A Handmade Tale

September 18, 2009

Once upon a time, a sprightly young girl was salvaging through the vast and often unpredictable forest we shall call "the Web" looking for some unique and undiscovered accessories. She wanted jewelry that wasn't mass produced or purses that every other woman had hanging from their shoulder. She wanted... an Etsy-find!

She quickly typed in e...t...s...y... .com, and was whisked away into a word of quirkiness and eccentricities. A place where craftiness wasn't a trait to condemn, but a valuable asset to promote.


She found handmade items galore and vintage finds a plenty -- she had found the mother lode of unique and wondrous gems: peacock headband,
lovely necklaces, chic convertible totes and rose petal scarves. And the prices weren't bad either!

With a wave of excitement, she clicked "Buy," "Buy," "Buy," and was elated in knowing that her finds were exactly what she was looking for.

When they finally arrived at her front porch, she was excited to try them on. She starred confidently at herself in the mirror, knowing that she would carry these one-of-a-kind pieces with love and pride.

From that day on, she was hooked on that magical place called Etsy!
