Rustic Reach Out, Getting To Know You #26

Getting to Know You is a monthly slot where the Etsy Ireland team greets another team with a 50-50 cross team treasury and gives them a little exposure on our team blog. The idea is to mutually promote (and admire) shops from both teams.

Unleaving by Hextrover, Etsy Ireland team

With Autumn in the air, I had harvest, Halloween, and rustic decor in mind when I went in search of a team to feature. So this month, our guests are the Where Rustics Reign team. 

1196 shops strong, they are a large team like us and, as the name suggests, membership is open to anyone with a passion for rustics. They welcome anyone with an interest in what you'd find in a log cabin or barn, or on a ranch, farm, etc. Think country cottage, homestead, patchwork, burlap, upcycled wooden crates, vintage homeware and you get the idea.  Search for their items using the tag Rustics Reign Team. (Search for our team items with the tag craftyirelandteam)
