If you're a big fan of all things Etsy, you probably have asked yourself this very question, "How do I find quality shops on Etsy?"  It's a recurring theme for many people and we have the perfect solution for you!  We're Amber of Red Tile Studio and Nanako of Pig + Fish - we maintain this blog together, but we're also Etsy shop owners and co-chairs of a team on Etsy called Elite16.   Our members have been hand selected for their unique products  + eye for style.   Every month we hold an Etsy Style Guide Challenge where we ask our members to curate collections around a set theme to bring you some of the best that Etsy has to offer!  Using the Etsy treasury system which allows you to showcase 16 of your favorite items together in a mini gallery setting, we present items in beautifully curated shopping guides.  It's an awesome way to navigate Etsy + find new items!  You see... by taking you Inside Etsy, we help you find those quality shops!


This month's theme is, Woo-Hoo, It's Summer!  A launching pad for inspiration, it's always so much fun to see how each person builds their shopping guides around the theme.  Each month we pick a winner and an item from the winners shop will be featured in the top row of each submission - Anna of Etsy shop StudioByTheForest is this month's featured shop!   We'll be highlighting collections here over the next 2 days, but you can see our full list here!
