One of the best features about Etsy, the popular website that lets you buy and sell all things handmade, is the different ways to explore the site.  You can shop by color, by editors' picks, or by my personal favorite, locally.  Through Etsy, I discovered Kate Durkin.  A San Francisco artist who creates playful home items such as original works of art, pillows and tote bags, all under $65.  Kate works with a palette of subtle muted colors to create wonderfully original pieces that would be an excellent addition to any home.  To see more of her work, visit her Etsy page or website.
