Around Main Line CEO and ePublisher Sarah Lockard was born and raised in Philadelphia’s western suburbs, known as the Main Line. Today Sarah shares her favorite Etsy finds (and sellers) from Philly and the surrounding suburbs. As she writes, “The streets of Philadelphia are alive with great stories that have yet to be told! It just made sense for me to seek out these fantastic local entrepreneurs and businesswomen who are talented artisans and handcrafters as well. The women I have met are so enthusiastic about their success on Etsy and I love the sisterhood we have established together.” Check out the entire post on The Storque, Etsy’s blog.
