Ever find yourself up at 2am, lost on the 11th page of
crappy and irrelevant Etsy search results, wondering where you went wrong?
Well, some of your search terms may have been abused by sellers, or maybe they
just sounded trendy and you didn't give them too much thought. Let me clear up
the confusion by providing more accurate definitions of tags commonly found on
Etsy.
*
*
Shabby chic vintage: It smells like a cat peed in this at
some point, but it's made OF REAL WOOD. It's just like, SO AUTHENTIC.
Steampunk: It's brass-toned and/or I glued a gear to it.
Destash: Here is 5 pounds of craft supplies my concerned relatives dug out from behind my 300
rinsed, empty milk jugs and the 172 issues of Home & Garden with 2 or 3 recipes dog-eared in each.
OOAK (One of A Kind): Really Fucking Weird. Display this in
your house if you hate second dates.
Art Doll: Often this tag occurs alongside OOAK. This doll may contain human hair and/or
teeth, and/or nightmares.
Happy shopping!
Disclaimer: There's some really great stuff listed under these tags; I
overgeneralized a bit. I know, I'm a hater. But if you're a frequent Etsy
browser, you probably laughed.
