A Taste For Fresh Etsy Shops.

Etsy's "Taste Test" is an excellent way to find the perfect, personalized (...insert any noun here...). Simply pick your favorite items and let Etsy do the rest. The end result is a targeted collection of handmade and vintage goods geared to your specific tastes. Seriously, it's shopping made ridiculously easy.

We take the taste test weekly and love what we find. And better still? Many of our results are often magnificent fresh shops, like these:

Crocheted wrist warmers, from Maybe The White Dog.

Set of 3 vintage brass candlesticks, from Goree Lane.

Woven magnet, from Symbolic Interaction Studio.

Are you an "extreme" grocery shopper? (image from TLC)

We were perusing Re-Nest this morning and ran across an interesting phenomenon, "extreme couponing", based on the TLC show of the same name. While we're not fans of stockpiling unhealthy foods (cereals, sodas, boxed snacks), we're definitely fans of saving cash. And that makes "extreme couponing" an interesting shopping tactic.

Are you patient. Are you thorough? Are you...extreme!? Well then, "extreme couponing" may be for you. Read more over at Re-Nest.
