Etsy Sunday - Sushi Booties!
Oh internet - how are you this awesome? Of all your treasures to behold, how did I ever stumble across my “go to” baby gift forever? Thanks to Facebook and my sister’s epic Etsy skills (thanks Devon!) I am now in the know about Sushi Booties, an Etsy seller specializing in all things sushi!
Need a costume for your dog? Bam. How about some baby booties for your sushi-obsessed friend? Boom. They even have a rattle that looks like nunchucks - NUNCHUCKS!! Lord have mercy, I might buy everything in this shop before you even have a chance!
*Yes - those are fortune cookie slippers. Oh my gosh I want everything in this entire shop.
