Loading... Regretsy: Where DIY Meets WTFby April Winchell
None.  satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 |  Funny! Especially the sock monkey on p. 45, the rabbit on p. 47, and the nativity meerkats on p. 126. (  ) JennyArch | Apr 3, 2013 | I had not been familiar with Regretsy, April Winchell's website devoted to chronicling the weirdness of Etsy, where the Internet sells its arts and crafts. Quite a humorous little book, and it sparked me to bookmark the site. I've purchased a few things from Etsy over the years and have always been pleased with my purchases, but there are certainly a lot of odd things out there and April Winchell has a really witty writing style that suits the bizarre, kooky, and "unique" crafts sold on the website. The reader responses from Etsy buyers and sellers included at the end was particularly fun. Of course, the book only offers a smidgeon of the content available online, and I am glad I picked it up at a library book sale. (  ) Spoonbridge | Aug 28, 2012 | Regretsy, you either love it or hate it! If you love it, you will love the book, especially Winchell's section introductions and comments on every piece. The book is basically a sampling of the things you find on Regretsy. Regretsy is a humorous website poking fun of weird handmade things you find on Etsy. Please don't be offended...I'm in the book!

Based on the eponymous hit blog and arranged in categories such as Décor, Pet Humiliation, and Christmas, Regretsy showcases the best of the worst, ranging from the hilariously absurd to the purely horrifying.
