My Love/Hate Relationship with Etsy

I love Etsy.

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.

Stuff that is so cute it hurts.

Stuff that you can bet your bottom no other kid on the playground will be wearing!

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.
