i love NPR. ask my sisters. they think i’m nerdy. it’s about the only kind of radio i’ll listen to in the car. i don’t care, i’m in love with talk radio! and mr. m, who, incidentally, is the one who tipped me off to this story. how did i miss it?

check out this article on the DIY internet revolution. etsy is mentioned towards the end. did you know some people make $30,000 dollars a year selling their stuff on etsy? and one fabulous person made $125,000. in one year. on etsy. wow. anyone want to hazard a guess as to who this seller is? i have my suspicions…

***UPDATE***
ooh, i was super close. i knew the black apple and ashley g would have to be in the top 10. check out this list for some of the top sellers. i think the numbers it gives you are just for one year, so go to any of the shops on the list and look at the number of items they have sold. it’s mind boggling.
