I LOVE Etsy

I love Etsy! For so many reasons. Too many reasons to list. So... as I wait for files to save, upload to servers, print, & etc. I find myself on Etsy. I love seeing all the unique & beautiful handmade goods. I love that you can buy something origional that can't be found at the store. I love that you can support stay at home mom's who like to make things. I could go on & on. But one of my favorite things about Etsy are all the weird things you can find.


For example, you can buy these toilet tea-lights. They are perfect if you plan on throwing a potty-training party! I'd like to see you find something like this at Target.

Or this smoking squid pin that would probably match every outfit hanging in my closet. Even Anthropology doesn't sell anything this unique.


I'm not sure what this is. But I guess it doesn't matter since it's SOLD anyhow.


If I were to purchase this dancing dog portrait for my wall (at $300). I could count on being the only person in my neighborhood to hang such a piece of artwork.


I actually think this headpiece is pretty cute. But I'm not sure where I'd wear it. The library perhaps?


Don't show up at a baby shower again fearing that you may be giving a duplicate gift. This Baby sculpture is one of a kind. Not found at Babies-R-Us. Only $45.


My kids would LOVE me if I had a shirt like this. Too bad it's already been sold.

I can think of numerous occasions when I would need to wear this bald eagle hat.
(Also great for bad hair days.)


A Smoking Dora Pony adorning a horn? Who wouldn't pay $70 for a mutilated toy?

Wouldn't this look fabulous on my doorstep? It's a total steel at $17 + shipping. I think I'd have to re-paint the toenails pink though.
This is seriously the second coolest Christmas card ever!!!

Did I mention that I LOVE Etsy?
