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!!!

Upcycled doesn't have to be ugly!


As has been proven here, upcycled and recycled materials need not be ugly. Gone are the days of toilet paper tube cosmetic nooks, dishwashing liquid bottle dollies with lightbulb heads, and plastic two-litre bottle wind spinners! Say hello the new age of attractive upcycling! I can't think of a single living room or foyer that wouldn't look better with this classy, hanging lamp, made from plastic inkjet cartridges! And think of how excited someone will be when they tear off the gift wrap and see this fun item at the bottom of the box! What a fun housewarming gift for some lucky mobile home owner! Add a red velvet sofa and some strategically placed moss gardens, and you have room decor fit for a king!
Speaking of sofas...do I spy Martha Stewart sitting on the sofa in the background of this photo?

Does your blood run pink?

I am SO so excited! I just learned that I can now get my favorite costmetics at my favorite place to shop! I can't believe they have been around since March 2009 and I missed them, but now that I know they are there, I feel I must share the joyful news with you all! Ladies, please take a moment to do something nice for yourself. Help Kristi Linebarger get that pink Cadillac she so richly deserves! Buy something sweet and lovely from this wonderful seller and have a very pink Labour Day!
