Etsy

I used to think I wasn't very materialistic but then I realized no one was marketing to me. When people do make things I like, I'm just as greedy as the rest of humanity. Etsy has brought me to this realization.
Oh how I wish I had a million dollars to spend there. There are so many cool hand crafted wonders. This morning I've spent the good part of an hour drooling over different items. There are the swedish bibs and plates which I think are hilarious but Aaron says are dorky. Boo to Aaron. There are some beautiful lace headbands and some pretty jewelry. And a million other things I would love to have. Here are some pics. See what you think.
And I have to admit that there's a reason no one should market to me. I'm a spender not a saver. I'll see something I absolutely and totally love. I'll dream about, think about, imagine how I'd wear it or where I'd put it but I won't buy it. I want to buy it but I Can't. I don't know why. It's so WEIRD.

I never said they were dorky. I made a face, but that's because I was squinting to see the picture you were showing me in the pre-contact morning. As someone with Norwegian-Danish-Swedish-Norman heritage, I would be proud to have my child wearing a bib with Scandinavian folk art.

Who said the bib was for your kid? You don't even have a kid.

Someday, Katy. Someday...

And let it be known, he did make a face and a low disapproving grunt.

It is pretty hard to see in the morning when you've just woken up. I didn't know you wore contacts, Aaron.

Yes you did. Remember when you got contacts and we were having that competition, whoever consistently put them in won? You beat me by six months.

I spent a lot of time yesterday on Etsy. I love that website. Thanks for introducing me to it.

When are you going to sell stuff on etsy?

I remember Aaron & his contacts. Katy and I tried to shove them into his eyeballs in Puerto Rico. I think we got one in.

I love love love Etsy! I've had pretty good success selling my soap there. Unfortunately, the benefits of that are significantly offset by me shopping there.
