Etsy whore

mwhitson14

I'm totally addicted to Etsy. I seriously just bought cupcake flags, monogram cards for the hurricanes at the wedding, I'm eyeing jewelry and pomanders, and just put out an alchemy request for some stickers for the invitation envelopes because I didn't like the prices from other sellers. I've spent the last 2 hours at work just browsing. I can't DIY to save my life (nor do I have the time) and I love all the cute little details Etsy is going to bring to my wedding. Thank you Knot for bringing Etsy into my life. Anyone else an Etsy addict?

*Raises hand*I got BMs clutches and jewelry from Etsy (both just fun, nothing for them to wear that day), FI's cuff links, 2 housewarming presents, our cake topper and...Yeah, I could totally buy more.

Totally!  Can't get enough.  And I feel proud that the money goes straight to the artist.  I'm supporting the economy in a direct manner, yay!  Always looking for excuses to shop.

Oh and favor tags and wraparound labels! I definitely need to be looking at clutches too, I'm still looking at kailochic, but there are so many great sellers.

Pink, now that you say that, I'm a fan of shopping local. On the left hand side you can click on Shop Local and it will bring you local sellers.

Never heard of Etsy before TK, but now that I am spending my saturday on the computer, I am thinking I will check it out. Just what I need is another website to be addicted to

I have never been there;)

Ahhhh no I don't need cupcake flags but dammit they're cute!! [url] http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25021240[/url] They say Megan and Shane and are going to make my cupcakes look cute!!11! I went for taste over prettiness with my cupcakes so I bought flags. And these cupcake wraps are the cutest thing EVAR but I'm not paying that much for them: [url]http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29707595[/url] except not in those colors because that would just be silly.

OK, they are really cute.

Jen and Jackie: go there now. You will too become a whore.

mwhitson14

Yesterday I bought two pairs of earrings, t-shirt for the boy, a notebook, a ring, and some soap on Etsy. I don't even want to THINK about what it's going to be like when I start to plan a wedding.

jen629

Ok I am gonna go check it out and if I become a whore you are gonna be my pimp;)

J&K doll, March 12th. I told the next time we move a date it will be moved indefinitely, ha. It's good though because I actually have money and time now to do this fun stuff.

I am a future Etsy whore. Thank goodness I just started browsing the site (to get my earrings), because with two weeks to go there's not much damage I can do to my budget buying all the stuff on Etsy! They are the best.

mwhitson14

Madison, I love that you call him the boy, that's exactly what I call FI too, ha. Jen, now there's a proposition I haven't heard before.

jackie8582

Wow there is lots of neat stuff on there. The sexual position bars of soap cracked me up! Ok ok where do I sing up to be an etsy whore?

J&K10910

That's good Whit!  Spring is a great time to get married.

Well, Jackie, first you have to make a slight donation to the Etsy Whore Fund. It pays for the cupcakes. Oh y'all. They etsy seller of those cupcake wrappers is gonna give me a discount. FML.

I dont have the money to spare to buy anything on etsy so I try to stay away. I have lately enjoyed browsing through the art section for funny stuff to use as display pics on msn.this is my favourite painting ive found, its the montauk monster and costs 56$[IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2lk5ukx.jpg[/IMG] 

mwhitson14

Nebb, that's so creepy it's cute.

Nebb

It kind of looks like a creepy version of my dog to be honest.I like this bracelet I found as well...[IMG]http://i36.tinypic.com/2nqayl2.jpg[/IMG]

I freakin' love etsy and there's plenty of stuff I still need to get from there.So far I've gotten monograms, a ring dish, a t-shirt for my FI, and my hair comb.  The stuff that I'm 100% buying from there are handkerchiefs for my mom and FMIL, tiara, and a clutch.

mwhitson14

Nebb, you have unusual taste dear. Navy! I've been wanting to show you these!! [url]http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31152084[/url] Weren't these a DIY FAIL for you? Or am I thinking of something else? I know you wanted these to go in the trees and $1.75 is kinda high but they would be perfect for you.

janedoe1113a

That's for sharing Whit!Oh, and if anyone is interested, I've compiled a list of etsy seller recommended by ladies on the budget board.[url]http://budgetbrides.weebly.com/etsy-sellers.html[/url]

hah I dont like it in an "I'd totally wear that" way, I like it in a "that looks rediculous" type of way. I have a whole file on my computer of things like that... I guess youre right in a way!

What kind of jewelry did you buy?  Do you mind showing me?  I'm on a hunt for some jewelry - really simple silver - for my girls.

mwhitson14

It's in my bio, I think under bling. It's actually for sale!

thesuninherhead

Yes yes yes. I got our non-florals from etsy, as well as a bunch of other stuff, some of which I didn't end up using but was awesome nonetheless.
