A Love Affair with Etsy

My wonderful friend and fellow HHH member, Sondra, turned me on to Etsy, "Your Place to Buy and Sell all things Handmade", an amazing virtual marketplace. I have been hooked on Etsy ever since my first visit. I've purchased quite a few things, mostly gifts, from Etsy, but my most recent purchase is what I am here to blog about today!

The I Love Books Zippered Pouch, by Kukubee

http://www.etsy.com/shop/kukubee

I am a librarian at a public library and was recently given the opportunity to interview for a promotion.... and..... I got it!!! I am now the Assistant Manager of Outreach Services. This is something I've worked very hard for and am very proud of. I thought that all of my stress and hard work deserved a new special something and I absolutely fell in love with this cute little pouch!

The design is just adorable. On the front of the pouch is a girl reading a book, sitting on and surrounded by stacks of books. The text reads, I Love Books.

What I love so much about this, is that it is handmade and very unique. I can't wait to whip it out in front of my librarian friends!! It is just perfect for small items like pens/pencils, lip gloss or even change.

"I've traveled the world twice over,

Met the famous; saints and sinners,

Poets and artists, kings and queens,

Old stars and hopeful beginners,

I've been where no-one's been before,

Learned secrets from writers and cooks

All with one library ticket

To the wonderful world of books."
