Ever wanted a crocheted fondue set or or a button featuring a dancing rasher of bacon? You can find these wacky items and a whole lot more on Etsy.com, an e-store for crafters (and buyers of crafts, of course).
I think I heard of Etsy once upon a time from a friend whose mother makes jewelry, but I didn’t realize until yesterday how much stuff there is for a foodies. Once I did, and started searching in earnest, I realized how user friendly Etsy is. There are numerous ways to find items you’ll be interested in — even a really unusual “search by color” option.
I was going to look through everything tagged “food” and list my favorites, but who am I kidding…I don’t have time to go through all 341 pages!
Have fun shopping!
