One of the realms I'd personally love Etsy to further expand into is the homemade music scene. We’ve got a few front running visionaries as it stands, and one of them is Shane Speal.
Mr. Speal creates original music on handmade instruments — he’s known in the underground Primitive Rock world as the “King of the Cigar Box Guitar." His music is raw but nuanced: brooding, but plucky. There’s a deep texture to these tracks that speaks to a lifetime of sonic experimentation and invention.
Shane also sells a homebrew zine called Uncle Enos, which offers a rare look into the “Prim Rock” movement. Inside you can find interviews, instrument building how-to guides, and a deep abiding love for the music.
If you’re looking for a unique sound you won’t find on the mass market airwaves, check out Shane's shop at cigarboxguitar.etsy.com.

Thanks for the spotlight!!!
Here's my sources for cd packaging in case anyone wants to get their
own label going:
The white digipaks I use for many of the releases come from DiscFactory:

(direct link to product)
The recycled material cd packs are called "Arigato Paks". They come
from http://www.stumptownprinters.com I just buy blanks from them.
Hope that helps. -shane
