In my book, few things beat the feeling of discovering a cutting edge design right before it breaks out into the crowd. Etsy provides a unique venue that houses a wealth of emerging artists. When shopping on Etsy, you have the rare opportunity to directly support the designer, free of the middle man. Each of the finds below comes from a fresh shop, which has either opened within the past six months or has few enough sales that they may have flown under your radar. Be sure to check them out now while the items are fresh and you can proclaim that you knew them when...

Great new shops!! Some very innovative ideas!
As a fairly new Etsy shop I appreciate this segment!
I've vowed to only shop on Etsy for all of my holiday shopping
For all of Nov I'll discount 20% for my entire shop!

VelveteenHabbit
The chance to be recognized is #1. The support from fellow etsy staff and artists has to be #1.5!!! I'm reminded daily by articles, fair treatment of all artists, etsies supporting other etsies by offering help, feedback and business. Rare criticism is given GENTLY. Thank you all!! Love Felicity Fascinator!!

greeniemarie
Thank you Etsy!! I am having so much fun in my new shop and I so appreciate being featured in this collection!
whiskerkisses
Thanks for adding the Captcha, but I guess it doesn't stop real people from posting commercial ads. I think the mud flap girls add a certin "charm" to this posting.
Anyway, I love your newbie picks! I would love to see more articles about newer less featured artists!
OctoberMansion
Even though harvest and Halloween are my favourite times of the year...I still have a soft spot for spring and little chicks like Henry Bird from BentBranch.
Horticopia
What a great collection of new shops :)
Welcome to Etsy.
Happy Gardening!!
natjacstudio
Love Life of a Zinnia and Marsh Wren. My Etsy store is new too, started September 2009.
BookOfArt
Thank you so much for including my DREAM book on the related items. To be in a Storque article, Gift Guide and Front page all in a couple days is such a great feeling! My store has almost sold out with the exception of one more book. These past 6 months on Etsy have been so wonderful~ THANK YOU!!!
yenjewelry
nice finds and a great feature to showcase newbies who still haven't cracked the nut here yet. as a designer who is also new to etsy, i hope to see more of these features.

happy weekend
Tias
It must be so exciting for Etsy to be on the source of all these fresh new designers and artists. I sometimes forget how wonderful this community is and how easy it is for us to be part of it. And sometimes, when I find an amazing store I can't believe that it is all designed and handmade by one person. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
urbanknitfits
OOoh nice work! Thanks for sharing Mary, I know what you mean about finding new places and designers on here! I've been a long time etsy fanatic and love it when I stumble on a great find!
We are new on the block too and just had our very first sale! Stumble upon us with this helpful link!!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/urbanknitfits

JetWhitePonytail
I would LOVE to see this as a weekly feature! I often see the SAME sellers featured on the front page and then storque and then quit your day job, etc. Great products yes, but let others break in! Keep promoting the newbies! =)
OneClayBead
I've found some new favs for sure here- especially love the menorrah!
GoldyFox
unfortunately, my shop also fits into this category. I think there are definitely some under-appreciated sellers out there. Undiscovered shops should be featured more often.
20BucksorLess
the title really threw me. Eewww on new kids on the block. But YEA on cool new shops and items.

Thanks for featuring me. I really appreciate it. I can tell a lot of people check this out, because, between this spotlight and the gift guide, my hits on that one necklace featured in both places went up by 500 in two days. Thanks everyone for checking me out!
