Etsy Finds: A Toast to Oktoberfest
"O'zapft is!" This is how the mayor opens the world's largest fair, Oktoberfest, every autumn in Munich.

For those of us not attending this year, join us in …

Etsy Finds: All Over the Map
I am a huge nerd when it comes to maps. (Come to think of it, I'm a huge nerd in general, but especially for maps.) Growing up, whenever we went on a family road trip, my dad would sit me in the passenger seat with a map and tell me that it was my job to get us where we were going. Somehow I think he knew the way already, but I …

Infographics: One Seller's Visualization
When I first heard of Etsy in 2007, through a blog written by my friend, I thought, "This is what I need! I have to join." Around this time, I was knitting a lot of wrist warmers as gifts for my friends, and eventually everybody around me had wrist warmers, but I wanted to continue knitting. Etsy was the opportunity for …
