If you’re like me, you love to find ways to help the local economy. I call it, keeping it local! I have recently talked to several people this year who want to buy their holiday gifts locally. It got me thinking about this post that I have been wanting to write for a few months.
It all started this summer, when I saw some cute palette board signs on a local facebook sale group. I bought some from the seller and then asked her if she sells them on Etsy. I was excited to visit her shop and find some other gorgeous signs.
That got me thinking about other local Lancaster County citizens who sell on Etsy. I thought to myself, “wouldn’t it be neat to feature locals who sell their things on Etsy?”
So here it is! All of these Etsy shops are run by Lancaster County residents. The shops range from vintage, to artistic, to artwork and design, to soaps, to furniture.
Even if you’re not looking for anything to buy, I think you will find this post inspiring and intriguing — just to see all the creativity that comes from those who live in Lancaster County!

RoseandNest
Val loves creating things and doing it in her home! Making candles has been her most recent endeavor. In her younger years she collected old bottles that she found in the woods behind her house.
She has always found jars and containers intriguing....but what to put in them? Candles are great fun because once they burn down you can reuse the glass jar for something else! ...and endless scents never get boring! She hopes you enjoy browsing her shop. If you were looking for something you don't see, just ask her about it!

Tomboy Togs
I was first inspired to start sewing "girl" clothing in non-traditional fabrics by the girls in my son's preschool. Yes, many of the girls liked princesses, but there were a few that also liked things like dinosaurs, and batman.
Even though they liked "boy" things, they were still girls. They still want to dress like girls and look like girls, and twirl like girls. That's why I started this, inspired by my young friends who like to twirl and dance, but want to do it while wearing dinosaurs.

Inspired by Justice
I have always loved photography and capturing that moment in time and being able to share it with those close to me. Now I share those moments with everyone for all to enjoy.
The sewing side of me came from my great grandparents. They made hundreds of quilts together, each doing their own unique part. Another one of my great grandmothers sewed Cabbage Patch doll clothing. So what can I say I must have been destined to sew!
Growing up I began to collect material hoping to one day make something great from it like they had with all of their quilts. As the pile of fabric grew, I knew I needed to get to it. Whether I see a piece of fabric and know the perfect project right away or it sits on my shelf for a few months or years, each item gets made into something beautiful that I am now sharing with you.
New ideas are always forming, the possibilities are endless!My shop, Inspired by Justice, is named after my first rottweiler, Justice. My husband and I adopted her at age 9 knowing she had severe arthritis. She sadly was only with us for 6 months before crossing the rainbow bridge. I have dedicated my shop to her.

the moon and back crafts
Hi, my name is Grace and I'm 11 years old and in fifth grade. I am the owner of this Etsy shop, "themoonandbackcrafts". I love swimming, school, riding my bike and having fun with my family. I also love crafting. I turned in my love of making things into helping others too!
I started when I was about four years old. I set up a stand at my preschools' holiday craft show and sold reindeer food to raise money for my preschools' library. This is now my signature item at Christmas! Once my first show ended, I knew I wanted to do it again.
Then, when I was about five, I went to kindergarten in a new school and still did the craft show again. Only I donated all my proceeds to kids in need. I have continued ever since! This year the craft show was canceled, so I decided to find another way to sell my things instead of just selling them once a year. I decided to make an Etsy Shop!
min mod mob
My name is Allison and I’m so glad to meet you. I am a busy mom of two little boys. We homeschool and are involved in a lot of different activities so we’re always on the go.
I started minmodmob as a way to be able to step back and spend a little time on something I enjoy doing, all things crafts! Sometimes as wives, moms, friends, etc., we spend a lot of time doing things for others and we forget to take time to invest in ourselves. So that’s how this came about.
We all love to create spaces for our children where they can experience, love, peace, wonder, and beauty. That’s what our mobiles offer to spaces. Whether it be a nursery, reading nook, teepee, or just that little corner of your room that needs a little something extra special.

Includes my 6 piece Photo Puzzle sets, 2" Photo Ornaments, Wedding Table Numbers, 5" Centerpiece cubes, 8x8 Wall Hangings, and 4" & 3" Photo Cubes. I also accept BULK orders for larger events! Please message me if interested!
My shop came about to my surprise. I started making our baby block sets when I had so many baby showers to go to one summer. Then from there I found store in Strasburg, PA to sell them in and it just grew from there as I stepped out and created this Etsy shop! The next year I expanded to photo block puzzles, using the many engagement photos I had of weddings to come- of course from there, our photo blocks expanded too!
Although I could not do all this without my wonderful husband, cutting the blocks for me from recycled wood, and making sure I have the sizes I need OR the blessing of God as He has just taken this small business further than I expected!
the wizards hat
We have been local for years, part of the Manheim chamber of commerce in the past, and we closed our brick and mortar stores in Lititz in 2011 and our Manheim one in 2012, and our stand in the Green Dragon in 2017, all under the dba of The Wizards Hat.
Shop features jewelry and fresh hand crafted Incense and hand crafted soaps, bath bombs and oils! We are Lancaster counties largest Metaphysical Supplier.

The crystals are all shipped with a description card, cleansed with moonlight or sage and handled with love and care.

Many of the organic dried flowers are from their organic gardens.We hope you enjoy our art and spa products as much as we do, please review us before you leave our shop.
Brit With Stitches
Over the years I've been searching for the perfect medium to express myself with. I've always been a serious crafter, and I've tried just about everything, but there's always something new that piques my interest!
In April of 2019, I was looking for a new hobby that was relatively portable, as I'm constantly on the go. I picked up a small cross stitch kit at a local craft store and that was it.
By May, I was purchasing embroidery patterns online and decided I wanted to start making my own patterns and projects. It has been love ever since.
I enjoy playing with different textures and mediums, making pieces that will strike up a conversation and bring some joy and sunshine to whomever sees them. I also enjoy the classic embroidery of florals and typography, and love to create heirloom custom pieces.
