So many people don’t realize the power of buying from etsy! Most think it’s expensive or find things over priced and that Amazon has the better deal. Myself however, I’m addicted to buying off etsy. It’s rewarding to know that I’m able to provide food, warmth, gifts whatever it is… to someone else’s home. Buying from small shops is their business and the way they make their living.
One of the biggest insults I ever received was when I was having a conversation about wedding rings mind you mine is handmade from an etsy store, bought for 900$ plus shipping and taxes so almost 1,000$.. now to me that is alot of money. To the person who will remain anonymous, they stated how they deserved an actual diamond ring from Kay jewelers and won’t settle for a silly ring off etsy.
To be honest, I was hurt, genuinely hurt by that statement. I’m a good mother and wife I believe I deserve a 12,000$ ring too but you don’t see me complaining or putting others down over it.
To that person, good luck with your materialistic world.
Best,
