In fact, that's what mom and I did for Mother's Day! Ok, Mother's Day Eve (poor mom... she worked on MD). Don't worry, I sent the requisite chocolate but as we are thousands of kilometers apart a little etsy window-shopping over the phone was nearly as good as getting together for coffee and cupcakes.
By the end of the day we had seen many, many treasures and my list of favourite items grew by several sizes.
In the spirit of daydream shopping, here are a few of my faves:

PS ~ A while ago my brother pointed me to Regretsy, which is really funny and pretty disturbing.
lucky duct? cute!
ReplyDeletealso, super adorable way to feel a bond despite distance.
Happy to meet another Etsy addict. Discovering it has been my downfall! :-) I have never bought anything on eBay tho, have you?
ReplyDeleteWas also interested to see the owls featured. My little 'un and I LOVE owls. Maybe it's because of my Greek heritage, goddess of wisdom and all that?
Andie: Lucky duct is a good one too! Lots of cute etsy names. And well, you know it's non-stop adorable around here ; )
ReplyDeleteHi [name that I know but won't say in case you like to be annon. online!] fellow HMW-er! I did buy one thing on ebay, a (rare-ish)gift for my mom, but I had to use someone else's account and stuff because I wasn't really savy. I don't like the auction thing... too nerve-wracking. So etsy is much nicer, but sooooo addictively seductively time-absorbing. Owls! I know, that's a recent thing. Birds in general, actually. I never used to be that into them but lately I love them. I totally buy the goddess of wisdom explanation.
