democracy in action! what would *you* post to etsywedding?

friends, it has been a while. a long while. there's only so much apologizing one blogger can do. and that gets me thinking: maybe i need to enlist some help. (!) and a here's a great idea (i think!): user-generated content! yes!

i'd like to pose several questions to you, my wedding-minded readers, in the democratic spirit of the election season.

the first: if price were no object, what four things on etsy would you get for your wedding?

send me an email with your four best links, and if you're so inclined a little note on why (but just the links are fine!) -- i will post the best ones with your byline (or if you prefer, a link to your blog).

here are the rules so far: (and please forgive the weird formatting, am having to post in IE from a pc rather than my beloved mac.)
1. please, no self promotion. this is a fun exploration of what etsy has to offer, not a competition for free advertising.

2. one email per question -- no multiples. please! you have no idea what my email inbox looks like. it is *utter mayhem* in there. craziness. a wild forest of unopened mail. in fact, let this stand as an apology to anyone who has written and not gotten a response. that includes you, mom.

3. choose compelling items with great photos. great photos are key. and creative, fun, gorgeous, why-didn't-we-think-of-that sorts of things. themes are welcome, as are color schemes.

4. i forget what four was for.

5. i reserve the right to call cease and desist on one question when i move on to the next one. this will save what is left of my sanity.

6. i won't be able to post everyone, but i will try, *try*! to keep up with you all. you are many, i am but one.

so: this may or may not work, we'll see how it goes, but definitely better than my current anemic posting schedule. right?

any questions? post in comments --

{{update 6.oct.08: like, duh! my email address! find me at etsywedding (at) gmail.}}
