Some great hints and fabulous links to the wonderful Etsy community. Go Handmade! I added my shop, MountainsideCrochet.Etsy.com, to your 'Adorable Stuff for Children and Babies' section. I'm working on an Etsy lens and once it's done I plan to lensroll this lens to it. 5*

ok - I'm tired, and I misunderstood what the 'blurb' here was for - so ignore/delete what I just sent!

how about a paper/books catagory - journals/blank books, cards, bookmarks, tags, wrapping paper, etc.

I am an eclectic artisan - over the years I have experimented with many art/craft forms, and I continue to experiment - most of my work derives from my original, colorful hand-marbled paper - I do things with it that I haven't seen anyone else do - but like most artists - I dabble in other forms...

So much great stuff! Squidoo lenses, like excellent Etsy things, are handmade, so I'm going to plunk away at all of these suggestions and you'll see additions coming over the next few days. Keep 'em coming!

What about art? I'd love to play here...but no category. I did sign up on your suggestion and made my first lens...http://www.squidoo.com/artmixter/ , and starting on my second one...which I hope will be focussed on etsy...thanks, Sonia, this was a great idea!

Does this one count as a lens? It's about my pinch kitties on Etsy :) Saw your thread over on the Etsy forums earlier.

I have miniature polymer clay kitties, maybe a section for polymer clay? I have some hand embroidery too, but not sure how popular a section just for embroidery would be :)

Etsy has some gorgeous handmade housewares including pottery, beautiful cloth napkins, coasters etc. I love browsing housewares more than any other category.

You can view my squidoo lens at http://www.squidoo.com/27things/
