Now, I'm going to be addicted to Etsy Alchemy... I just HAD to go look, and I just HAD to go post an invitation idea and now they just HAVE to respond with great ideas and prices... I'm in trouble.

Smile

I feel an Etsy addiction, and an angry FI coming along!

    haha Brianna I feel your pain I always knew about etsy but not about the alchemy and to be honest I am lazy and hated searching through hundreds of things I didnt want to find what I did.  Now to be able to say what I want and what I feel is a reasonable price I am going to be in trouble.  I having a feeling I will be getting 5-10 things that I can just think off of the top of my head.  My budget is not going to thank me.

    Haha I'm not sure if I should say "I'm Sorry" or "Your Welcome" for mentioning alchemy. :)

    Have fun ladies!!

    I've only purchased shoe clips for me and cufflinks for FI, but I forgot about those personalized hangers, I wanted one for my dress.

    Also, I have just recently gotten it into my head that instead of wearing wings for the reception (PIB), I kind of want to get one of those mini witch hats, but in ivory. Like this:
    http://www.etsy.com/listing/56957126/mini-witch-hat-white-witch-of-the-north?ref=sr_gallery_33&ga_search_query=mini+witch+hat&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=&includes[0]=tags&includes[1]=title
    Or this:
    http://www.etsy.com/listing/55481233/like-a-virgin-mini-witch-hat?ref=sr_gallery_21&ga_search_query=mini+witch+hat&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=2&order=&includes[0]=tags&includes[1]=title

    But I also really love my fascinator, so now I'm thinking maybe I'll make an alchemy request for a small ivory witch hat that I will be able to attach my fascinator to. Oh dear.

    Anna - love the mini witch hat!  (both of them) Would you prefer a witch hat over wearing the wings?  I wore wings once for Halloween - they tend to get in the way and you are constantly hitting people with them. I've never worn a witch hat before - but it's smaller - and really cute.

    Lacey - Yes, the wings are quite large and cumbersome. I doubt they'd last very long before I'd be ready to take them off. But the small hat wouldn't be uncomfortable or mess us my hair, and I could even wear my birdcage veil with it, I think. And if I could attach my fascinator to it, well, I think it'd be perfect. Okay, I'm off to look at alchemy.

    I bought my first fascinator from Etsy as well as my Bridal Suite Sign , WHICH I FORGOT TO USE! Grrrrr... I am so mad, I am tempted to take a picture of it hanging on my bedroom door at home and do B&W on it and slap it in the album. :)

    Anna, I love all the fun stuff you are doing with your wedding.
