Remember the
Etsy Challenge? Inspired by my love for Anthropologie (and my love for a good bargain), I searched Etsy for home decor similar to Anthro's vintage-inspired pieces. Now the Etsy challenge is back, with even more stores, and with a holiday twist.
The rules of the challenge are simple: find a covetable holiday item at a retailer, and then find a similar one for less on Etsy. Take a look at what I found.

11.14.12 at 02:08PM Hey there. Last Christmas, I hosted a cookie swap and one of our 'activities' was to make our own Mason Jar snow globes. They are super easy to put together and fun. You can find the mini trees and fake snow at any craft store this time of year. The rest of the details I found around the house/craft bin. posted by
