Pretend Internet shopping -- the Etsy addition

You asked, so I'll answer. OK, so maybe you didn't ask but I said I would explain "pretend Internet shopping" and I will. So here it goes. Basically it's window shopping on the web. I do a lot of looking and very little buying. Awesome?! Right? Right. OK, so it's a little boring but being dull never killed anyone, at least not that I'm aware of.

So anyway, pretend Internet shopping. It's a nice way to unwind after a long day or kill some time surfing the web. Sure, I'll shop J. Crew or Nordstrom -- the old standbys, but lately my obsession is Etsy. But be careful. It's easy to get carried away with this one and soon you'll find yourself wondering where the afternoon went and coveting several dozen items. Handbags? Jewelry? Stationary? Baking supplies? Etsy has got it. For those not in the know, Etsy is an online market place where folks sell homemade and vintage items.

Here's a look at what Etsy items I'm eying. Look for a post coming soon about my successful Etsy purchases and pretend Internet shopping -- the Etsy wedding addition.
