Things I want (& don't) from ETSY

Last week I had a bad case of bronchitis.  During my coughing and hacking, I found the end of Pinterest.  Yep, I laid on the couch and thumbed through Pinterest until I was at the point that I had seen images four or five times in the same day.

I’m better this week, but I didn’t want Etsy to feel so left out after all my one-on-one time spent with Pinterest; so, I gave it some much-needed attention this past weekend.  Below are a few of the lovelies I found that I thought I would share with you….

Happy Wednesday!

 I adore this pillow.

il_570xN.448050376_prtlI want to order this dress for Colby sooooo badly, but I know she won’t wear it because it’s not loud with hot pink and purple sequins all over it.

il_570xN.310307893 Is it possible for kitchen towels to make a person happy?

il_340x270.419778185_itf7 Hold on!  Hold on!  I need to get my 17 different color of ink pens to make graphs with for Econ class!!  :)

il_570xN.323773875 Is it possible for kitchen towels to force someone to sit down on the couch and immerse themselves into Pride and Prejudice?  Yes, I do believe this particular kitchen towel holds this type of magical power.

il_570xN.409954050_rlqt The tailoring, structure, and beauty of this coat with tiny kick pleats in the back makes me want to cry….or sit at an outdoor cafe and sip espresso on a sunny November day…..in London…

il_570xN.461761232_m4yh …wearing these earrings….

…and this scarf.

il_570xN.385227824_j7el But I’m not all serious all of the time….I WILL be sporting this tee at the annual Christmas festivities weekend this year!  :)

My friend Jen and I are a ready to hop a play to England and wait for that darn baby to be born.  We’ll need this notebook for the trip.

il_570xN.391674505_g2ba

But I’ll need this notebook for the rest of my life plans.

il_570xN.405212347_34dk

…and this one too….because it’s hard to conquer the world using nefarious ideas with just one notebook.

il_570xN.418436184_sn4v Along the way, I think I’ll pick up this little gift for my sister Kori, who I think has an entire Pinterest board dedicated to ‘how to be an introvert’…just in case she’s missing a few tricks in her little arsenal of ‘how to be left alone’.

Along with all the beauties above that I do desperately want, I discovered a few that I do not, in fact, want.

il_570xN.465697890_i47z

Like this comb set…made of dentures.  ?????

il_570xN.465694194_nfqt And the matching bracelet?  The above-mentioned sister Kori and I discussed this.  Is this a situation where family members didn’t have the nerve to tell someone that what they were creating wasn’t quite right?  Do they all sport them because they love them?  Or is the creator sitting in a cabin somewhere in the woods of Montana chunking these babies out and saving for a remote cabin expansion?

il_570xN.453468919_bnvp Meowwwwwww…….

il_570xN.340318435

…and if the kitties are a bit to risqué’, then there is always this more modest underwear option.  :)
