The Ones That Got Away

If you are anything like me I have a gazillion favorite things on Etsy. I try to keep it around 7 or 8 pages and no more. One of my OCD features. I delete sold things generally, or once in a blue moon I change my mind about an item. Sometimes I covet things FOREVER lusting after them waiting for that special moment when I have enough money to make it mine. It GUTS me whenever I see one of my favorites has been sold. Dont get me wrong. Im happy for the seller. I really am. Im just crushed that I couldnt have been the sale. These are the things I loved so much I cant even delete them from my favorites. Some of these things were sold the DAY I got the funds to buy them. These are the ones that got away.

Taking The Plunge

Yes my friends, I have started my own Etsy shop. You can visit it here! My hopes for it are simple. I just want to add a little to the family income while doing something I enjoy. It gives me a reason to go thrifting and if I find something awesome that I cant pass up but dont need, I can still buy it! Haha! I dont plan on making big bucks and I hope my prices reflect that. Anyways, mosey on over and take a peek and add me to your circle and all that good social network stuff. Below is a few things in the shop currently.

The Cats Meow Revisited

A long while back I purchased a pair of cat eye frames. I got them but I wasnt super pleased with how they fit on my face. I know they couldve probably adjusted them but I dont live with "probablies" in my life. Im a planner so I knew I had to sell them and get a different pair. I checked on Etsy and found a pair of tortoise frames with rhinestones from shop Vintage50sEyeWear that I wanted to give a whirl. BUT, I didnt have the money for them. So I messaged and asked (or begged, whichever you prefer) for a payment plan or even a swap. I had never done that before ever so I didnt have high hopes. I sent her pics of my pair of frames and she said it was a go - even Steven! I was soo excited. I finally got my new specs back last week. Im not sure they fit my face per se but ask me if I entirely care.

Also got this pair for when Im "unvintage". Be kind. It was late in the day by this time and I had dealt with many a poopy diaper.

So yeah, Im pleased so I thought Id share.

P.S This is the first time Ive had a photo of myself on my blog. Weird eh. No fancy tripod or camera for this girl. I dont ever plan to get one either!

The Cats Meow

Im in the market for some new glasses and Id really like to buy some vintage cat eye glasses and get my new lens put into them. BUT Im afraid that the frames will get all busted up. Has anyone out there in blogger world done this? What was your experience like? Tell me! Im dying to know!
