I hate Etsy.
What is Etsy?
Oh, just a website where you can peruse around looking at all kinds of handmade boutique-y goodness…
Stuff you can’t buy anywhere else.
My friends have been singing Etsy’s praises for a while now. But I couldn’t quite get into it.
Turns out that the reason I couldn’t was because I had a boy.
And now, I have girls.
Two of them.
And oh, the wonders of Etsy!!!
So much yummy cuteness!
It’s really easy for me to not buy stuff because I’m a cheapskate and I can easily tell myself that something is too expensive…
…but what happens when the adorable-ness is cheap too???!!!
And so, as much as I love Etsy, I hate that I can easily waste my entire day and thousands of dollars without even trying.
I really should only have boys.
This might be bad.
I might need an intervention.
But can you BLAME me when you see my latest purchases???
And really, they were less than $10 EACH! I mean, come ON! You can’t even get a (half as cute) little beanie at Target for that much!
It doesn’t help that she also makes these itty bitty clippies…
Like I said…this could be bad. Really bad.

You bought that?
ha ha ha. i was laughing anyway but then i saw andy’s comment. welcome to girl world, andy. just so you know, they will need more than one pair of shoes each. probably more like 3 pairs at least. and hair accessories and others, like purses and belts, earrings, etc. but, you’ll love it and tell them they look beautiful. :)
C’mon, Jeannett, don’t get all cutesy on me. I value your blog for your authenticity, your sarcasm, your honesty… now you’re getting froofy?? OK, wait… is this an April Fool’s post?? :-)
(At least the bows didn’t MATCH…)
Penny – does it count that it’s not for ME? I know, this weird uber girly-ness has been coming out of me since I found out they were girls…something about all that pink is making me gravitate towards ruffles and bows and all things I typically don’t “do”…strange.
It took me two years to embrace my daughters girlness. Now we are all about pink, purple, and princesses. Although, Aubrey has informed me that the Barbie aisle has EVERYTHING she wants for her Birthday this year.
Oh my goodness… can you post the site where you found those hats? I want one for my little Bella!
This is her Etsy shop
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6586391
You can email her and have her make specific colors if she doesn’t already have one pre-made that you like.
Thanks again for blogging this! I had two boys first and then a girl. Everything kinda changes when you have a girl. After my current sale I’m going to be having a referral sale so make sure if someone buys from my shop that they convo me letting me know you sent them! Have a great day!
I love/hate Etsy too…I think the stuff you got is cute, and I don’t do bows or anything girly like that (usually). I could spend tons of money on that website, so I stay away.
