Pinterest: The Gateway Drug

I’m blaming Pinterest for my Etsy addiction.
The first time I went on Etsy was for these candles I bought at a craft mall.
I thought the site was pretty awesome.. but, now I’m on it daily.

I have to admit, some of the stuff is way too much.
I can typically find the same thing from another Etsy maker for way cheaper.

For example; I have been looking for big cute glittery bracelets.
I kept finding them for $35 or more. That’s a no go.
I might make good money but, I am a bargain shopper. I’m great at it too.

I found the perfect bracelets. MUCH better than the $30 ones.

Her items are so fun and affordable. Since I had to show off her store to all of you..
I asked her a few typically questions a buyer might have.

What inspired you to make jewelry?
I remember shopping for jewelry one day and thought "Oh, I could make this!" so I thought I'd give it a try.  I'm inspired by a lot of things, really.  Color palettes and fabric patterns, fun quotes & even sometimes, people.  I try to create for people who want to look cute but don't have a ton of money to do so.  Not everyone can afford a $100 bracelet, you know? :)  My jewelry is for the real girl, the one on a budget, but who still has great style. 

Do you offer custom orders?
I do!  My convo. box on Etsy is always open or feel free to email me at fashionintheforest@gmail.com and we can discuss what you'd like!

How often do you add new items?
I try to at least once every week or two.  Sometimes it's more, sometimes less.  When I get inspired, a flood of new jewelry gets listed fast! 

Three words to describe your items:

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS..

Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!.. I work Friday nights and Saturday mornings.. so Friday isn’t always as awesome to me as it is to everyone else. Dear Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds, The first time I ever linked up I mention...
