Front Page of Etsy!

So the other day I nearly fell out of my chair with excitement...one of my Octo-tote's was featured on the front page of Etsy!

I managed to take a quick screen-shot of the treasury, it was only on the front page for about 10-15 minutes. I am so thankful I was chosen for such a great treasury! The treasury was created by http://whynottsewn.etsy.com/.

You can get an octo-tote from http://margaretkelly.etsy.com/ for $14.
