There’s an almost dizzying array of amazing products to be found on Etsy.com – everything from funky handknit scarves to exquisite retro hair pins – and we’re constantly amazed by this online treasure trove of quirky, unique and pretty things.

In that spirit, we just had to share some of our favorite spring fashion from Etsy.  We encourage you to support these independent designers, among others on Etsy!

When I was in grade school, Valentine’s Day was one of my favorite holidays. We’d spend the afternoon cutting out hearts and pasting them to white paper doilies to make valentines.  Then we’d gorge ourselves on Sweethearts and heart-shaped Red Hots and red fruit punch.  Life was good.

So it should come as no surprise I’m still a sucker for the holiday after all these years.  Here’s a collection of gifts that are perfect for your Valentine (or yourself)!

A pair of vintage lead type from an actual printing press hang from this necklace. Perfect for one of your initials and the initials of a loved one!

The best reason we can think of for inclement weather is probably a change of wardrobe. Tank tops, flip flops and sunny weather can get boring, right?

As a guest blogger for the contemporary online boutique ChickDowntown.com, I made the Jackie Kennedy-inspired collage above with the easy-to-use scrapbooking tool from Polyvore.com (check out our review of Polyvore and other fashion-related sites you need to know).

The set was featured on the ChickDowntown blog, along with a brief article on my obsession with vintage 1950’s style. I’ve been lusting after that bright orange Tibi 3/4 Sleeve Dress!
