Etsy - Shopping Share

[BitterEpiphany]

I'm not sure if Etsy has been shared here before. Feel free to flog me if it has, but I was browsing for a good deal on custom buttons tonight and it occured to me that their vintage clothing section might not hvae been pointed out.

They do everything, of course, but they have individual sellers listing vintage clothing and a lot of them do custom orders - most are also very reasonably priced. Tons of accessories as well, under other sections

Thanks for the heads up, I'll definatley give it a look.

I wanted to post my favourite Etsy shop here as they sell lovely, vintage-inspired lingerie.

Get ready to Swoon!

Some of the print combos can be a little loud, but the quality is outstanding and they are so well-fitting. I have a pair of camiknickers with others on the way, and I persuaded the lovely lady in charge to try a pair of side buttoning tap-pants so I am eagerly awaiting her results. It would be so nice to have some high-waisted tap pants in cotton I think.

The stuff might be pricey for US ladies, but it's pretty reasonable for the Brits.

Oooh, thank you! I recently opened an Etsy account to "wishlist" some of the fabulous jewelry and accessories posted here a while back.

Thanks for the headsup BitterEpiphany (I love your avatar by the way).

Swoon is great Fleur--I especially like the Paris Cafe items (garter belt is my favorite) and the Big Ben garter belt is great too. I'm a sucker for novelty prints (and lingerie).

AMEN! I love love LOVE etsy! I had to stop talking about it around here for a while because I didn't want to seem like I worked for them!

I wanted to share this lovely shop of vintage inspired, handmade hats that some of you ladies might like...for such lovely pieces, the prices are actually very reasonable.

I heart etsy! I just received this lovely scarab necklace from kneehighs-n-pigtails, a seller who creates art nouveau/victorian inspired jewelry:

Her prices are extrememly reasonable, and her wares are even lovelier in person. The beads on the scarab necklace are all high-quality glass beads with a pretty irridesence to them that you can't see well in the picture. And she makes the necklace to whatever length you want.

In fact, the scarab necklace arrived in the mail yesterday and I liked it so much that I bought another necklace from her today:

You can find her shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=31060.

Poor thing. She mentions about her grandmother passing away.
That swallow necklace is amazing. Swallows were big, big, big in the 1920s.
Even though I sell elsewhere I adore Etsy. The most amazing talented artists and crafters in one spot. I cannot go near that place or I will not get anything done for hours. Bought the coolest pillow cover there not long ago.

You want to gasp at Etsy. Try this vintage shop. :eusa_clap

For a great cause. The problem is though it is almost all sold out.

Another jewelry seller that specializes in jewelry inspired by vintage/antique filigree jewelry. She has lovely iems, I may have to make a purchase next pay day.

That's really awesome. Thanks for the link. I'll be checking out things and hopefully making my own Etsy page after I get my sewing machine.

I just wanted to mention my friend's Etsy store Helvissa's Hairflowers, which has lots of different flower clips, including some more "British" (less tropical!) designs like pansies and bluebells. All made in the UK so EU girls can save on customs!
