At times, I have a hard time spending money on myself. I like giving gifts and I love writing correspondence but the me part is one of my quirks. My 28th birthday was last week and I purchased three Etsy pieces for MYSELF... 
Square Pendant from Michelle Swafford Pottery
Earrings from The Peach Tree
{Fiestaware mug from the thrift store. It's my new ice cream dish!}
My earrings came in these little crocheted bags. I admire the joint venture that Etsy can provide. What a creative idea for packaging! I love tea, too!

Etsy update at my end...
I wrote a post awhile back mentioning my interest in setting up a little shop. I'm still interested in these creative pursuits. My clever, imaginative husband has decided to join me, too! 
Brad took two holidays this week to paint, play board games and relax. He's working on some watercolor postcards with original comic art. I think the reason Brad has decided to sell his art on Etsy with me is so that he can funnel "his" sales to buy more board games- ha! Hey, whatever it takes to get an art buddy!
I will post more information as soon as we figure out shop details.
