Alright, so, I think it's about time to hold a giveaway again, don't you?
However, what should I give away this time? A piece of jewelry, or a pair of chopsticks again? Or, maybe I'll go with something else entirely. I can't decide.
What would you like to see?
Just comment below and offer up your suggestions.

5-a-Week Features! Week 6 (I'm back!)
Alright, so. Sorry about that unannounced abscence of the weekly features. I kind of got wrapped up in all life has to offer (or more like fire at me with a cannon.) Long story short, I'm back, and you'll see weekly features again. Believe it or not, I DID remember to write down the sales of the last featured sellers a week after they were posted. You'll see them at the end of the post, as always.
Here's this week's 5 features! There's another theme this time: Simply Red!
1. http://sorad.etsy.com/ - 8 sales
This shop sells some really awesome looking cards.
2. http://echosofspring.etsy.com/ - 24 sales
Absolutely beautiful earrings and necklaces.
3. http://jkimages.etsy.com/ - 2 sales
Color-rich photography. Definitely some beautiful work in this shop.
4. http://rosieswreaths.etsy.com/ - 12 sales
Gorgeous wreaths to adorn your door this holiday season.
5. http://classicsredone.etsy.com/ - 28 sales
A wide variety of lovely items, such as hats and hair clips.
Alright, and now I'll show the sales for the week after I featured the last Etsians. (Though they've made quite a few sales since then.)
1. http://studioseventyfive.etsy.com/ - First count: 22 sales, a week later: 24 sales.
2. http://horsehairrakupottery.etsy.com/ - First count: 1 sale, a week later: 1 sale.
3. http://gaudetsgems.etsy.com/ - First count: 8 sales, a week later: 10 sales.
4. http://gardenleafdesign.etsy.com/ - First count: 14 sales, a week later: 14 sales.
5. http://bekahsquilts.etsy.com/ - First count: 21 sales, a week later: 21 sales.
Good luck to the featured sellers this week. Everyone pay them a visit and help them out! A tweet or two wouldn't hurt either. If you see something you like about a shop, spread the word! :)
(What is "5-a-Week Features"? - New to the blog? I feature 5 Etsians every week on my blog, occasionally with a specific theme (such as this week's "red" theme). I note their sales for this week, and then when I feature the next 5, I note the previous features' sales again to see if they have increased. Look back at previous blog posts to get a better understanding of this little game. Would you like to recommend a shop for me to feature? The shop must have: a) Less than 30 sales b) more than 4 items listed c) decent pictures (I'm not too picky, though.)
See you next week!

5-A-Week Features! Week 5
Time marches right along. We're already on week 5 of the 5-A-Week Features.
As I was looking through my list of shops with 30 or less items, I came across a couple of male-aimed items, so I thought I'd make this feature have a sort of masculine theme. Let me know what you think. (ETSIANS! Make more guy stuff, dammit! It's too far and few between. >:p )
1. http://ElectricPenguin.etsy.com - 10 sales
This shop sports some creative jewelry, including beer label jewelry, such as the bracelet featured here!
2. http://sandart.etsy.com - 23 sales
Fantastic paintings, mostly slightly-abstract portraits. All of them display immense emotion. Beautiful!
3. http://sackittoya.etsy.com - 0 sales
This shop only has 4 items currently, but all of them are some great mixes with hilarious names and captions (I had trouble deciding on a feature between this one pictured below, or the "Better Than Sex" chocolate brownies :D). Great for gifts, and easy to cook, from what I understand. I think we can expect to see more great things in this shop later.
4. http://2virgosdesigns.etsy.com - 27 sales
This is a spa set designed especially for men. Let's face it. Most men are hard on their skin and body whether at work or at play, so shouldn't they deserve a spa treatment too? There's lots of bath lovelies for the ladies at this shop too, of course.
