It has come to my attention

Yesterday, I was at the post office. I spend a lot more time there than I like, but I have packages to ship from Etsy sales, so it’s a good thing.
I have gotten friendly with one of the postal workers there. You know… I noticed her new hair cut, I ask about her new baby and whatnot. Yesterday, she asked me about my frequent shipping, what I sell, where I sell it, etc.
When I said that I have an Etsy shop, she looked at me like I was speaking in tongues.
Has everyone in the world not yet discovered the wonder that is Etsy?

If not, please, let me introduce you to your new favorite place to shop online.

There are so many creative and talented people in the world, and Etsy is a place where they all come together to share their creations.
As you may have already noticed, I have an Etsy shop. I sell jewelry there mostly, but every spring I make and sell bird feeders from dried gourds too. I have sold photography and a few other things as well.
It’s such a great feeling when someone in the world buys something I made with my own two hands.

It’s the best place to shop for unique gifts and artisan made anything.

Here are some of the treasures I found today:

This hat.

This bird.

This journal.

This tea pot.

This box which I have no idea what I would do with it, but I want it anyway.

This pillow. (I really love this)

…just to name a few.

It’s funny because I think I had to explain what etsy it to like 10 people last week- I am trying to get the word out there for you:)

I am always shocked when someone has never heard of it. I have to bite my tongue not to be like, WHAT?! ARE YOU LIVING IN A CAVE?!?! Sigh. I love the internet. :)

We had a RS activity with door prizes. I donated a gift cert. to my etsy shop. When they announced it, there were 2 people in the room of probably 40 that knew what etsy was. Seriously???? Etsy is a daily staple and has been for a long while. Weird.
