Does anyone know about Etsy.com?

Sometimes I wonder if people know about Etsy. You know, the site that people use to sell things that they make? Kinda like an online flea market of homemade goods. I just wonder how well they do because most people I talk to have never heard of Etsy.com. If you mention ebay everyone that doesn't live under a rock knows about it. Mention Etsy and most likely they never heard of it.

On the flip side of that though is if the person has heard of it they rave about it. So why don't they advertise more? Or do they and not in my area? I don't know and I'm too lazy to find out.

If you find that you want to buy some art type stuff for your home, better yet some art type stuff that I made visit my shop at Etsy here and you will make me happy.
