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! ❤ ❤ ❤
