shhh! pass it on
I love me some etsy. And frankly, i try not to talk about it too much because part of me thinks the word will get out and the prices will go up and it will be somehow less amazing. but screw it, these are some awesome things to talk about.
I'm pretty excited about Lorelei Rose, who is helping me out with some gifts for an upcoming function, custom engraved with a message on the inside and outside of the bracelet. How pretty is that? $20!
World Traveler Pendant
I've literally bought half the store from Kimiko611, who makes (among other things) custom domed necklaces, with an image or piece of a map underneath. They're just so pretty! And she'll customize them for you how ever you want–she flipped through several different maps and gave me different options for a version of the necklace with St Andrews in the center. LOVE.
Silver Widows Web Pocket Watch Necklace
Birdsnbeez has the coolest steampunky necklaces and lockets EVER. Most of the really cool ones (pictured) are a little more than I'd like to pay for them, but they're so cool! and interesting! the necklaces I have from this store always become conversation pieces because they're just cool and interesting.
now, I dearly do love all of these sellers, but so far my total favorite is undeadmushroom. weird name, awesome stuff. i first noticed his/her wares when i bought a pair of hair forks stamped with EMMA and KNIGHTLEY. Obviously, done deal. since then i've bought several more forks and i also got bracelets custom made for all the girls who worked on IGNITE the NITE (I happen to be wearing mine as I type this) and getting more hair forks stamped with SCARLET or OUTLAW is currently in my book promotion plan. this shop is super fast, super cool, always unique and also uses recycled materials! LOVE!!
Autobots and Decepticons!
Honorable mentions? I think adorned7 is expensive but worth it (I have a necklace from there that is light and beautiful and I wear almost every day); fink studios has the coolest cufflinks that made an awesome christmas present for my brother, and piperblue has beautiful, delicate jewelry at really reasonable prices.
So do you etsy? What are your favorites?
