Objects of Desire: Etsy Finds

Sep 9, 2009 | Fashion | 6 comments

Isn’t Etsy just about the most fabulous invention ever?? I have likely spent a small fortune purchasing from the designers directly through the Etsy interface – and even just browsing and drooling over the mass creativity showcased there takes up a large portion of my time.

I’m in a gray, shapeless, non-definitive mood, and these pricey picks are what I’m lusting after as of late.

Swing Jacket, $64.50, simplecut (one of the more affordable pieces in this melange)

 

TrainHoops, $195, dmdmetal 


Periwinkle Fringe Necklace, $50, lulugraceloves (ooh! I can buy this…but just the blue fringe necklace and not all the other necklaces, which really make the whole look:-(

 

 

 

Since most of these fabulous finds I can’t really afford right now, perhaps I’ll tide myself over with this hauntingly, achingly beautiful print that reminds me of both the beginning and the end of a journey:

Forces of Enchantment Fine Art Print, $25, couragemylove

Anything neat on Etsy that you guys have found lately?

    Co.co tank by etsy seller Clairela.faye (I am almost done w/my DIY version)

    Commissioned a inverted cz bracelet from plastique

    Adoring my Rhombus wire earrings from Polished Two

    Treated myself to a snap jacket from pretty birdie

    Can't wait to wear my swirl halter from prizysebastian

    Yes, I'm addicted, but it's nice to have alternatives to the department store and support our artists too. Thanks, Carly.

    I looked at that fringe/chain necklace, that would be a relatively easy DIY project. Bring on the pliers and chain!

    Oooh Martha – you tempt me so!
    Plastique's inverted suspended CZ rings are to die for!! (And definitely, that chain/fringe necklace is an easy DIY…I just can't find any blue or even dyeable fringe from my local Jo-Ann's. Grumble grumble I HATE them sooo much.

    Thanks Ashley – I checked out your Maddens on your blog and they are fi—iiine shoes! I wish I had scored such a great deal too!

    Erica: Congrats! Vintage chains are so much cooler than new – they usually have a patina and a little bit of wear – they have such a character – and usually don't seem as cheap as recent stuff. Jealous!:-)

    Thanks for your comments!
