Online Shopping and my new Etsy problem

I knew about Etsy in a very passive way before Twitter.  I never really browsed it much, or thought that there would be something ‘for me’. 

But the more I see tweets and chats about awesome finds, homemade treasures and one of a kind items, the more interested I became.

Then I started planning my sister’s wedding shower and Etsy has become a beast of beauty. 

Because me browsing for a cute guest book for my travel themed shower I am planning, led me to find items like this:

Around the World Envelopes, 4.5 x 6

Which are map envelopes and note cards – I think I’ll use them as the guest book (everyone can write a message for the couple’s ‘wedding journey’)

But then I find cool stuff like:

OLDE WORLD GLOBE PASSPORT COVER

A very cool gift for a frequent traveller.

Then I start looking at dresses for me for the actual wedding and just find all kinds of pretty things:

silk dress in gray--sale

SOUTH PACIFIC DRESS

The Brown Tulle Gingham Dress OOAK

I mean, come on. Look at them!

*sigh* so now I’m spending way too much time searching this site.  Ohhh, gotta go, I think I should look for something for in my hair for the wedding…

    I am a complete Etsy addict. It's very, very bad. But so many pretty things!

    My sister is getting married in October. I hadn't even thought of Etsy before I read your post, but now…OH MY GOD. I am going there now. Call me in about three months.
