fess up friday - etsy stalker

Etsy. Just the word makes my heart pitter patter. Whenever I have something that I need to do but would rather put off (laundry, dishes, etc.) I go on Etsy for awhile instead. It's a much better use of time in my opinion.<br /><br />"Big deal Elizabeth, everybody loves Etsy." I hear you, but here is my fess up - I have 17 pages of  saved Items I Love. It is a sickness people. I try to go in and periodically clean the list up, but whenever I do that it usually ends up growing. There is just too much awesome in one place. I can't stop myself.<br /><br />Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qr4jyKRFu1cgpPqyINA4b_ZYmauit36cwqlkhjAdK6mL1kar4rmd9BIETO5CZoyh1dozTB2cAsjZlO6fhKpKg20qFeJX58uFu-k0J7zHH6qf3K78wWqdzBYCsE8c1lOGGKDKj8tNpPu1/s1600/web_logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qr4jyKRFu1cgpPqyINA4b_ZYmauit36cwqlkhjAdK6mL1kar4rmd9BIETO5CZoyh1dozTB2cAsjZlO6fhKpKg20qFeJX58uFu-k0J7zHH6qf3K78wWqdzBYCsE8c1lOGGKDKj8tNpPu1/s1600/web_logo.png" /></a></div><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AriannaBelle" target="_blank">AriannaBelle</a> - she's a sponsor of LBD for a good reason - she makes hella good pillows.
