![]() I have to admit that when I read this book at dinner I laughed out loud at some of the items, and hoped I wasn’t too obnoxious to those around me who may not understand what is so funny about a book that features cozies for baby chicks, a hat that also serves as a dual hummingbird feeder, or a “diving feminine yonni necklace” that contains what the author picturesquely calls a “claybia.” Some of these items must be seen to be believed, and even then some of them are pretty unbelievable. Since Etsy as a website is pretty relentless in getting rid of anything that smacks of negativity, this site (and this book, which takes some of the more notable selections of failed craftiness from the Regretsy site) serves as a useful way of encouraging a side of criticism that is not allowed on Etsy proper. The author of the book is the owner of a site that promotes (?) various failed efforts at creating do-it-yourself items for sale on Etsy based on the recommendations of friends, and occasionally buys or receives such items herself. ![]() ![]() Regretsy: Where DIY Meets WTF, by April Winchell ![]()
