{i might have a problem}

but it's all etsy's fault. i just keep finding so many things that i need (i also might place subjective definitions on words). i come across so many blog posts and think "hey, i need that!" and then scurry over to etsy to find something similar. i should stop there, but i can't help myself. great sellers have great stores. great stores create great needs. great needs cause a great big dent in the tax return check. *sigh* 

thanks to the lettered cottage, i became obsessed with nesting herb crates. to my delight, steve really liked them too and i quickly purchased them before he could change his mind. in a few days, we will be giving these guys a home in our dining room nook. 

(so.stoked.)

they can be found at whitewash sundries's etsy shop {and if you mention "letteredcottage" in the message to seller before february 12th, you get 10% off!}

well, being the great shop that it is, and that darn little preview on the right side of the screen, i see some other fab things - like this:

{remember my cookie-cutter entry & how excited i am for libby's "good girl" treats? they need to be stored in here, no?} 

you choose the dog silhouette and the monogram on the lid. adorbs!

and, you might remember my nautical theme post? well i was debating on whether to grab the sailor's knot bracelet, when i saw this beauty too. 

ahh, now i love them both. bank account, don't make me choose! 

i'm still trying to decide on a vintage pair of frye's (fryes? fries? no no). 

i've never purchased vintage shoes before, and it's kind of scary to me. but i'm also having a hard time saying no to a pair of perfectly worn in, soft, leather frye boots.

 (no link for you until i decide if i want to buy them or not...teehee)

i used to be so good - just "window shop" online but rarely pull the trigger (or rather, the cvc on the back of my credit card). must be because i haven't gone b&m shopping in quite awhile, thanks to mother nature. i suppose a little retail therapy never hurt anybody.
