Since when did Etsy turn into a second-rate Spencer's?

You mean it hasn't been like that already? Or at the very least, Spencer's filtered through someone's grandma's house.

fuck I miss regretsy

Wish I could have seen it, especially since I found out the person who came up with it was April Winchell (she was a VA for a lot of 1990s Disney shows I remember seeing when I was a kid, like Goof Troop, Recess, and Pepper Ann).

I knew someone in high school who made an Etsy shop selling her paintings for - I shit you not - $100 - $300 a pop. Sadly she took it down but most of her crap is still on her facebook

My personal favorite find on Etsy is JEW CHAINZ. I like to call it shitty because that gold paint looks like it'll flake off after maybe three trips through the washer.

"JEW CHAAAAINZZZZZ

Seems like it was a right of passage for all us young Jews to receive some sort of Star of David / Chai pendant at some point in our lives. I got one for my Bar Mitzvah. Forget who got it for me but fyi it was like dental floss and not bling as fuck like I wanted - so I think it just went in a drawer. So here I am finally getting what I wanted for my Bar Mitzvah (the theme was Aaron's Extreme Bar Mitzvah, btw) - and that's a Mr. T'esque giant gaudy chain so that all the other mf'ers on the block knew who had the most chutzpah etc.

This is my first design in a while that I've decided to release. I spent a lot of time this summer doing soul searching and was on a 3 month long sabbatical from working aka it was nice out and I got drunk outside a lot so I wasn't trapped inside making new designs. That's what winter is for. Not like you were sitting around inside waiting to buy all my shit, so hey - we're here again. Cold winter upon us - fight the freeze with this blingin ass jew ice.

Challah.

Printed on a soft-as-a-brand-new-yarmulke black crewneck sweatshirt with iridescent gold ink (that means it shines bright as f like the candles on your menorah)."

ever since regretsy went away i've been waiting for something to fill the void. i don't have any particular examples to post but i remember that basically anything related to menstrual blood or placentas was considered high art there.

Regretsy was one of the best dang sites on the internet. Remember the time she featured a bra made with open-mawed gator heads, and people were suggesting using it for public breastfeeding to terrify random strangers?

I love the idea of this thread! ;__; May it live long and prosper.

Okay, this is actually kind of cool. ^^; I'd totally buy this as a gag gift for someone's Bar Mitzvah.

Because the menstrual goldmine never runs dry:

https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/502...allery&ga_search_query=womyn&ref=sr_gallery_2

But if you're more in the mood for female empowerment (lesbians only, straight scum die in hell), enjoy this A+ grade poem (you'll be excited to learn they take gift cards!):

https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/167...allery&ga_search_query=womyn&ref=sr_gallery_1

Or maybe you want to take a stand against toxic masculinity and tell rape culture to fuck off:

https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/271...allery&ga_search_query=womyn&ref=sr_gallery_4

WOMYN POWER... or at least I think so?

Little Pink Bottom with Haemorrhoids brooch.

The Haemorrhoids brooch was first designed as a custom order for someone with a great sense of humour. Of course, my usual use of google images was simply not going to happen with this one. I just went by what I knew Haemorrhoids looked like (described by my mother!), and diagrams I had seen.

This brooch is made from wool felt, dmc thread and fabric glue. The centre is a little patch of brown (I couldnt' help myself).

Brooch is 3.5cms by 4cms.

Will be shipped flat to take advantage of the cheaper shipping method.

This is an $18 commission. Similar stuff is in the shop.

My favorite part of regretsy was the terrible steampunk junk that was posted. As a lover of Jules Verne and as an occasional Victorian clothing collector and costumer it always made me laugh. Especially paired with this song that (was inspired by and...) I first heard on April's site.
I know it's not periods and Putin paraphernalia levels of dumb but these are all labeled "steampunk"

as an amature tintype photography, this is just strange

I also have several Waltham pocket watches, so this is another sticking point...I hate shitty cheap faux pocket watches.
