because everyone who has ears {or eyes} knows that i am crazy about etsy, i wanted to share a little bit. people often ask me what the heck i buy on etsy. well, its more like, what dont i buy on etsy. etsy is full of treasures beyond my wildest dreams. i love all of the creativity that each person contributes to this website. here are a few *goodies* that i have collected from etsy. this necklace, {i know i just shared it, but i have to again}. i got it here. her jewelry is beautiful. i encourage you to check out her little shop.
this little ipod holder. seriously, how rad is it?? i keep my ipod nano in it. i got it here. loves it.
this random little piece that i just adore. picked this baby up right here. are you following me yet and the interest i find in the creators and the artist that contribute to etsy??
allow me to go on,,,, i have actually gotten a few aprons from this lady, they are amazing. the fit perfect, they are so fun and she ships out right away, {always a plus}.
this shop is awesome. i love having a cutie pie camera strap for my VIP camera. she deserves it.
and finally, and {of course} there is this shop that i frequent, like everyday,,,, we all know i have picked up quite a few goodies from missy elsie. i cant resist. she is so amazing!!! so my style!!
