Isn't it gorge! I don't think I will ever tire of etsy...

Oh I don't know - after a while I'm sure that the sheer number of people who think "if I string a few cheap tacky beads together I can charge $20" will outweigh all the proper craftspeople in your brain, and you will run screaming.

I'm sure you're right, though I don't tend to notice the naff stuff... I think my eyes just skim over things I dislike and zone in on the lovely things. (Anyway I like it mainly becase I can window shop from my sofa...)

PS... if you're not an etsy fan, you might still enjoy http://www.regretsy.com/ (it makes me laugh like a drain)

I have no problem with Etsy per se, but I enjoy browsing real things to online. I also try not to look at things that I might want to buy, as I have a tendency to buy them. I have a house full of Stuff to demonstrate that!

That site really does its job showcasing the weird shit that's out there.

I wanted to see shit like that, I’d be on Live Journal.

Mmmm....

Actually that made me chuckle...

I have now explored regretsy.

Oh boy.

I'm completely addicted to it... it's become my new lol-feed of choice :-)
