Addiction

My name is Kerri and I am an addict. I am an Etsy user. For those of you who don't know about Etsy, it's a shopping website that showcases (typically) homemade items. I was first introduced to the site when a very dear friend of mine who makes and sells nursing cloaks had be purchase one for a friend through her store. I didn't really understand the site and just went on to make the purchase and that was it. Well, a blogger that I follow posted a link to a friend's store which I was interested in. So I went to her store and was immediately hooked! So now I'm a shopaholic, but only at Etsy. While I love my favorite stores, I can't help but shop Etsy when I get free time. I can now relate to my mom's addition to Facebook games because my vice is Etsy.

What's crazy is Etsy has a function where you can "pounce" on new stores. So while I was pouncing (which is really where my addiction lies), I found a posting for a beautiful baby blanket. It is hand-stitched in the same way as CCR's "woobie" which was a gift from my mother's best friend Mrs. Hamdorf. So I sent a note to the store owner to see if she could make one for a little girl. She sent me a note right back. I was so surprised that she was so prompt. Well, it turns out she was in the middle of creating her store and getting her blankets posted. So here I was pouncing her at the same time she was getting started. I was sure to let her know that the pounce function works because she only had one blanket listed when I found her and halfway through our conversation, she had all five listed...just crazy timing!

Anyway, I need to get off of the computer because regardless of all of the cool tabs that are open, I'm stuck in Etsyland...
