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.

9/17/20: I passed a woman on my way to work carrying a dumb purse of truly comic proportions. The sight inspired this week’s Etsomnia theme – huge, gigantic, unreasonably enlarged (not what you were expecting, was it?) stuff on Etsy. And though I scrolled past thousands of offerings, I only found two items I truly loved.
