a day in the life of...: etsy-holics anonymous?

I've always thought that etsy was an awesome website but, when I started planning my wedding, I became addicted. I can spend hours browsing through each category, even when I know I don't need to purchase anything from that category. Wedding jewelry? I've got mine. Does that stop me from wasting away hours on etsy, searching for wedding necklaces? Of course not!

Today I thought I'd share a few of the items that I've already purchased and a few of the items I'm convincing myself that I need to purchase. We'll see if I'll resist or if my mouse will make its way over to the "Add to Cart" button. :)

My very first wedding related purchase was this custom return address label stamp from lettergirl. I absolutely adore it! It'll be perfect for our wedding invitation envelopes, RSVP cards, thank you cards, and all other cards we'll send out as husband and wife!

The next item I purchased was actually something I saw featured in Martha Stewart's Weddings Magazine. I immediately fell in love. Paloma's Nest has lots of stuff to offer and my fiance & I decided on getting a simple "To have and to hold" ring bearer bowl. We plan on hanging it in our house as a decoration after the wedding. Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen? It fits in the palm of your hand! ADORABLE!

Another item that I love & purchased was a custom garter set from Lola in Lace. She has quite a few different colors to choose from and even added a butterfly pendant on both garters for me. I get to keep one and my fiance will toss one for a lucky bachelor to keep! :)
