You might be familiar with Etsy.com, an online marketplace for handmade goods. If you haven't heard of it, do yourself a favor and go take a look. You will be amazed by the amount of creative talent and the extraordinary number of items available for sale. A search for the word "Thanksgiving" results in over 28,000 entries. There is a huge range of styles - from simple, crafty handmade dolls or puppets to striking original paintings and sculptures. Beautiful handmade jewelry too.
If you ever find yourself getting depressed about things, like the lack of art classes in our schools or the bland, over-commercialized consumer culture that we live in, spend a few minutes browsing around Etsy. You will be reassured that a place still exists where creativity and artisitic expression is flourishing.
Below are some of the Thanksgiving themed items for sale that we thought were the most fun and interesting. (Don't miss the Orchid Gourd. It is awesome!)
