on an etsy addiction

So, as I’ve mentioned, we’re right in the thick of birthday season with Mother’s/Father’s Day shortly around the corner.  This means I’m searching for the perfect gifts for all occasions.  I’ve got what I need already for my Ma’s Mother’s day gift (and since I know she reads this – hi mom! – I’m not going to tell you what it is just yet), I’ll be shopping for little sis Miranda soon (she decided on Tryg’s, by the way – for those of you who also got whiplash reading this conversation), and have other friends to be shopping for in the upcoming couple of months.

The first place I go when I start gift-shopping?  Etsy, duh.

The problem when I go to Etsy to start gift-shopping?  I buy more for ME than for other people.  Damn you, Etsy.

But…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ME!
(Hey, it’s in 8 days, so it’s fair right?)

So yeah, while gift shopping for friends and family, I ended up with some lovelies for me instead also!

First, I found this ring/necklace combo at MyAtticTreasures and couldn’t resist its beautiful gold and vintageness:

seriously, is this not amazing?

gorgeous!

Then, one of my most favoritest and most adorablest (it’s my blog, I can make up words if I want to) blogger friends, (yourwishcake) fashioned these beauties, and I couldn’t resist.  Lilies?!  On a bobby pin?!  In case you didn’t know, lilies are my faves flowers, and I love this lady so I couldn’t resist these: 

Ok… back to gift-shopping… Mir, I’m sorry I bought myself new jewelry and hairpins instead of your quarter-century present.  I’m working on it.  Promise.  Love you.
