Blame my dad for my cheapness

March 27, 2008

I’m somewhat cheap. I usually never buy an item of clothing that is over $30 and right now our living room is furnished with something we found in the trash. I’m sure most people are aware of a little site called Etsy where you can buy/sell homemade stuff. I love to browse this site but I’ve actually only bought one thing on it so far. I have the tendency to look at the items I like and say, “I could make that for a lot cheaper.” Is this wrong?


Wouldn’t this poster make you happy every morning?


This one is actually more affordable. I would put it in a child’s room. I just have thing for sock monkeys.


I guess I also have a thing for Scrabble.(this one is actually from the Curiousity Shoppe but I could totally make it)

    Hey Melanie! I just wanted to say that I love your blog! I look forward to new post! P.S. Etsy is awesome. I’ve never heard of it before.

    Mel, I saw Etsy on Martha a few weeks ago and stole an idea. There was this 25 year old girl who made these cute dolls, so I made 4 of them. I was going to send you one, but I sent them to Kathryn, Clare, Lily and my mom… I will send you one from my second batch… I will not be offended if you give it away. Long story short, I always think the same thing. Kell

    Thanks Erika. I read your blog too! I live vicariously through your glamorous NY life. I was so happy that you finally won the Wicked lottery.

    Kell, you should make stuff and sell it on Etsy. You are so talented.
