Etsom·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.

“Spectacular” seashell bridal bouquet. That thing looks like it smells like old seaweed and delusion.Just lovely! By the cleverly-named WeShellOvercomeOh, dear.This is just wonderful! By SeasidesbyDesignI admire the effort that must have gone into this, but would you want it on your wall?What a beautiful job! By BriThornDecorCongratulations to this week’s Most Etsy prize, a shell painting of a mermaid canoodling with the devilI love how well they matched the painting to the shape of the shell! By AtlantiqueDesignsWhile it is kind of cute, the derpery level cannot be ignored.
I was already chuckling at the derpy shell elephant (shelephant?) when I then saw the image and read your caption for the mermaid-devil tinder date and I just had to laugh out loud – loud enough to wake my cat. If I did not live in landlocked Pennsylvania, I would be tempted to incorporate some decoupaged shells into my home. I was quite taken with those.

Thank you! However, we have oodles of shells of our own. What I lack is the time and the skill!
