Etsy Finds for Le$$

I love Etsy. I discovered it my sophmore year of college and though I have never purchased anything from it (but want to and will eventually), through patience and tireless "thriftstoring," I have found many of my favorites for less!

By the way, all of these Etsy stores are great, I have linked them here in support!

Bright Happy Yellow Fall

Time for more Fun Etsy Finds!

Last week was getting a little grey and cold so I put together a collage/collection of bright happy things!

View this Treasury Collection Here.

Then the cold weather, the crisp smell in the mornings, and the yellowing leaves outside got me excited for fall! So i made a board on Pinterest of course! See these Pins Here.

I have found the wonders of Etsy.com. Yes, my new found craze is keeping me up late at night, browsing through old keys, pictures, furniture, jewelry and wonderfully interesting things! I started off simply looking around for DIY wedding ideas (like this cute garland i need to make and put somewhere!) but now I'm hooked! To me, it's almost better than Facebook (whoa, crazy, I know!) because there's always the unexpected thing, a new idea to try and just wonderfully cute things! I'm a shopper-retail, antiquing, thrift- so things like this make me happy! Here are some of the wonderful things I found tonight-thank goodness there's no class until noon tomorrow!
