etsy? i love you. do you want to get married?

friends. bloggers. blog readers.

my blog has become a once a week update. how lame. i'm not going to apologize, because i'm not real sure how many people actually feel as if they are missing out, but i DO want to be more regular!

first, i will have to put off the reveal of my dresser. the knobs i bought were too short and i am waiting until they are on sale again to get new ones! i still need tips on painting furniture... how many coats of poly should i have used? do i need to sand in between coats?

anyway. i know that wednesday is supposed to be healthy post day. and while i've sneakily sidestepped that issue for the past 2 weeks, i actually have some progress this week. not any numbers, but progress! Been really limiting my carbs and increasing my consumption of protein, fruits, and veggies! yay team!

now, lets get down to the title of the post... my etsy love. i've been looking for christmas gifts (no, it is never too early) on etsy and discovered a plethera, an array, a LARGE AMOUNT of things i am now obsessed with. drumroll, please:

first of all, i miss you when you don't post. that's reason enough, right? :) but, girl, i also know how busy you are!

looove the etsy stuff. i've spent way too much time on there and i'm in another country!

and i can't wait to see the dresser! as far as painting tips, i've painted a lot, but i have none. i think it mostly depends on what you want the finished product to look like. old and vintage or new and clean? i usually just put one coat of poly on things that are going inside. maybe an extra light layer on the areas that will get heavy use (like the top of a table, etc).

and yum.
yum, yum, yum.
