Etsy Snafu, Illustrated
Due to a glitch that Customer Service has been entirely unhelpful at fixing, my Etsy account (under which I've never sold anything) has managed to field orders sent to literally everyone named "Lauren". Turns out that there are a lot of creative Laurens in the world, whom, based on the messaged I've received, hand-letter fonts on weight loss jars, bedazzle cowboy hats, customize superhero birthday shirts and mermaid birthday cards, sell hair feathers, bunny-shaped pins and felt dog patches, among other items. Below are a just a few examples of some of the requests that my account has received over the past few months.
