  • Revival of stucco, cement and moldings
  • Embracing an antique way of dressing - go vintage!
  • Weddings.. are in ! But this time grooms are equally as important as the brides .  Be sure to include them in your vision.

    Welcome to SF Etsy

    We're a collective of over 2700 Etsy sellers in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

    The SF Etsy Street Team is 100% in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

    We condemn the violent acts, murders, crimes, and police brutality inflicted on the BIPOC community. These terrible and senseless acts must come to an end!

    As a team, we will continue to share and raise awareness for our community of artists, specifically, black, indigenous, and people of color.

    We urge you to make a purchase from a BIPOC artist, maker, dreamer and small business owner.

    ---------------------------
    Like the San Francisco Bay Area in which it is located, SF Etsy is a vibrant and diverse community, full of creativity.

    We strive to support and promote local Etsy sellers by sharing expertise and advice, hosting local shows and events, and providing a valuable network of local talent and resources.
