There's 13 haunting days til Halloween, which means it's time to fill up your shopping carts (virtual or real) with party supplies for the perfect, frighteningly fun Halloween party.  As a result, today's Etsy finds are geared towards throwing a party filled with ghouls & goblins.  Click on the links and start shopping because time is running out....!

Black Raven Place Cards - even Halloween parties can be elevated with little touches like these.

"Vampire Bites" Card Stock Tags - these are a great idea as is, fill a jar with candies for your co-workers or children's classmates and wrap these cute tags around.

Orange Polka Dot Straws - for a pop of color on your food & beverage table, straws are a cheap and fun addition (and using them keeps your teeth from rotting out....something has to!).

Tuesday's Etsy Finds

 

If you love Etsy as much as  I do, then you know that there are a number of amazing vendors on their website selling a wide range of things from vintage magazine racks to handmade ornaments & clothes.  There is a never ending array of things to look at, get ideas from, or buy.  

In fact, it's become so popular that items have been featured on Martha Stewart's website, Matthew Stephens had items picked up by Urban Outfitters at one point and is now featured on Jonathan Adler's website, and Blanca Gomez who has amazing artwork and does ad-work for many Spanish companies, has her own Etsy store where you can purchase prints.

Not only that, but it is the perfect place to go to now to find unique wedding supplies - there are invitations you can customize, cake toppers, flower bouquets, favors of all kinds, veils - the list is endless.

As a result, this is my ode to Etsy - a celebration every Tuesday of some of Etsy's amazing things.  Enjoy!
