Why did I need one more website to add to all my usual virtual haunts?

My online shopping addiction and my yearning for a ruffled purse of my own collided one cold, depressing afternoon in early February when I ran out of websites to look at and the idea of searching for a ruffled purse on Etsy popped into my head. Let me tell you, folks, that I don't believe my life will ever be the same.

Insert sigh of contentment. I really hope Spring comes soon or Visa is going to love me.
