Etsy, my love

So Wednesday is now my favorite tv night.  First is ANTM, all the model makeovers, photo shoots, and Tyra asking for more 'smiling with your eyes'.  Then is my new favorite show, Glee.  Besides being such a great dead-pan comedy it has some amazing vocalists that showcase their talents every week in new ways.  And iTunes has all the songs online the next day so that I can sing along.  So today is Wednesday and I got my latest etsy purchase in the mail (hence the blog title).  Inexpensive and beautiful earrings from CHR designs.  I love perusing the site for new 'cute' must have items.  These are the earrings I just received.  I love them. I cannot wait to search my closet for new ways to put them to good use. They were only $15 dollars, and are the perfect delicate shape of swirly matte gold.  Simple, yet just interesting enough to be different from the run-of-the-mill jewelry I usually find at Forever 21 or H&M.  And while I truly love shopping for costume jewelry at those stores sometimes I can't find anything special looking that everyone doesn't have.

I also purchased this purse to accompany my bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding in November.  A ruched black and white damask envelope clutch from littleellie.  I bookmarked it months ago planning on purchasing it eventually.  And when I saw the earrings I decided to splurge and get both at once. 

I love the feeling that no one has my stuff and etsy gives me the opportunity to be originally stylish and support craftspeople all over the globe.  There is such a diverse amount of stuff on this site.  From vintage shoes and glass mason jars to crafting supplies and bejeweled necklaces this site has it all.  Even if your strapped for cash etsy is such a fun place to window shop and bookmark your favorite finds when your cash flow improves.  Someday when I get organized enough I'll create an etsy shop of my own to sell my photo projects.  But until then I'll keep supporting the local arts and keep on shopping!!
