Duped by Etsy


Well well well. Boy do I feel silly! For the past few days I've been talking to Kurt and a few others about my "Etsy catastrophe" and my "Etsy disaster" and how I feel like "such an idiot!" and "Gah!" (Napoleon Dynamite style, of course)

That DARLING picture you see above was my first purchase on Etsy. I needed a new key chain because some boys in the youth group were trying to wrestle my keys away from Kurt (typical) and broke one of my key rings, so now they're all jammed on there and I can't hang up my keys on their hook. So, I decided not to buy the cute Fossil owl or bird key chains at Belk for $16 each, but to look on Etsy instead for something cute, handmade and less expensive.

I noticed after I ordered this totally cute owl key chain that my bank account was charged but I received no shipping notification. So, I emailed the seller. What else, right? The seller then notified me of my mistake. Apparently I forgot to read all of the information. It wasn't even the fine print that I missed, which makes this situation worse. The title of the item is

"Owl Key Chain Card Holder Machine Embroidery Design File."

Right there. At the top. First thing one would see...Machine Embroidery Design File. Apparently I stopped at "card holder." Sad. So, if any of you embroiderers (Ahem, Becca) want to make this for me, I'll send you the stupid file and you can make as many as you want. Gah.
