Every other person I know has an Etsy shop, but did you know that it is also possible to BUY items on Etsy?

It’s true! I have made many happy purchases! For example:

This is my yarn swift from The Knit Store. Dad had promised to make me one as soon as he felt better, so I determined (once I gave up on the idea of making my own [Dingo’s response to that idea: “Doesn’t salt water warp wood?”]) that I would definitely buy a handmade one. This was super inexpensive, and it’s just what I needed. I like it so much I bought one for my friend Gwyn. She got a big one, though.

Buttons! Made of birch twigs! From Button Boy, whose entire shop I want to buy, even though I do not need that many buttons.

Text blocks! Because I have a book project in mind and I am really lazy like that. From afainbooks, who can help you be a lazy bookbinder too.

I went to craftpudding to buy a rubber stamp with a ball of yarn on it, and I also got this tiny bowl because it is completely adorable in every way.

This awesome shirt. When I wore it to brunch one day, my friend Meg.2 said, “I’ve never seen an item of clothing so you!” I LOVE it. And many of the other items at idea2lifestyle.

Etsy: not just fun for sellers!
