callmemimi
Wow ! I'm really HAPPY to be in this wonderful selection!!!!!!
Thanks a lot Mike for including my capelet!

Creativity is universal. Great global picks! I'm smitten with Hooktastic Super Ted. How this would make me smile when venturing into the minus zero windchill, aka January!

Thaks a lot Mike for including my capelet!
JemmDeeCreations
Amazing finds! I love the dumb and ugly cups. I can think of a few people who would love those for the holidays!
stitchntyme
YAY for Phoenix, even if I am not featured! HA! Awesome Finds, love seeing all the different states/countries represented.
vintagelife
I LOVED this one! Unique and different finds. Very representative of the diversity to be found on etsy!
Great job, Mike!
mazedasastoat
Great picks mike, but how about featuring those of us who don't have a city for miles? One of the (many) huge advantages of Etsy is that it gives rural crafters the opportunity to reach a large audience... surely city dwellers already have that on their doorstep?
urbanknitfits
wow, these are great! I love the coming to a wall from New Zealand, thanks for putting this all together!
carmenesque
Such a great collection of very different cultures! Congrats, this is really heart grabbing :)
harmoniepark
is it bad if i get custom puppet of myself and carry it around the office with me? answer people with the puppet? or no?
polkadotsandblooms
Fantastic selection. The spices will be a fantastic present for my very difficult to buy for brother!!!! Thank you!!!!
OneClayBead
I love these features- can't wait til I see where we "go" next!
VelveteenHabbit
Fashion changes so fast!! Used to be I felt I was 10 years behind NYC Paris etc. Now, I feel like I can see what's happening worldwide!!! FUN!

Great finds here - I especially like the Super Ted from Auckland and the cuff from Montreal.
Next time you take a virtual tour around the globe though I'd love to see finds from places other than cities please! We don't all live in the metropolis. How about sticking a pin in a map? :-)

I need the dumb one to go along with my "waking up this early is dumb" mood every morning!
