Oh, how I love this Signed Numbered Al Hirshfeld print of Marilyn Monroe sold by BlkBttrflyDsgns

Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

I hit 4,000 followers this week! In honor of my 4,000 closest friends (individual results may vary), I thought I’d take a look at $4K items on Etsy. Why not? Of course, it wouldn’t be Etsy if there weren’t at least a few tragedies and nutty items, but I was mostly very pleasantly surprised by what I found!

In some cases, the hefty price tag is clearly a typo, but I really didn’t find too many items for which the $4K price tag seemed out of place. Yes, there were some things I couldn’t live with, but that doesn’t mean their price was out of line. Okay, if I had $4K burning a hole in my pocket (I do not), I still wouldn’t spend it on a collectible, no matter how much the thing is supposedly worth. I’d much rather buy something sparkly!

I hope you have as much fun checking out these wonderful finds as I did, and thank you, thank you, thank you for all the support! ❤ ❤ ❤

This 15′ Built-to-Order Wood Canvas Canoe is so beautiful, you could hang it on the wall and call it art! By WoodCanvas

The makers of these hyper-realistic (read: ugly) dolls call their craft “reborning.” The name is as disgusting and disturbing as the by-product

I guess if you can afford to live on the beach, your dog may as well have a swanky life, too! Lifeguard Stand Doghouse by BohemianWorkbench

I’m not much of a sports fan, but even I am amazed by this 1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle Card sold by BriarcliffMarket

I thought this "art" consisting of piles of junk was $4K. I was wrong. the $4K listing is for four placemat prints of the piles of junk. That's different.

I thought it was insane that this “art” consisting of piles of junk was $4K. Then I read the listing more closely. It’s actually $4K for four laminated placemat prints of piles of junk. Alrighty.
