Wedding Woes

help me be smart

there is a pin on etsy that i want.  the seller is in latvia.  she has no previous sales.

however, no one is making anything like it.  it is only $14, and shipping is $2.50.

should i be her first sale?  am i making a big deal over $16.50?  or should i not be a sucker?

    Do it!

    You'll pay through PayPal, right?   NBD.

    Also, link please?   Maybe one of us could make it for you?

    I'll OK the purchase as long as you promise to have it on hand to award to SJP if you ever run into her.

    I am ashamed of you. You could make that easily. Better yet, you could make the second one with ribbon instead of fabric.

    I think it's cute. And sometimes a girl just needs to feel like she's just won first place in the horse show, ya know?

    Isn't someone here a bow champion?  Am I hallucinating reading that?  I would gladly pay a JoAnn lady $5 to make a ribbon for me and then hand-stitch on a bauble.  It would take 30 minutes, max.

    it's cw -- she worked in a florist shop. 

    CW COULD YOU MAKE THIS FOR ME IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN RID OF ALL YOUR CRAFTING SUPPLIES?  I WOULD PAY YOU IN AMERICAN MONIES.

    I CAN MAKE IT FOR YOU AND IT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY TO DO SO. I'm not getting rid of my big glue gun or  (most of) my ribbons!

    Where would I find that chain, though?

    meh.  i don't need the chain.  i just like the ruffly bits, the tails and the fancy button in the middle.

    I have chain like that.   And a similar button, I think.
    Maybe we can send it around to all the WWers and we can each add to it?   (This will up the tacky factor, too.)

    I like bow #2...but I really like ALL of AF's suggestions.  Especially the one where all the WWer's get a crack at it.  I think you should do that.  ;)
