Why we love Etsy!

Etsy is a great online community of sellers (somewhat like Ebay) who make handmade items or sell vintage items. I got lots of inspiration for Vi's 2nd Birthday Party after perusing the site, and here is the result.
Custom party invite from Conveying You Designs

We had two sock monkey birthday tee-shirts which was a good thing since chocolate cupcakes and dirt was involved. Etsy's Sock Monkey Shop had tons of cute designs to choose from.

I handmade this banner with card stock, various black and white photos, and tulle; but I definitely searched Etsy for design ideas and there are plenty. I like how this banner is somewhat of a keepsake since it features pictures of the child.


Custom cupcake toppers from Toadally Cute - this seller was great to make sure she incorporated the right colors and designs

Finally, thanks Aunt Ashlee for capturing these precious moments for us. Again, we love your fancy camera =) If you haven't visited Etsy yet, you should! We will definitely use their site for future parties and gift ideas.
