Featured Seller: Girly Girl Bags

This is an Etsy 911 moment.

So I'm sitting here on a Sunday morning, trying to bring YOU -- my BELOVED READERS -- the best and brightest of Etsy and what's happening?

The 15-month old is refusing Fruity Pebbles and demanding chicken nuggets. The 4 year old is jumping on the furniture and pretending not to know one of his friends. My annoying dog keeps begging to go outside, then begging to come inside.

I stink. I haven't showered in (insert embarassing number of days here). Let's not even talk about my diet.

My only refuge is this:



This is an emergency. I need beauty, style, comfort.

My niece told me I used to be a "tom girl" and that now I am a "girly girl" so hence the name!

Final words?
My father in law refurbishes sewing machines and kept trying to give me one. I kept telling him I had no interest in sewing until my sister in law showed me some placemat purses she made. I started sewing on a little plastic Singer then graduated up to my Huskvarna. This was two years ago and I haven't looked back since!
