Nautical finds: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
Have you heard of eBay Collections? I recently attended the launch of this new aspect of the eBay shopping experience and it’s fair to say it has changed my perspective on the site. Truth be told, I never really shopped on eBay as I found the sheer wealth of products available to buy overwhelming (ironic for a self confessed shopaholic!). The introduction of eBay collections means users can create boards (much like you would on Pinterest) and curate product collections in a series of themes. You can follow other people’s collections to get inspiration and shop their favourite finds from across eBay, too. SO if you know that you want to buy a piece of colourful furniture or need that perfect nautical inspired buy, the edited boards make it easier to find. I’ve pulled together some of the maritime designs I’ve discovered across the site for my Nautical Interiors collection. After this long and cold winter I’m craving for that sand-between-my-toes-and-salty-hair feeling of being by the sea. Roll on summer – until then I’ll just have to bring the beach home! Anything catching your eye, friends?

Yes! This really did make eBay much more interesting (and easier to use/search). Love those nautical finds.

@Azu – Totally made the site easier and more inspiring to use! Glad you liked the picks! 🙂
This customer centric way of encouraging/advising on shopping is the future. Nice nautical picks!
@Susan – I agree; it’s a good way to personalise a huge site.
Great weathered detailing on the life ring. Good job on the beach shot, very evocative.
@Jay – Rustic and distressed details lend themselves perfectly to nautical elements, don’t they!

@Amanda – Thank you! Must check out your collections! 🙂
OMG.. . I am totally having a nautical fever at the moment. And that’s exactly what caught my eyes at the One of A Kind Show in Toronto this week. Saw a few marine inspired items and thought of you immediately! Have a look, maybe you will make me to pick up a thing or two for you!
