pretty items from Etsy

[aimeekitty]

so, on my quest to find something pretty to get my mom for her birthday, I decided to stop procrastinating and get myself a few pieces on ETSY I'd been admiring for a while. (they were all really affordable, too!) It's pretty rare for me to buy jewelry other than super super cheap plastic heart stuff. :) I'm looking forward to these!
here's what I actually got:


in the order (roughly) of the images in the above image:
CatherinetteRings <-- wire rings in both steampunk and girly. bought rings and the necklace for mom.
torque <-- filigreestyle jewelry. I bought a blue flower pendant from them.
bazaarLatino <-- vintage hairclips. I bought a multicolored flower necklace from them.
And then just more pretty stuff:
prettylilthings <-- pretty felt flower broaches
LusterStudio <-- really cute felt and plastic jewelry
JewelsByNature <-- steampunk/filigree style jewelry
Also, thanks to Mara for this RareBirdFinds link. lots of interesting stuff!
SproutHome has lots of gorgeous items as does Rockett St George

totally unrelated, but if I ever build my own home, I'm so calling these Hidden Passageway people. Always wanted one!!!

I ended up getting this one for my mom. It looks like her arbors and flowers.
gardening is one of her most beloved hobbies.

LOL! I'm actually bookmarking this post for all the Etsy/homedecor goodness! All that jewelry is AMAZING! It's so hard to find really unique stuff these days that doesn't cost a fortune!

Hi Aimee,

I LOVE Etsy 8D! It's like art crack XD! That necklace is GORGEOUS! Your mom will LOVE it!

I'm not sure if you've seen these.

Lisa Everett Designs also makes some very beautiful jewelry: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=8947

I bought a pair of bird pendants from Lisa(the first two shown here: http://mandypandys.blogspot.com/2008/05/tweet.html), and I have to say, not only does she make some really cute stuff, but she's an absolute sweetheart to boot; great customer service.

I never really got around to wearing them (a sad consequence of accumulating too much jewelry), so I was going to donate them, but if they're up your alley, please LMK and they're all yours.

I've been wanting that thistle necklace too! But most of the jewelry I like on Etsy I really really really cannot afford.
