Saturday is the perfect day for a yard sale!!!

Especially when you know you won't get caught because the admins don't police the site on Saturdays! Thank you to the kind anonymous soul who contributed this gem!

Thank you Etsy Callout for providing links to other great yard sales! We just love yard sales! Wheeeeee!

I guess now that the Mary Kay lady has stopped selling makeup, someone had to take her place.

Wow! A genuine 1994 vintage Disney trading card! Super Duper!!!

Oooo! Just for some extra fun, I HAD to post this eco-friendly, repurposed Michael Jackson melted record bowl! I just can't get enough of those! I'm hoping to get enough to complete a ten place serving! Speaking of Environmental issues, please read this article about how "green" Rob Kalin is and help me figure out in what universe is this man "green." Clearly he and his staff of mindless flunkies have NO idea what is and isn't eco friendly. They ovbviously see "eco friendly" as just another catch-phrase for selling things.


I just love Peruvian imports!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!

Well boys and girls! Christmas is right around the corner and you know what that means? Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and all kinds of fun new bells and whistles here at Etc!

Our first new feature is a gift guide button that will take sellers out of your shop and straight to our super fabulous gift guides that are packed with lots of Etc Fave Wonderfulness! Not to worry...it's just a small, unobtrusive button. Yes, it might entice some people to leave your shop and buy elsewhere, but really, those customers should have been shopping at our favorite seller's shops anyway...not yours.

We understand that some people may have a problem with this issue, but really it's just the same ten sellers who complain anyway, right? And you love Etc and want us to do well because when Etc does well, we ALL do well, right? And you love those favorite sellers in the gift guides just as much as we do, don't you? After all, you are the ones who put them in your treasuries time after time.

They deserve the sales more than you do because it takes real talent to glue rhinestones to a piece of felt, knit giant ugly cowls, and dump some rocks and moss into a jar and call it a terrarium. You're just a hack anyway and they are REAL artists. So in the spirit of giving, this Christmas season, stop being selfish and appreciate the opportunities that Etc has given you and let us decide who should and shouldn't be getting the sales this holiday season. Mmmkay?

Oh PS: There's also a wacky new feature that will take your buyers to a better place when they click the "buy" button! It's just a little bit of whimsical, wacky Etc fun, we know you'll think it's super duper too! Feel free to click on the interactive links on our samples below!!!
