Random Visions when thinking of Etsy


Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure: "I meant to do that..."

Animal Farm: "All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others."

Shiny Happy People: REM

The Urban Dictionary Definition: "AssClown"

The Barney Generation
"So let's all have a big group hug and repeat some positive affirmations while we work to "shine up" to our full, individual potentials in this non-hierarchical, empowering environment of mutual respect and..... (puke)

The BBS (Yes, I know I said that before....)
(Normal Person) "Hey, your search algorithm is completely hosed up."
(Groupie) "Shut up, Hater! All the enormous unexpected traffic has overworked the agerithim and a whole floor of engineers are working their tails off to put in a new one. Besides, Jared is so hot!"
(Normal Person) "Um... Yeah...

Amway: Creepy cult mentality where members buy and sell in their clique giving the erroneous impression of legitimate commerce.

Exalead, the innovative worldwide Web search engine

Here's something fun I ran across...

What? Another search engine?

Well, yes, but it's kinda fun to play with. Create your account, and do some searches to see what I mean...

Noteworthy Mention

It's always neat to be mentioned by one of the collectors, especially when you do reproductions like we do. Traditionally, collectors hate reproductions, usually because they are sold as "vintage" to fool the unwary collector, and their quality is in the dumps.

So it's nice to see a reference to our webstore in an article that is NOT trashing repro artists such as ourselves. See the link "reproduction pottery cookie jars" for a link to us, and the context of the reference in the following article:

Collecting Cookie Jars: Searching For The Cookie Lady

I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Deanna Dahlsad for the mention.

Raku is COOL!!


Of all the disciplines in pottery and ceramics, Raku HAS to be the COOLEST! I mean, really, where else can you play with fire and make art at the same time?

See Wiki here for a discription of Raku:
Raku Ware

I was prowling the net and stumbled upon the guy's site. This has GOT to be the coolest Raku on the planet. Check out the gallery. I want to be just like this guy when I grow up:
