pounce

Do you know about "pounce"? It's a fun little search feature on etsy. A little like Stumble, but more dangerous to one's paypal account. (go to etsy.com and look in the left side bar) Pounce lets you see what has just sold from various shops and what other items that seller has to offer. I was skeptical of it at first...but a-pouncing away I went!

I bought this sweet little button bouquet last week from lil fish studios. I was really drawn to the color combination and I knew they'd be the perfect accent for my entryway table.

I'll be sharing some other finds soon. Glad you're enjoying the tutorial, by the way. Thanks for all your kind words about it!

happy pouncing...I mean, weekend!

Oh my goodness - Etsy is already dangerous to my wallet - and now I'm just going to HAVE to try the pounce feature. ;)

Pounce addict here as well - I like the undiscovered shops as well ! I think , "oh just a few more punces and I'll stop". Some time later ...still pouncing!

Hmm. I tried to leave a comment but it just went blank.....trying again.

The Madison Knitter's Guild Knit-In is tomorrow at the Bishop O's Center. I should save my money to spend at the vendors, I suppose. Is there such a thing as "Window Pouncing?"

I want a button bouquet! You are a pouncer extraordinaire (actually I still don't know what that means). Hope you are doing well.

BTW, I just saw your old editor is doing some modeling. Did you see that? She is so darn cute, adorable.

I'm off to discover 'pouncing'! By the sounds of it I will probably regret it...sounds addictive! Love the button bouquet.

Thanks Betz,

I had never used Pounce before, but I just found a great skirt for a wedding I have to go to next month.

Pounce is so addictive for me .. I've tried to lay off for a couple of weeks but this mention, well -- I must go and POUNCE. What is Etsy trying to do to my paypal account?
