Although I love many things I’ve found on Etsy, I generally don’t shop for myself. It’s just not in my budget. So when I shared a set of pretty green items on St. Patrick’s Day, I certainly didn’t plan on buying any of them. (Wishing I could, sure, but I usually leave it at that.) One of those items stuck in my mind, though. I loved it, and I found myself thinking about it and worrying everyday about whether someone would buy it. So after a week, I figured maybe it was a sign that this one was very special, and I’d regret it if I didn’t buy it while I could. So now I am the happy owner of Alina Hayes’ Norway Spruce Green Pitcher.

You should definitely check out Alina’s shop. She has many beautiful pieces, and I was very pleased with her customer service and shipping. My little pitcher arrived quickly and wrapped in plenty of bubble wrap. Now that I’ve got it, I need to decide what to do with it (besides just smiling at it).
