State + Meant

by Kiley Baker State + Meant is an art series of state collages comprised of vintage postcards. These postcards are hand-selected from antique stores found across the country, scanned, and assembled into a collage of staple places found from the state of which they represent.


"I was no stranger to the grueling 9 hour college-commute from my Baltimore hometown to Cincinnati, so one day I decided to stop at an antique store in West Virginia to split up the monotony of the drive. I scored the jackpot on about 30 old linen Cincinnati postcards that I instantly fell in love with, but had no game plan for. I only knew that I wanted to create art with them as a way to nostalgically look back on my college city. Building the concept for State+Meant took me approximately two years from this date, but my sole purpose for this project was to capture the feeling of being home. Home is a shapeshifting concept. What better way to honor the novelty of places that so many call home than through postcards? They are the bridge between homes and hearts, and these maps act as a reminder that no matter where you are, you are to embrace the state in which you’re meant to be in."

HB Lettering Co.

by Hannah Bickford


HB Lettering Co. offers a variety of custom, hand-lettered products such as stickers, prints, journals, and ornaments. Local customers can also order custom wedding signs!


“When I started college almost 2 years ago I had no time for a job in the workplace but, I really wanted some business experience. That is what prompted me to open my shop. I love being an Etsy maker because I have full control over my schedule and the products I choose to sell. I still can’t believe people from all over the country buy my products!  No two people have the same handwriting so I love that I have a unique talent to share with others! I hope I can be an influence to other young makers who have big dreams!”

Mars. Bars. Art

by Maria Ahmad


I’m the owner of MarsBarsArt, a small Etsy gift shop. I like to make unique gifts.


Unlike many shops on Etsy, I make various kinds of things, like decoupaged magnets, origami jewelry, melted crayon paintings, and am starting to create decoupaged boxes, tote bags, and masquerade masks. I make and sell whatever I feel like, and don’t like to confine myself to creating just one type of item. I am always experimenting and trying new kinds of arts and crafts. I love Etsy because it is simple to use and most of my buying and selling experiences on it were positive.
