Archive for the ‘Etsy’ Category

Each week I do a search of the Wedding category on Etsy to see what new items have been added.  Sometimes I spend lots of time searching through the pages and other times I find something interesting really quickly.  This week it was a matter of minutes.  I was browsing Weddings & then clicked on the sub category of Cake Toppers when I came across the sugar wafer butterflies of Sugar Robot.  What I love so much about this find is you don’t have to use these only for a wedding.  These could be used for a child’s birthday party that is butterfly themed or even a bridal shower.

Here is what Lisa, the owner of Sugar Robot says in her etsy profile:

Behind every sugar robot there’s a sweet chick.

I love this assortment of purples & pinks.  So pretty. 

I think the white could be really pretty on a cream colored cake, something very monochromatic or even another color, I’m not really loving it with the red, but I love the simplified shapes of these butterflies.

The butterflies are gorgeous and not terribly expensive.  They are a lot of bang for the buck for sure!!  Head on over to Sugar Robot and check out these lovely butterflies as well as the other sugar items she has in her shop (leaves, bugs, flowers)

I am trying to show off really great or unique products on etsy.  There are so many great shops on etsy.  This week I am featuring the seller Kate from Kate Said Yes.  She creates lovely wedding accessories using silk flowers.  I am typically not a fan of “fake” flowers, but these arrangements by Kate are lovely and do not look fake (it didn’t hurt that she’s a Boston gal either)  Head on over and check out her creations.

This is the bouquet that caught my eye.  The Orchids definitely don’t look fake,  the colors are beautiful.  I love the fuschia, white and the navy ribbon (Kate can customize the flower color & the ribbon colors).  The cost of this bouquet is $100 without being a florist I think this price is great, plus your flowers aren’t going to die. 

This yellow ranunculus bouquet is gorgeous too.  I love ranunculus but they aren’t always in season (I wasn’t able to have them for my wedding for this reason) going with fakes means you don’t have to worry about when flowers are in season.

Definitely head on over to Kate’s shop and check out her work.  She also does boutonnieres, corsages & hair pieces.

Sorry about not keeping up with the Wedding Etsy Finds!  It’s been a little hard the past couple weeks, but I was determined to get one posted this week!

Here is a unique find that I found a few days ago on the blog A Beautiful Mess (Elsie Flannigan’s Blog…if you have some time to kill and you love looking at vintage, crafty goodness click on that link!).  She had a custom portrait stamp created for her wedding invitations.  I think it is such a cute idea and it can be used again, you can stamp all your thank you cards with it too!  I read it a few days ago and forgot about it, then when I was searching through etsy’s wedding section today I came across these custom portrait stamps and realized I had to share them.

Kozue does an amazing job on the stamps!  If you check out Elsie’s site you’ll see that the stamp looks just like them.

Here is the stamp Elsie used on her Invitations.

Below are a few images of custom stamps from Kozue’s shop.  This would be a great idea of something to do with your engagement photos.  The stamps are really reasonably priced at $35 for the couple (if you want just a stamp of one person it’s only $30, this would be a cute idea for your children).

You can also check out her blog to see more of her custom stamps as well as other stamps she has made.   I think this needs to be added to my want list of Etsy Finds!! :)

A unique gift for your guy & groomsman?  Find them at Felix Street Studio.

Here’s a bit from her profile: After all those years actually WORKING in various occupations involving numbers, I have finally found my dream job! Right here at home. Etsy provides a wonderful outlet for my obsessive need to be using my hands as well as my head. My passion for sewing has finally met up with an appreciative audience and I thank you for your interest in my bags. They are made one-at-a-time, with great attention to detail, durability, and quality. I am happiest when I am making things. To make things for people who appreciate handmade is just heaven. And I would not, under any circumstance, object if you referred me to everyone you know. Just in case you were wondering. : )
