Etsy.com


Although I have yet to finalize my shop, I still enjoy browsing the many wonderful creations on Etsy. Here are some of my favorites...

1. Brookish


This shop has the most adorable mugs, the majority of them with Jane Austen quotes. She also sells t-shirts and framed quotes.



This shop has a ton of really cute pinback button. Be careful though, not all of the are clean :/




More to come tomorrow!!

Begining & Bargains!

So, I'm pretty excited. I now have a place to share all my projects, bargains, idea, and random things! This is also a step in opening my own Etsy shop, so I can sell necklace, rings, and misc. bling :) In case you don't know, Etsy is an online crafter's community, which allows to crafters to sell their wares. You can find almost anything you need at a reasonable price. I encourage you to check it out!

Now for my bargains! So my mom & I ran to Goodwill yesterday to find some pants for a play and my brother. While there I found some other great deals. Here a few of them...
#1
This is a dELiA*s dress that I bought for $5. It came in black & white, but I already owned one of that "color", so I picked up some dye during another one of our other stops, and after dumping it in the dye bath, it turned out like this! I absolutely love it!

#2

At Goodwill, they sell fish bowls/vases full of misc. jewelry. I paid $10 for one and this awesome chocker came in it, along with a number of other good finds, such as a couple pairs of really cute earings, a few necklace changes, bangles, and other pieces that I can turn into rings. But none of those compare with the find below...
#3


So, in the vase/bowl thing, came this watch. I thought it was really cute, but when I showed to my mom, she suggest I look it up online, since Mickey stuff is very collectable. After a few searches, this is what I found out. I am now the proud owner of a 1935-'37 Mickey Mouse Ingersoll watch. Ya, so I'm pretty pumped. I'm planning on selling it on Ebay soon, and whatever money I make will go towards starting up my Etsy shop! Thank you, God! Isn't He so good!
