    I just discover Etsy.com and its amazing!!! I can't believe I haven't heard of this before. 

    Have any of you purchase things from here? If so, what is your experience?

    Is it save?

    I've had great experiences w/ Etsy. It's all individual vendors though, like ebay.. just check out the sellers out too and you're golden!

    To answer your questions, yes and yes.  Many of us buy things from there or even have our own stores.  Just search for 'etsy' and you will be able to read plenty of posts about it.

    Bees post on here all of the time about Etsy, so I am very surprised that you hadn't heard of it already. I have already purchased my custom made garters from an Etsy seller and everything went great. I am now in the process of getting my veil custom made by another lady.

    I order totes with my bridesmaid's names monogrammed on them, rubber stamps, and lately a poodle onesie for a friend.  My sister sells jewelry on Etsy and I think its a great site for people who enjoyed making creative things for others.

    I LOVE etsy! Its single-handedly bringing my wedding look together. So far i have gotten my hair comb, jewelery, and my wedding dress from etsy! I've bought quite a lot from the site with only 1 bad experience (a t-shirt seller who never sent me my goods and freaked out when I gave them a bad review!). Overall, I've worked with some amazing people and can't say enough about the quality of the items I have recieved.

    Here are some examples of things I've gotten off Etsy:

    I got my purse, ring pillow, escort cards, card box, and table numbers from Etsy.  The vendors communicated with me and even wrapped the stuff in pretty boxes. Everything came on time and looked beautiful.  I got tons of compliments on the stuff.  I am not crafty and Etsy helped me still have unique items for my wedding.  I would highly recommend them, and use them again for an event.

    I've gotten my garter, hair comb, one of the personalized lingerie hangers, 6 personalized necklaces for gifts, custom cut wood letters for my Mr. and Mrs. chair signs, fun fact printed cocktail napkins. oh! and our fabulous Etsy wedding splurge - paper sculpture cake topper! - and I am making my own Lego cufflinks although I almost bought them from Etsy sellers instead.

    LOVE ETSY!

    I am an Etsy-holic!  lol.  I've ordered (as far as I can remember off-hand):

    peony blooms for my flowergirls to wear in their hair

    a big yellow flower for my own hair for my "day after" wedding session as well as an ivory bloom that I haven't worn yet

    custom-made flowergirl and ringbearer tote bags (with their names embroidered) that I filled with goodies and toys

    a "bee happy" necklace for my daughter

    ties for my hubby, dad and groomsmen for the wedding

    a "Just married" banner

    bridal shower thank you cards

    a custom silk dupioni bridal clutch (with our initials and wedding date inside)

    a custom North Carolina Tarheels garter (which I proceeded to hide from my husband so well before the wedding that I still haven't found it to this day - lol)

    custom petal cones (to hold rose petals to throw at the ceremony) that incorporated our wedding colors and patterns

    a gorgeous organza bolero from Bonzie to wear at my reception with my dress

    a custom ring bearer bowl from Paloma's Nest

    Yes, I know ... I have a problem.  lol.  And I'm sure there's a couple more things that I just can't remember at the moment.  But I've really had great experiences with the Etsy sellers with whom I've dealt.

    Have fun!

    I ordered SO many things from Etsy for our wedding and everything was just great, including using the Alchemy feature to have someone make my now husband's outfit - he was dressed as Tristan from the movie Stardust. Etsy rocks!

    the Etsy seller for the cufflinks is:  Anne Holman (http://www.etsy.com/shop/AnneHolman)

    She was WONDERFUL to work with and got me the customized cufflinks after exactly a week of payment.  Super quick!
