So out of curiosity I searched for "Eiffel Tower Necklace" to see if anyone else was using the charm I used in my recent necklace.
Here is my listing:
www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9763715
Simple eiffel tower charm with a bright red heart, theme of "I love paris."
To my surprise, there were at least 10 other listings who had the SAME idea. I honestly don't think anyone copied anyone (I sure didn't!) But this is too funny:
1. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8942743
2. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9530523
3. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8331165
4. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9476350
5. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7515253
6. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8877636
7. www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8192647

How weird is that? :P I guess great minds think alike!
