant! Such a great idea... It's something I've been thinking about a lot here in London too. Etsy is so daunting, and for every wonderful thing, there's a lot of less desirable stuff too. You're a curator of Etsy!

Oh my gosh everything looks so great Rachel, seriously!!!! I looked at the site and I was in Etsy heaven, you did such a wonderful job and I bet the Etsy sellers are more than grateful for your features. ;) I might consider having you feature my shop for a couple of months, but I might want to post more before that. I will let you know when I decide. I put your site under my favorite sites to check out on my blog, hope it goes well sweetie. You have such a big heart!
