This photo tour of the offices of Etsy is a dream-nightmare! It's wonderful! It's slightly heinous! I'm incredibly jealous! I want to go craft now.

Derisively: omg this is exactly the kind of place someone who uses etsy would love.
Wikipedia: "...sales of $10 to 13 million per month...profitable...plans to go public..."
:(
yeah. they have A RECRUITER. how crazy is that?
Given that it looks like a swap meet that got hit by a tornado, I'd have thought this was eBay.
You should have an Etsy crafter crush of the week.

I feel how this looks...very wrestless.
Their office organizer/fixer is the artist Peter Corrie. He was in a show James Wagner and I curated in 2006: http://www.danglingbetween.com/artists/peter_corrie/.
I like those big lamps. They're very Dr. Seussy.
"I'll meet you by the lamp that looks like a tree. No, the OTHER lamp that looks like a tree."
I'll be in the Telephone Booth, spiking my bottle of Izze.
@Art I left you a one hitter in the canoe behind the handmade soap.
This is a thread that's going in my scrap book.
The job interview ends when I see a foosball or ping pong table.
and giant bells/gongs/triangles for 'town hall' meetings. Those are deal breakers.
there is a ping pong table there for sure, i saw it. and giant stuffed office supplies...
I want to see the Regretsy office, now.
oh boy. me too!
I applied for a job there recently and NOW I WANT IT BAAAD.
they're hiring back end coders and software engineers and stuff like mad i heard. They are actually downstairs from my office in the same building (in DUMBO). I go down there sometimes and chat them up and fantasize about working someplace like that. sigh.
Come now Choire. Don't be hard on your office. The ottoman crafted from The Cat's hair is very fashion forwardD.
Those half-assed gingham panel curtains make me want to cry.
Great lamps, though.
Nope. Just nightmare. Likely drug or alcohol induced.
I actually have a page on Etsy (I make and sell a THING), and I'm sorta
tired of it. But the orders keep coming in. It's sold 100 in the first year.
Paypal emails me that I've got another $50, once or twice a week.
(Of course, then I have to actually make the damn thing, and go mail it.)
It's not a job, but it does keep me in beer.
blech. those lamps scare me!
