What I Would Like to Wear Just Once Before I Die…

During lunch I like to look through my Etsy email. Do you get an Etsy email? If you don’t, I believe you should. Today’s email was about "Mad Men". I’ve never seen it myself, but I love the clothes from it. So the Etsy email got me looking at these clothes and made me think.. "Gee I wish I could wear that".. So I’ve compiled a list of items I’d like to wear before I die…

Here’s the first one… I think I’d wear this one to church.. our church is pretty casual,

so I guess I wouldn’t wear the pearls 😉

Here’s number two.. I have no idea where I would wear this… maybe I would just clean

the bathrooms in it..

Here’s #3.. Who doesn’t love a red dress.. I think I would vaccum in this one… with pearls

and heels. Then I would know what it feels like to be Wally & Beaver’s mother.

Shopping instead of Working..

So here I am… I am suppose to be working, but what am I doing? Picking out stuff I want on Etsy.

Here’s a Paper Bag Journal. Why do I need this? Who Knows.. But I love it!

This is so cute! It’s an Wall Candle Organizer Vase Sconce Insulator Set

I love this pillowcase dress for #3. She’d be pretty cute in it..

Here’s a very cute 3 Little Pigs lamp. I’m not crazy about the shade but I have a special place for it.

The Best Excess to have.. Super cute charm bracelet

What’s the Difference between Etsy & eBay?

I had someone ask me what the difference was between Etsy and eBay.. I told them one is for vintage or handmade items (Etsy) and the other was for anything and everything. While I was thinking about my statement to my friend, I realized it would be so much easier to show the difference here:

Topic: Costume…

eBay’s idea of a costume.. Dr McCoy from Star Trek

Etsy’s idea of a costume… Moist Mother Earth

Topic: Beaded Necklace

eBay: Judith Ripka necklace

Etsy: Klewism Dabbles

Topic: Soap

eBay: Lot of 11 Gamila Olive Oil Soap

Etsy: Soap of the Month

Did you see the difference? One is artsy and cool.. (ETSY) and eBay has a little bit of everything.. but not so much artsy and cool. Don’t take it personal if you are an eBay person.. I know I’m not :0
