Etsy Finds

I've been browsing Etsy for a few days now and I can't get over how adorable most of the stuff is on there. I found a few awesome things that I really want to buy, but I'm stuck in my personal financial crisis at the moment. Job hunting is a bore, but it's gotta be done! So I settled on a blog post with some of my finds.


Real Fake French Macaron Charm (in Mocha)




How cute is that?! I'm allergic to nuts, so I can't really eat real macarons. I've always found them so yummy looking. :[  The only time I've ever seen them is when I bought some from France on my way back from Belgium. I was a little naughty and had a couple (no I didn't die), they were chocolate flavour and I've been obsessed since. I've had a look around and I haven't found anywhere that sells them in Nottingham so far. So, I might have to buy this cute little charm when I get some money to keep me happy until I get the real deal. 


It's $10 from TheRealFakeBakery


Real Fake Mille-Feuille Pendant




Alright, I like this shop. Tiny cakes on necklaces that look yummy, what's not to like?! The tiny strawberries look so juicy and real and the flaky pastry looks like the real thing! 


$9 from TheRealFakeBakery


Fake Cupcake Candy Shoppe Classic Swirl Collection Jars (Set of 6)




Long title, huh? These jars look amazing. The "frosting" on top makes me want to bite into it because it looks exactly like the soft icing you get on cupcakes! They're not as big as they look though, they're roughly half the size of a can of pop, smaller means cuter though.  All made by hand and in a set of 6. 


$28 dollars for 6 from 12LegsCuriosities


Coffee and Cream Goats Milk Shea Butter Soap



I'm a devil for anything that smells or tastes like coffee, so when I spotted these I was instantly digging them. Of course you can't smell them over the internet or know what the results on your skin would be like but they sound great to me. 


$3.50 for one bar (3.5" long x 1" thick x 2" wide). from LostRiverRags.


Chocolate Candy Vintage Buttons (15 buttons)




Finally something edible! These are pretty different from the Cadbury milk buttons. Think of all the chocolate cakes! They also make Sugar Buttons (perfect for wedding cakes!)


$12 for 15 buttons (that's plenty for a cake!) From Andiespecialtysweets


Antique Brass Eyeglasses Necklace




Nothing to say about this, really. I just thought it was fantastic. 


$10 from Morikaty.


Curiouser Necklace




"’Curiouser and curiouser!’ Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English). ’Now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!’ (for when she looked down at her feet they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off)." 


$22 from UntamedMenagerie (some great stuff in their shop).


"Love Love" Necklace




You can see why I might like this. DALEKDALEKDALEK!! I'm a bit of a Dr. Who nut at the moment and I've been hinting at anyone who will listen that I want this necklace! 


$9 from Egyptianruin


I'm gonna be hooked on Etsy for a while, and there'll be no helping me when I get some form of income! At least Christmas will be easier for me when it comes around because I've already got a list forming (It's only May!)
