Regret me not
Books, posted by Editor, Palo Alto Online, on Mar 26, 2010 at 1:44 pm

From embroidered toilet paper to "Christmas nativity meerkats," Etsy.com is full of intriguing items. Some such creations, deemed worthy of extra attention, show up on Regretsy [Web Link www.regretsy.com], a blog that pokes fun at Etsy's offerings and has taken on a life of its own.

Regretsy is the funniest book guaranteed to make you laugh. April Winchell does amazing charity work with her Regretsy auctions. She just helped my Tails of Joy save scores of animals with a Regretsy purse auction. So, laughs and charity, what better reason to support Regretsy?

I don't sell on Etsy any longer, but I'm friends with quite a few sellers there, and I still purchase there.

Regretsy is a really great site. April (Helen's) sense of humor is just amazing. I cannot look at a Regretsy post without laughing my butt off.

So happy she is using the proceeds for charity! WTG, and thank you for an aweseome web site!

I love this website, and Helen Killer is so charitable. Snarky and awesomesauce is what makes Regretsy so so utterly wicked awesome. Wicked wicked awesome.

When life becomes too hard to bear, visit Regretsy. You'll forget why you were so miserable and wonder why you're now laughing like a lunatic and buying weird stuff!

I am so excited to say that I am local (Saratoga) and one of my creations (Vasectomy Vern) is featured in the Regretsy Book!!!! Some crafters take "issue" with Regretsy but I think it is about the funniest d*mn website I have ever read and April does a lot of really good work with the proceeds from the site. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the book. I hope Vern doesn't go "all hollywood" on me.

Check out Vasectomy Vern and all his other adult themed BooBoo MOnster friends in my Etsy shop - Craftyisthenewblack
