last week, i came home from work and logged on to check my etsy. i had a message from a seller i didn't recognize. they didn't have a shop, had no profile information filled out, had a very plain avatar, and it said that they had become a member of etsy that day. strange indeed. inside the message from them was a simple link to a facebook site. no explanation, no signature, no nothing! i wouldn't have even clicked on it if it weren't for the title of the message.
imagine my surprise when i click on the link and the facebook page takes me to a shop with a photo of not one, but TWO monsters that i adore. i almost hyperventilated trying to figure out if they were for sale and if so how i could get them before anyone else could. long story short, i found out that my etsy shop came up in a google search when the owner of this shop was trying to research what she had on her hands. she was nice enough to create an account just to get a hold of me because she knew i was looking for them! out of thin air, i had acquired a fairy monster-mother! neat!
as if this story isn't already cool enough, it was more than just a pair of monsters -- they were twins!! TWINS!! matching colors but in the opposite patterns. have you ever SEEN such a thing???! two matching monster twins, in great shape, probably kept together since birth. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
the happy family...
PLUS TWINS!!!
truly a happy day indeed
as it turns out, my fairy monster-mother is linda, one half of the pair who owns and runs this excellent vintage shop in the seattle, washington area called no parking on pike. just LOOK at this place! i'm dying to visit. if you're in the neighborhood, stop in and buy me something!
SSSSOOOOOO jealous of the Naugas. I've wanted one forever, but can never afford decent ones when I come across them. My mom had one as a kid, but she didn't keep it. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lotta Naugas! Congrats!
