Etsy Purchases #2

I think I once read on tumblr (follow me on Tumblr here that) that online shopping is like waiting for a present to arrive in the post, a present you bought yourself but still! I do get quite excited when I see little packages when I arrive home and these two packages were worth the wait.





I ordered the More Issues Than Vogue T-shirt here and it shipped from I think Thailand in about 3 weeks so I was impressed. This shirt is a Medium and actually measures long on me so just be wary. I've been
contemplating seeing if I turn it into a high low t-shirt but I am also very wary of trusting myself with a scissors.......

Look how cute the box is!!

I think I was at a confirmation (How Irish does that sound....) and I saw someone with their name on a Etsy to the rescue!! Interestingly it came from Israel (fun fact) and is just so dainty. You can also choose the length of the chain (The name is attached to the chain btw) and I chose the 18 inch just so it's low enough for others to see it.  I like it so so much!!
necklace and since then I have wanted one.











I can now see why people love Etsy so much. Even the waiting isn't that bad, or at least nothing for me has been so far. My friend has given out to me for introducing her to it.

Etsy Purchases #1

My poor beloved highly complemented penguin phone covers life has sadly come to an end (my brother ripped off one of his wings and tore the case itself.) I decided Etsy was the place to go to locate a new one.I do not know if falling into the Etsy universe was. I came across this lovely Lion King Phone Case, fitting as this year is the 20th anniversary of the film (does that make anyone else feel old??) The case took about 3 weeks to arrive. The only problem is the case is kinda.....slippery, the plastic has no grip at all and I have dropped my phone a few times, thankfully its a good sturdy case.

Somehow I got it into my head that I had to have a Marauders Map Purse/Wallet (yes from Harry Potter).
I looked and looked and I did find one.......that cost 50 euro and I thought well whats the point of having a purse if you don't have any money to put into it. Then I found The Duct Tape Diva who
made Marauders Map Pencil cases and also made Wallets, so I mailed her and asked would she possibly make me a custom case, and she was so lovely and made it. There is a misspelling in the purse unfortunately, but I still adore it!
this arrived after 3 weeks and I have gotten a lot of complements.




As you can see this is only the first of I'm sure many Etsy purchases. I may or may not have 2/3 orders on the way.....
