(or How to Upset An Entire Website's Worth of People)
In the last 24 hours, thanks to the magic of internet forums, I've managed to anger hundreds of people (and entertain a handful). My MEN vs ETSY post on Aisledash.com brought on a sea of comments, mostly from Etsy lovers, buyers and sellers with some choice words for the guy who hates people who make things.
And those of you who know me (or know this blog) know too that I am not that guy. I hate very few people. None of them make things.
I was going to publish this post later in the week, but I see now that this is actually the only way to put out this ever-expanding fire:
2E's and I have been exploring options for our out-of-towner gift bags ... and to save you all a load of time and energy, you should know that "99-cent vintage viewfinders" just don't exist. Without telling the 2E's, I decided to browse a certain online shopping center to find something chic and unique ... and perhaps in the 99-cent range.
What I stumbled upon was
ChickPrint's storefront (vowing "old school stationery for all") and her both chic and unique Brooklyn greeting cards. How cool, I thought, to personalize each gift bag with a greeting card and give your guests the impression that theirs is not just one in a slew of bags scattered throughout adjacent hotel rooms.
When they arrived this afternoon, "You bought something off Etsy?!?!" wasn't the
first thing out of her mouth, but it did come shortly after.
P.S. I captured the above photo the very moment we opened the package -- not for my own posting purposes but rather by request; ChickPrint wanted to see 2E's reaction when she saw the cards for the very first time.
