I was going to call it 'the ultimate handjob' but that was the name of the title on the Something Awful forums and yeah. Wasn't sure if it was toootally inappropriate or not. :P
So. Etsy! Have you heard of it? http://www.etsy.com . What weird or cool things have you found there? There's some Amazing stuff! And some very geeky things too. :P Basically it's an online shopping site but you can only sell/buy handmade items, vintage, or supplies for making handmade items. When you think handmade, don't think 'grannies making tissue box covers' like in the small town craft market.
Go explore, and bring back the weirdness or the brilliance! :D
Oh and yes I do sell things on there myself, but I did just think it'd be cool to go through and find the fun stuff! (and note, I'm not linking myself)

I bought this (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12155906). I like their vintage stuff too, the handmade stuff is really great if you find something you like though.
Some of the favourite stuff I've found includes:

I'm thinking about making some things myself to sell on there.

i love etsy. i like that you can choose a color and it will find items that are that same color. i used to sell things on etsy too! i think i made a total of about $120 before i got sick of it.
-
What were you making? :)
-
crocheted purses and wallets. nothing special.
-
Etsy is pretty much my favorite shop:) I buy shirts and jewelry on there a lot- even my engagement ring is from there.

Her username on etsy is kinkycrochet. (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5267958)

i tried to get that one, but it was taken already. (i am lying.)
-
Now now, pretending that you're lying about it won't take the shame away.
-
I want this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14127758 !!! Why is it so expensive :-(
-
Because it's not made in a factory by machines or a sweatshop by little children?
-
Oh man, yeah. Good point :-/ Wish I could afford it though.
-
I approve of that fashion choice, minus the cigarette he is smoking. Ish.
-
I like it, but....
It's looks poorly made. Maybe it is just ill fitting. I'd totally wear one if it fit me well.
-
I agree Emaline, it does look very ill fitting. I doubt I would wear it.

Man guys, don't even get me started on etsy. Ever since someone linked me to it I am all spending money all over the place.

That jumper that someone linked, where the guy's smoking... I hope that's a test jumper, because I sure wouldn't want it to show up at my house all cigarette smokey!
