Maybe you should sell the Tonka truck and buy an iron.

If she ironed it and cropped the photo and put her legs together she could bump the price to $30.

I’m no expert on perspective; but if that’s a standard door behind her I think the seller tops out at over 6 feet tall. Maybe we should just humor this one.

No kidding, Jea. And the price bump would cover the iron; you can get a cheapo one for under $15.

You know, the Gentleman with the thistledown hair would probablty encase her in the Black Pillar of Doom for associating fairies with this dress thing.

Other than the weak photography, this is actually IMO one of the better things in her shop. Most of it is sort of blandly non-awesome (e.g., http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=30018803 ) — but what’s up with this doll http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=31471201 ? “An extra idea: This used to be a peeing doll and the tube is still inside. Use a medicine syringe in it’s mouth and it can ‘bleed’.” Do I need a broken menstruating doll?…

Is the lace part supposed to since in somewhere? Because, I don’t think a lace corset(?)/vest(?)is supposed to make you look like a square lamp shade from the 50’s.

Knight gives his life whilst trying to save his Tonka village from the mad fairy. He must have struggled mightily, for he left her attire in a shambles.

#29 is right – her skills as a seamstress are abysmal. You know, when you completely SUCK at sewing, the solution is not to lower your prices so you’re making about $1.50 an hour. The solution is to NOT SELL until you’re making something that people will pay at least enough for that you’ll make minimum wage for your time.
