Anticipation

Last year I learned about Etsy. Have you heard of it, visited the site, and/or bought anything? If not, let me give you a quick rundown (those of you who already know, bear with me). Etsy is basically like an online craft store where people list things they have made. The items vary as well as the prices!

After my hearing about it and visiting the site I took the notion that I needed a new necklace. Well, I sort of did. One of mine had broken and unfixable (see? I was in 'need'!). So I perused the site and found several that would fill the need. I decided upon this one:



But I was sorely disappointed. It turned out to be a cheapy piece and I was very unsatisfied. So I turned to Ebay and found a lovely necklace that is now serving me well.

Recently I came into need again when I bought two t-shirts. The neckline, color and style does not lend themselves to any of the necklaces I have. So I turn once again to Etsy to fill my need. After searching and searching for just the right piece I found this one:



I bought it yesterday. What do you think? I am telling myself that it won't turn out to be another piece of junk. But I suppose I'll find out in about a week. I'm a little excited and a little nervous. But, I only paid two bucks for it, so I suppose I can't be too disappointed.

Just saying hello and that the necklace looks cute. I hope it is nice when you get it. Also, your baskets were adorable. You are so talented.

Hope you're happier this time! A little gamble is always fun though, right? Ok, maybe not, but it looks cute & different.

Oh that stinks you got something yucky on etsy. Everything I've bought there has been great---but I've never done jewelry.

Noelle.....hahaha, you read my profile?? Well, I put that 'law enforcement/security' thing in there because that is how I feel at times with these kiddos I've got! :) I wasn't sure if anyone would catch that or not. Good eye! :)
