Etsy Love {New Fashioned Whispers}

Look.at.this.gorgeousness! These are my faves, but there's so many lovelies by Melissa Jackson at her etsy shop, New Fashioned Whispers. le sigh...

So many resolutions/goals this year.  But I like to think of them as achievable, not just a fantasy to-do list.

On that list of Achievable Things is to splurge less, and to focus on Necessities.  Like perhaps replacing the paper/disposable blinds that have been our upstairs window coverings for the past nearly-two years.

But, that still means that Window/Virtual Shopping is still available to me :)  And these delights are well-worth my time, even if I can't quite plunk down the $ to back it up.

So.  I am absolutely getting caught up in the holiday season of shopping.  I mean giving. Hee.

Seriously, though, there are *so* many delights, so I hope y'all don't mind if the next couple of weeks are devoted to little treasures that I want, but am absolutely exercising proper restraint.  But hey, maybe that means one of you will see something to treat yourself or a loved one with :)!

First up: PastelPetals, who I discovered through Luphia Loves!  Again, the delicacy of these pieces are just delightful :)  She's based in Singapore, though, so you might have to act quickly to get these here in time for the holidays!  PS: most everything is under $20!  And shipping looks to be about $3-3.50!

Happy Birthday, J! It's like Style Me Pretty knew the prettiest cake had to be featured on your birthday! [We'll ignore that it's a wedding cake...]

And again, I'm sorry I dropped the ball on your cake balls.

Cheers to your 28th!

Must. See.

I'm not gonna lie. As much as I like to think I am a generous person, I know that---if I really wanted to win a giveaway, and if it involved competing with others---I probably wouldn't share with you guys. I mean, that's if I really thought I stood a chance to win, and the more people that entered it, the less chances I stood at getting it. Well, unless it was a super super super contest. (Like, please tell me y'all have heard of the Bright Side Project? If not, scope them out!

I haven't had much success, but some of those answers the entrants give, I can see why :D)

But anyway -- example of both (a) a super super super contest and (b) other people entering have no effect on my chances: convo* etsy seller Rachelle D for the chance to win a necklace of hers! I think they're *so* darling! I already convo'd her, and I'm thinking I convo'd her too soon -- my co-worker just won! What a rockfest! So I'm thinking I'm living vicariously through her -- unless one of you guys win!

My faves:

*I'm thinking this means you have to have an etsy account, to convo RachelleD. And, if you ever think you might sell your super crafty things on etsy, choose your name wisely. just sayin.

PS. I am not doing so hot on not blogging. Quite terribly, actually. But I've opened up a whole new notebook on googlenotebook to clip everything I want to keep for myself before they disappear in blog-land/online. So far, i've got 12 things. And that's from just 3 hours ago. Help.

Ahh etsy, you always cheer me up.

Now *this* is a travel ring! Shoot, it's a *real* ring!! Herkaminer diamond/quartz -- it looks fab! I will say -- one of my friends has a moissanite ring -- it is gorgeous. As in, stunning. As in, not-a-real-diamond-I-don't-believe-you. See:

Etsy wants: necklaces

So, I noticed a trend on my etsy favorites: I am super in love with these asymmetrical necklaces with roses + a handful of beads. Preferably bright colors, but for the ceremony, definitely ivory. And brass chain. And I almost broke down and bought one today. (Sigh)

Beautiful ring

Well darn, in the middle of my friends' names-search, I saw this ring and thought, "Ooh, pretty." From buyhappiness @ $18.

And then I saw these, from Serendipity by Erin:

On Etsy: Pepper Pod at bethingels1 (Gift)

One for me, one for a friend. For $34, perhaps a good "yea, you're going to be a mother!" gift, yes?
