Okay so someone on blogland (if only I could remember who) introduced me to Etsy not too long ago. Oh my heavens! If you have never had the pleasure of visiting you are missing out. It’s like a gigantic crafts fair online! It has sucked me in so bad that I clearly may need some counseling soon. Not really a shocker there though considering I never do anything half way. I’m an all or nothing kind of girl, believe me if I hadn’t discovered blogging I might be at the point where a second mortgage was necessary just to pay for my Ebay purchases. Thankfully I earn money blogging and not the other way around or I’d be in big trouble.
Well I still might be because this Etsy, there are things to buy, there are things that call my name. There are things I can’t resist. Who knew I needed a Flirty Household apron until I saw this little number (clicking on the next two pictures will take you to the site):
or are you ready for this?
This little beauty that had my name written all over it:
So in an effort to give my Etsy perusing some purpose I thought I’d do a little “research”, you know for my business…wink wink. And, as is my usual method, if I can get others hooked along with me I’ll feel even better :)
I now give you thirteen storage items available on Etsy:
1. Felt baskets for your drawers
2. Car Visor Cellphone Organizer
6. Decorated card tin organizer
10. Old Train Case
12. Purse organizer (so great!)
13. Apothecary end table with drawers
So awesome, so creative, such fun! Which one is your favorite?

Hi Laura.. my favorite would the handpainted storage crate and also the earring holder.Adorable.. Thanks for sharing and Etsy is pretty wonderful,I’ve found a few lovely customs for McKenna to wear ,a few of my message board friends have stores…Have a great day..
Lord - I have an addiction to buying organizational items. I just never quite use them.
I loved the title of your post! Great addiction to have - please come help me! lol
Great list….nice catch for TT! Hope you’ll visit my TT post too
I love Etsy as well! I love my apron as well, and so does my sis. I’m getting her one for her birthday.
Thanks for introducing me to the aprons!
Oh my. I could SO grab a lot of this stuff up.
I like a lot of it. I like the earing holder - very creative.
I LOVE the woodend organizer, card tin, and letter/mail sorter. So cute! Thanks for introducing me to this site!
the title of your post made me laugh so hard!
I love them all! Great minds think alike! My first post about “Organizing with Etsy” is going up as I type. It has been the only scheduled post I have tried.
So funny that you would post this. I actually have an etsy shop to sell my handmade jewelry but I find that I buy more from other people’s shops than I sell in my own….. It’s a terrible addiction and buying things from other women and WAHM’s is such a great way to support them!
Oh and I LOVE that ceramic earring pot! Too cute.
Great stuff! Love the earring holder. I am going to check it out right away!!!
Oohh… That train case is GORGEOUS!! And I love the earring holders.
I love etsy too, great creators there! My TT is up too.
I love your site. I’ve been lurking around for a while!
Oh wow. Thank you for another addiction! :D I am in luff with those handbags!! Gonna have to buy one or three! :D
I love the end table…of course in my head I could make the other stuff myself!! Doesn’t mean I would or anything!!
I’ll have to check out Etsy again…I totally need one of the aprons.
How could you give me a link to an adorable purse only for them to be sold out?! You know how I am about purses. I’m devastated and will need therapy. ;v)
I’m loving that blue bowl type earring holder. How cute is that?
I love #5!! That would go great on our kitchen counter to catch all the junk we drop there. I alredy was addicted to esty, then I weaned myself. Now I’m afraid I’m back to being addicted:)
I really like that purse organizer - it would be great for my catch-all diaper bag.
I have one of the Flirty aprons! I love it. That was the first thing I got on Etsy, then an apron for my MIL, and now a custom purse. Anyone that hasn’t gone there should be careful, it’s VERY addicting lol.
You are EVIL. Must. Spend. Money. :)
i need organization, but i’m poor at the moment.
I like the table ,it’s cute !
i love the apron! I want to get myself one!
I love the idea of a purse organizer, but it would only add to the mess.
Of course I love the aprons, but I have made a couple of those car organizers as gifts too - they are great for keeeping your phone handy but out of the way…
Hi Laura! I really love your blog! I’ve been reading it like craaazzy! I have gained new tips on organizing our home. I’m a newlywed and just starting on organizing. I thought I was weird for being so into cleaning then I saw your blog and I’m really inspired!
Etsy has the best stuff! I got a flirty apron myself for $12 and I saw one just like it at Anthropologie going for $40! Can you believe that? Etsy has great stuff and really is a super craft market online.
This is my favorite Etsy item…I have three in my car. They are so cute and practical!

And the basket carnival sounds fun…I’m in!
Oh, I really like that ceramic earring holder.. I mean really. I’m going to go search for it. I’m just going to tell my husband it’s your fault! :-D
OMG !!! You are such a bad influence! I love it !! I too am an organizing junkie. I can not buy enough things to keep me organized. Im hooked on this new site Etsy. Thanks Laura!
Oh, please don’t interest me in another site where I am going to spend all my hard-earned cash! I like the mail/letter organizer, but I think I could do one myself, but that apothecary table - I love it!
I love Etsy! Even just to browse, it is amazing the items people have made.
Thanks for the Etsy tip! I’m ordering the earring holder/bowl right now, and seriously contemplating the earring tree, too. Anything to get my earrings off of the counters! :)
I am loving these Laura… I have to say I am a little embarrassed that a.) I haven’t read my reader for over a week and b.)I have never gone to esty.com. What the hell is my problem? Thanks for directing me… as usual I am such a follower of yours :)
I never would have thought to look on Etsy for storage stuff, but oh my WORD that stuff is CUTE!!
Thanks for the heads up!
Oh my gosh your site is soooo me! I’m an organizing junkie myself! Love your site!
Those are great items!!!
Good thing that I know I CANNOT buy anything or I might cause the ole credit card to self destruct.
Love the automobile cell phone organizer. I’m actually thinking of buying it.
I know this thread is old, but I love etsy too!!!!
