Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Etsy

We should have written this Pick months ago. But we're incapable of coming near Etsy without abandoning all sense of time, obligation, and, let's face it, fiscal responsibility. Forget any other web phenom you've heard about recently, the Greatest Current Thing is Etsy. Here, creators and lovers of fine (and funky) handcrafted items buy and sell a wide variety of goods. Tote bags, artists' books, photographs, knitted wear, collage work, jewelry, ceramics, polymer beasties, they're all here, plus much, much more. Surely, we've already lost readers to the addictive, ebullient site, but for those of you still with us: Begin with the main showcase, check in with the featured seller, experience the space-craft continuum with the "time machine," and perhaps take a joyful romp through the "shop by color" section. And then, let your fancy guide you. You've entered the joyous realm of Etsy.

Couldn't agree more. Etsy is one of the best things to happen to the art and indie design movement in a long time! It is one of my favorite websites on the entire internet and that is really saying something.

Etsy is a wonderful place to find unique things that are handmade! I'm not only a seller there, but also a buyer.

Etsy is fun, fabulous, and affordable. Different, often one-of-a-kind, avant gard stuff that you won't find in stores. There's a lot of talent out there. Support the Etsy artists. You'll love what you find and the people you'll meet. Check it out.

Ebay is a major rip-off in comparison to Etsy. Etsy is FAIR. It's almost unbelievable.

Thank you for featuring Etsy. We joined in March and have been doing reasonably well. It's a great site, a great place to buy and sell, and full of wonderfully nice, creative people from all over the globe!
