    This may be old news to a lot you, but I just found Etsy (thanks Marisa!) and I love it!  The artists are all so flexible and willing to work with you - I just bought these really cute bags that say "flower girl" and "ring bearer" on them - and the names are personalized on there for free! I also found great earrings....

    The only bad thing is I feel like I could spend forever on this place and I am getting no work done!

    Any other great Etsy finds out there? Other websites that you love?

    I know what you mean...Weddingbee introduced me to Etsy and the first time I went through the site, I found something I had been looking for the last five years. It's not wedding related, but I have to say I was so thrilled to find it. Yay for Etsy!

    I bought a customized cake topper  from MissBeaHaven on Etsy. I am so impressed with the artist i worked with, and I plan to spend a lot more time looking for other wedding stuff! I would have never found out about Etsy if it wern't for weddingbee!

    That is great! Thanks :) I think I might buy my programs on Etsy now too.... I feel like I am late to the party with less than 6 weeks to go but I plan to see what other goodies I can find here. 

    Any other artists/stores on here people have liked?

    Janna, what etsy seller are you looking at for programs? I only have 5 weeks to go, and I'm so not looking forward to making programs.

    MissRuffles-  First of all, I love your invites! They are so pretty and unique.

    I contacted two vendors whose work I liked - Staccato and DecadentDesigns.  I also want them to do the menus and table numbers, so I am waiting to get some ideas and quotes back.  But their prices seem reasonable.  I don't even own a printer so I am looking for a way to get these done and not break the bank!

    Oh nicolby you won't be disappointed.  Don't tell my employer but i seriously hunt the site at least 3-4 times a day for fun stuff.  I suffer from an addiction but i'm not ready for rehab yet!

    I've gotten so much for the wedding from Etsy!

    -My custom caketopper will be done this weekend.  From oilpainta

    -My bridesmaids are getting Etsy gifts: porcelain bowls from palomasnest, necklaces from kathrynriechert

    -My wedding earrings from handwired

     I've also purchased a great bracelet from nanda and hair accessories from beadfulthings

    Etsy is a treasure trove!

    I'm addicted to Etsy!  I purchased custom clutches for my bridesmaids from dalinda, and I'm really loving those porcelain bowls from palomasnest.  Thanks for sharing that, goteamgo<span class="postby">!!

    Goteamgo - Did you already get your earrings from handwired?  Their stuff looks beautiful and I would love to know if it looks as good in person!

     Another vendor I love: mypurseonals .  They are making me bags for bridesmaids with names and cute monograms.  I get to pick the color bags, color thread and fabric for the monogram all for a great price. 

    I find all the vendors are really into custom work and willing to give discounts if you buy multiple items.

    Hi Janna!  Yup, I received my earrings and they are beautiful in person.  :)  Perfect for my wedding!  They shipped fast (I paid right away, though).

    oh hooray!  Love Etsy, too!!  I got all kinds of brooches for me, BMs, & FG.  I am in the final stages of having a "wedding poster" made for the guestbook (from unlesssomeonelikeyou), I have been buying an assortment of thank you notes, I bought a locket for my bouquet, and a purse with a little flower girl on it as a gift.  Oh, and a ring plate from palomasnest!

     Love, LOVE Etsy!  It's saved my wedding in the things I couldn't do/find myself!
