and then i just bought these earrings to go with it:

i've bought a buncha other stuff too but its for christmas presents. i got myself and my sister a set of the new Twilight series inspired body lotions (one 2oz bottle each of Edward, Alice, Bella and Jacob) and i got my sister a twilight christmas ornament thats a glass apple w/ a little metal dogtag that says "twilight" (we're both obsessed with the series)
i need to block that site or something though lol its not good for my bank account!
Hahaha. Etsy is SO freaking addicting!
I spend hours on there everyday. I've gotten pretty good at just favoriting things instead of buying them. Heh.
Oh crap, I just remembered I got a little more money on my account and I've been eyeing a pair of fabulous vintage shoes for while. Oh hell. Scratch that whole being able to not buy things. That only works when I'm dead broke! ;D
Also, those earrings and ring are BEAUTIFUL. Whats the Etsy seller? I need ideas for what to get my mom for Christmas.
my friend has a store on that site. she makes all her stuff by hand. but she uses gold, which i believe some of us hippie-types are against; and it seems really expensive to me, but i don't buy jewelry, so i wouldn't really now.

that stuff does look expensive... the ring was $25 and the earrings were $32.50. hopefully the earrings dont react w/ my ears or something.
the seller for the ring was ElvesGarden: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6105730
the seller for the earrings was AmberSky: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5515449
I love those earrings.
Must. Not. Spend. More. Money.

it took me a while to decide on the earrings. she has a buncha different colors. i was torn between the blue purple and pink. ended up getting the pink cuz it matched the ring
I can also spend hours on etsy. right now I'm into looking at fringy scarves
I pulled up vegan in Etsy and it seems like 80% of what comes up in that search is soap. Very creative people though.
I had never heard of this website until today...now it's my favourite one!
pixie8i8: I cant blame you to be shopping constantly on there. The stuff is amazing and so unique. Im really creative and artsy and love that kind of stuff. May look into selling stuff on there eventually when I get back into arts. Thanks so much for making me discover it. Found an amazing watercolor artist on there and am thinking about ordering prints for my daughter's room too...
The ring you bought is amazing by the way!
Have you received your earrings yet?
Have you received your earrings yet?
yup :) i received the earrings saturday, the ring on monday, and my Twilight lotions monday :)
the earrings were smaller than i thought they'd be, but thats okay because they're still pretty heavy since i'm not used to wearing dangle earrings. the ring is actually a little darker in person and is beautiful :) i was gonna try and take a picture but my camera battery is dead
Glad to hear that you received everything and were pleased.
How heavy are the earrings? Do they pull your earlobes down any?
i dont think they pull my ears down at all, i'm just not used to wearing dangle earrings, and i barely wear regular earrings, so i think i'm just not used to it
Augh, I love Etsy. Their miniature section makes me really, really want a dollhouse!
I don't know what Etsy is, and I don't want to know, because if it is:
a) addictive
b) cute
c) wearable
d) all of the above
that spells disaster for me.
Happy shopping!

you don't want to know, execpt that you do. But once you do, you'll wish you hadn't.
I'm hooked on etsy and want to open my own store...so I have income to spend on etsy.

You just proved my point. Well put.
Is there anyway to search for a store? I saw something I liked, remembered the store name but not the user name and now I can't find it anymore...
