For example, there is a whole Etsy Austin collective, and they're going to be set up at SXSW this year selling goods and promoting Austin crafsters! I am absolutely going to stop by and say hello to them and peruse their wares. What I think is really cool about this Etsy group is that their goal is to establish these artists' names in Austin by giving support and encouragement to each other in life and in the Web. They do meetups and are really trying to help out each others' small businesses...so cool.
Here are some Etsy Austin wares...
