I’m currently working on paying off three trips, one to Florida in June, one to San Francisco for BlogHer and now Las Vegas in October. I really need to pick up a part time job, as in I might bite the bullet and do retail again.
Living the Good Life and working as a part time nanny doesn’t go hand in hand. How do I deal with this?
Shopping, obviously.
But seriously, I’ve been looking for an every day bag to use for work and and just running around. I mean, really, I can wear my MJ out, he doesn’t deserve that. I also wanted an bag that goes across the body. I decided Etsy would be the perfect spot to look considering my new found obsession with it. So I searched and searched until I came across this lovely little shop.
Infusion
Here you will find a fine infusion of organic and natural fibers such as hemp, linen, cotton, silk, wool, buckwheat and kapok. We appreciate materials the body can relate to. We hope you enjoy too.
I ordered this bag on Tuesday and got it on Thursday. It’s perfect from the size down to the little details make the bag so much better. Abby was super sweet and even threw in this little tiny pillow filled with herbs. It smells amazing!

Definitely go give Infusion a look. There are all kinds of wonderful bags, pillows and more.
Etsy finds may be a new thing around here. I’ve found so many awesome shops on Etsy so I think it would be kind of cool to put them up every now and then. I’ve already ordered from 5 shops in the past week! Also, no one is paying me or giving me stuff to do this. I just thought it would be fun.

What a cute bag! I’ll definitely have to check out that shop.
Etsy is fantastic — giving so much opportunity to normal people to get a little business doing what they love. Much better than buying at some corporate conglomerate where the CEO gets a cut of the sale. (God, I let my hippie side bleed through all the time!)
If I was really cool, I’d try to sew a bag myself…someday…

Great bag!
My fiance and I purchased some art from Etsy last year. It was a really great experience. I have also purchased a few items from a friend who has her shop on Etsy. Definitely a great place for the little guy/gal to sell his/her wares at prices you and I can afford!

I have a strict “No Etsy” Rule until I make some more money. It’s too tempting!

I love Etsy. I wish that I had money so I could buy nearly everything I see on there.
I have an Etsy shop, but I don’t do a lot with it at this point.

Hey, I live in Florida! What’s going in Florida? You coming down for vacation or something?
I “window shop” on Esty all the time. I have a lot of bookmarks for my favorite items, but have yet to actually buy anything.

I just checked out the shop and she does beautiful work…I especially love her modern block bag. Although her Belle Bag is pretty tempting too. And the half moon sling. Damn but I wish I were rich!

That’s an awesome bag, and I see it comes in purple too!
the shape of it reminds me of one I have, and use EVERY day, only the strap of mind isn’t quite so long, at least I don’t think it is.
I suspect you’ll use this bag rather a lot, if you’re anything like me!

I’m in love with that bag!! Of course, most of what I got out of that post was, “Orlando, Florida”. I’m excited for our little bloggy meet up; can you say “Margaritaville”?

Isn’t Etsy great?! I definitely think you found yourself a keeper of a bag, especially for everyday use. Finding the right back for the right occasion is always harder than it seems, lol.

I’m a fan of moop bags, although they are bit more expensive than the one you highlighted in this post. I think I may buy one with my tax refund. Worth checking out.
