Etsy: A Happy Place


Screen printed Pin cushion ring (adjustable) - PINK HOUSE

Sue-Anne suggested to me yesterday that I should look into offering personal styling services.

I don’t know if that’ll actually happen this year, but I do know that I’ve been hooked onto Etsy lately.

There is just so much there that is fascinating and wonderful, excluding the wonderfully overpriced. If I could have a system that channels and recommends the products that I love, that would be pretty awesome, even for the sellers themselves.

Seriously, our generation is so skeptical about mass production especially when it comes to apparel and even greeting cards, and don’t forget, every woman likes to be reminded how special she is by possessing a unique piece of accessory. Handmade items from overseas sold online might just be the affirmation to our musings about individual existence. Or at least, they should suffice to distract us from worrying about never finding an answer!

Some sellers take too much pride in their products and price them ridiculously. But if you dig hard enough, it’s pretty easy to find gems like these:
