			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier today someone asked me what I&#8217;d be getting the husband for Father&#8217;s Day and to be honest I haven&#8217;t got a clue. My husband isn&#8217;t your typical dad, he doesn&#8217;t wear ties or any of <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-94188" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/06/mancave.jpg" alt="IMG:  etsy" />that other &#8220;Father&#8217;s Day Gifts&#8221; type of dad. Instead he likes BBQ, but no aprons, he likes anime but not something I can just go and grab off a shelf as we have over 200 different DVDs that I have no clue if he&#8217;s seen. He doesn&#8217;t fish or any of those type of sports. So finding something just for him will be something of a work out. I decided to stop off at Etsy and just take a peek and found some interesting things I might get and thought ya&#8217;ll would like a look.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26530012&amp;ref=sr_gallery_13&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=dad&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=3&amp;order=date_desc&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">The Man Cave Sign</a>- Face it ladies, every man likes to (think) have their own room. We might as well get them one to go right inside the garage, after all we don&#8217;t really need all that do we? This cute little sign comes with the price tag of $5.99, but it will be the smile on his face that really costs a lot.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94191" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/06/herostone.jpg" alt="IMG: Etsy" /></p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26261364&amp;ref=sr_gallery_5&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=dad&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=14&amp;order=date_desc&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">You are my Hero</a>&#8221; stones are smooth with engraved saying on them, perfect for dad&#8217;s office. These are gray river rocks with a gold engraving that&#8217;ll only cost $20.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94189" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/06/computerhardclock.jpg" alt="IMG: etsy" /><br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26516754&amp;ref=sr_gallery_21&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=dad&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=16&amp;order=date_desc&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">Computer Hard Drive Clock</a>- this is perfect for those dad&#8217;s that are always working on or with a computer and it only costs $35.</p>
<blockquote><p>This is a real 3 1/2in computer Hard drive converted into a desk clock with a quartz drive movement installed. The clock measures roughly 4&#8243;w x 6&#8243;h, and runs on 1 AA battery, included. It will make a great conversation piece on your desk or a special gift for that geek you know who is so hard to shop for. Since these clocks are made from actual recycled hard drives and circuit boards, condition and model may vary slightly. Handmade in USA.</p></blockquote>
<div id="attachment_94183" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-94183" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/06/shavingcream-300x224.jpg" alt="IMG:  Etsy" width="300" height="224" /><p class="wp-caption-text">IMG: Etsy</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26454069&amp;ref=sr_gallery_15&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=dad&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=11&amp;order=date_desc&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">Gentleman&#8217;s Shaving set with homemade soap</a>- This is great for the dad that loves a good shave. Long ago are the days where a barber would sit you down and give you a close one, sure there are still some that do it but not like they use to do them. Now dad can have the luxury of doing his own with this kit, at $20.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-94177 alignnone" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/06/flatbeerdad.jpg" alt="IMG:  Etsy" /><br />
Finally there is the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25894200&amp;ref=sr_gallery_9&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=dad&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=15&amp;order=date_desc&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">defused (flat) beer bottle </a>just for dad. Hey, you know you&#8217;ve got the dad that likes those really interesting or just plain weird shapes. Imagine dad with a flat beer bottle that looks like it simply melted on his back porch. This particular one has an area to rest his spoon, which is perfect if dad drinks coffee/tea.  All for the low price of $14.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I love to go sight-seeing through the Etsy shops and today, in the special wedding section, I found customized Wedding Cake Toppers for only $250. A $100 deposit is all it takes to begin work on a handmade cake topper that bears a striking resemblance to bride and groom. 
Toppers are sculpted from dollmaking clay which is layered over a stronger armature for durability. They measure about 5-6 inches in height. You can personalize your topper even further by adding touches like a likeness of your pet. How cool is this? I cannot imagine a cooler, more unique keepsake for the bride [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.blisstree.com">Blisstree</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve featured interesting things from Etsy.com, but listen to the description for a cuff that&#8217;s on sale here.  Its best if you take a look at the pictures on their site as well!
Here&#8217;s the product description:
These laminated cuffs are made from various vintage ephemera and are all one of a kind.
This cuff was made from an old cookbook image (I love gross food pictures) which was laminated and cemented and sewn to a soft tan leather underside. Beige edge stitching and two segma snaps.
I&#8217;m amazed at what people come up with on this site!
