I just purchased this clock on etsy:

Chris thought it was kind of ugly but let me buy it anyway. Comments contradicting his opinion on this issue are invited. ;-)

Some more interesting etsy stuff I've seen:

Removable vinyl wall art by ellynelly - easily customize and decorate walls. You can choose your own colors for most of them. There is also a variety of these created by Blik Surface Graphics, including some designs from Threadless.

Wood and resin jewelry by modica. You can customize these, choosing your own resin colors for each of the wood circles.

"Reflecting pool" earrings by themusesjewels. Most of the blue you see when looking at the earring straight on is being reflected back - it's really a silvery mirrored dish shape with a blue bead cupped within.

I like the idea of Etsy. A place where people can showcase and sell the things they make - a free for all online gallery and crafts show. Although a lot of the stuff there is amateurish crud, some of it is really quality work. These knitware ceramics, for example, look pretty cool.

I just framed a couple things by myself at the Framer's Workshop in Brookline Village area. It took a while, but it was fun to do it by myself! And I guess it doesn't cost so much, either.

The first is a painting I bought on Etsy from Shayla Maddox.

The second is an awesome original of an online comic strip that I got in return for a donation a long, long, long time ago from Jeffrey Rowland. The comic strip "When I Grow Up" has since finished but you can still read it online. I'm too lazy to dig through archives to locate the exact strip, so I'll just show you my pictures. I hung it up in the bathroom, for obvious reasons once you read the strip.

NOTE TO MY PARENTS AND RELATIVES: This comic strip contains a dirty joke!!! If you read it please pretend you didn't so I won't be embarrassed!! (I'm talking to you, Mom.)
