Obsession with Etsy

I don't know why it has taken me so long to really get into Etsy. I have known about it for ages but had never bought anything, probably due to my fear of paypal, but I had followed a link to a stationery club and it took me to Etsy.  The lure of a box of stickers, paperclips and washi tape was too much so I ordered it.  To my surprise I didn't have to pay through paypal, so I can sit that irrational fear to one side to deal with another day:).

Now I don't watch tv, I watch Etsy instead.

Etsy is full of things that you didn't even know existed but now your life feels that bit emptier without them in it. So I thought I would share some of these little gems with you as I find them.

The first thing is an item of pure genius, there seem to be quite a few sellers doing similar things, which surprised me, who would have known there would have been such high demand.  I was looking for a hat for Wear a Hat Day and I came across this:

Who wouldn't want one of these?

This one is from an Etsy shop called Crafty Ridge and they do a selection of other novelty hats that you didn't know you needed:)  There is also a shop called KnotARealBeard, which I think is a brilliant name, they are also from the UK and it's always good to support local businesses.  

In the end, due to time constraints, I had to borrow a selection of hats from my kids but I'm pretty sure that I'll be wearing one of these to the next wedding I attend:)
