Here's a non-convention-al diary. LOL.
Many of you may already be familiar with the online community Etsy.com where people buy and sell handmade items. Additionally, it invites its users to create treasuries -- a pictorial list of 12 items that are being sold on Etsy. Many times these treasury items share a theme or a color scheme. Etsy features different treasuries throughout the day on their main page, giving users a glimpse at items for sale.
Well, tonight there is a treasury that has the theme "Daily Kos Meets Etsy."
Yes, a treasury with a Daily Kos theme, Etsy style, with pie and pooties You can see it here: http://www.etsy.com/...
More about Etsy and the Handmade Revolution.....
From Etsy's About Page:
Etsy is an online marketplace for buying & selling all things handmade.
Our mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers.
Our vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice:
Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.
Etsy even gives you the option to search for items that are from local sellers. It is a great resource for purchasing unique items made by average people. A way to boost your local economy and be more earth friendly.
They also have an online community, with seller resources and such.
I hope you take a moment and see what Etsy is all about...if you are not already familiar with it.
Now you can go back to watching the convention, LOL.
