I *HEART* Etsy!
Actually, I think a more appropriate word to use may be "addicted," "obsessed," "crazied." In any case, I absolutely love this website and have to say that it is my favorite wedding planning discovery. I have purchased all kinds of treats and goodies from Etsy. Here is a list of some of the treasures I have found on this internet chest chalked full of booty! (all photo credits belong to the shop owners, please see links in post)
My very first purchase was 2 hair flower pins from Brenda's Bridal Veils. I was not sure if I was going to wear an ivory dress or a white dress (more on that later)...so due to my indecisiveness I purchased both.
My second purchase was a custom request from Siver dot Jewelry, a local DC shop, for matching necklaces and earrings for the bridal party (and our Grooms Maid). Oh and Ladies, if you are reading, this is not what you are getting...however you can expect your gifts to look just as fantastic.
My next purchase was extra special. It was an alchemy request or what I like to refer to as a "call to prayer." I had searched high and low for groomsmen ties that were under $20 in a specific shade of purple and could not find anything that matched my criteria (that criteria mainly being the under $20 part). So, I decided to see what I could do on Etsy, because by this time I had become a pro on the site. CredoNedo answered my call and did them perfectly for $12 per tie!
But I have to say that so far, this little exquisite peice of handmade loveliness has been my favorite purchase so far. It is the clutch I plan to wear with my gown. It is totally perfect and needs only but few words. Thank you, Angee W!
In total I have made, oh...around 18 purchases from Etsy...and it won't stop there. Oh yes *smiling feindishly* it will not stop there...
More to come on a few more of my purchases, including our invitations, some extra vintage goodness for my gown and jewelry for the bride.
So, have you guys discovered etsy too? Any good shops to reccomend?

I LOOOOOVE etsy! I haven't bought anything from them yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy these awesome ties for the groomsmen. Great purchases!
Thanks! So far I have no been disappointed with what I have received.
Ooooh, I LOVE etsy. Those were some great finds. I am a big fan of sweetpaperie, trillium, VieModerne, GeeZees and EricaBapst.
love love love etsy. I'll probably have to do a whole post about it myself as well because I basically LIVE on that site and have bought a number of things and certainly plan to buy a lot more, for the wedding and everything after.
Oh I like sweetpaperie too! I got a custom stamp from there...more on that when I talk about our save the dates!
I also love it! :)
Thanks Christie for the sweet shout out to Geezees!
