I love that. That's why etsy is awesome. Just when you think you've seen it all...

(I'm thinking... hm, who would I know that would love that for xmas?)

Oh that's awesome.
My grandmother always had those little toilet paper dolls. I could never figure out how they were supposed to be less tacky than setting a plain roll of paper on the back of your toilet.

OMG.

Must have!

That site is outstanding. I may even sign up and sell stuff.

Do you know if there is a UK version, or are the UK-based artists on Etsy?

Fees FAQ

Can I sell on Etsy if I'm not in the United States?

Yes you can. We already have many sellers in other countries and we'll be adding built-in currency conversion soon.

I think I might just try and make some money.

What kinds of things do you make?

Photos. I'm going to take a bunch of really commercial stuff and flog it... unless you know of a better place to sell photos.

My wife is the real artist, though. She'll do well on there.

I don't know that much about selling photos, but I do know that they sell very well on etsy. Good luck! Link to your store when you get it set up.

Thanks, iconomy! I have a few that make a nice set, and I'll start with them. My wife may really do well, though... I think her stuff goes really well with Etsy's overall aesthetic (from what I've seen).

iconomy, you continually blow my mind.

I laughed until I was crying.

Frida Kahlo toilet paper cozy! The Universe just got a little bit more absurd.

Thanks, oh fuzzy one!

Know what blows my mind? The fact that no one has purchased this yet ;P
