Etsy Addict

My name is Bluemoon, and I'm addicted to Etsy.

Seriously, I could spend hours on that site, and this morning I did spend an hour there.  I should have been working, but I got it in my head that I wanted a new pair of earrings.  Please note that I have plenty of earrings.  PLENTY.  But they are something I love and I feel like they can really make a plain outfit cute, or a bad hair day better inadvertently.  I think some of my favorite Christmas gifts were the Etsy earrings I got!

You guys, I just bought FIVE pairs of earrings on Etsy.  I am madly in love with all of them and am going to be so excited to have all this fun mail coming my way in the next couple of weeks. But seriously...five pairs of earrings.  It cost me about $50, which isn't terrible, as that includes shipping for all of them.  Four different sellers.

I recently purchased a rack to hold MOST of my earrings...from Etsy.  ;-)



Anyway, that's my confession for the day.  Please note that I already have about 5-10 pairs of earrings that do not fit on this earring holder....and now I have five more coming.  :-)  Ha!

The new ones I got include:

* Sterling silver cutout heart stud earrings
* A stainless steel dangle earring with swarovski hearts at the bottom
* Red Glass heart earrings on a sterling silver hooks
* Wire wrapped cat earrings
* Wire wrapped double hoop earrings in black & pink (one set)

My favorites list on Etsy is constantly evolving, and holds more earrings and a bracelet right now, too.  I should probably steer clear for awhile!  :-)

    Oh my god, you've just put into words two of my biggest addictions - Etsy and earrings!!! Now I can't them out of my head, what a shame, I'll have to browse and buy some now ;-)

    Ditto what Scheherazade said. Earrings are such a great accessory. I wear them ever day and use them to accessorize way more than necklaces or bracelets.

    Have you ever thought about making your own earrings? It's not that difficult, and then you can create whatever you want.

      Same here about using them to accessorize most often. I wear the same silver necklace from BF 9/10 times, and bracelets are hit or miss, as they often bug me at work. Earrings are definitely my favorite accessory!

      I wish I were the crafty type, but as it is I enjoy appreciating the talents of others more, at least so far. :-)

    Dammit I just went on there looking for some cat face stud earring and found them. I'm going to have to buy them now. I'm not much of an earring wearer, besides some small diamond studs I always keep in, but I must have cat face earrings!

      I'm glad I'm dragging you guys along with me on the Etsy love today. Makes me feel better, even though I still bought six pairs vs. your one. ;-) Yes, I bought another. I'm done now. For real!

    Ooh can you share links of some of your favorites? I'm a fan of the brushed silver, wire, and copper type earrings. Based on your picture we have somewhat similar tastes. I find Etsy overwhelming so I'm afraid to look.
