Awhile back I sy=tumbled across a website called Etsy. It is absolutely fabulous…yes I hate that word…but it is appropriate here. I have found so much on here including my bridal earrings, Chris cufflinks, his monogrammed handkercheifs, bridesmaids gifts and alot more. The great thing about the site is that is all handmade or vintage. So it’s not like the giant flea market that Ebay has become…although that will always be my first love. You also hae an opportunity to talk to and negotiate with the seller or designer. Many times if you contact them you can get a percentage off. I have learned in all my planning that it pays to ask…even to the point of when it si a bit uncomfortable…lol.
