Some interesting tidbits from the interview, 97% of Etsy’s user base is female, thus the largest segment of sales comes from jewelery. Etsy did almost $100 million in sales in 2009. An average sale on the site includes two items and totals $15.

See these new shops for some nice works:

Megan Chaney Studios for ceramic sculpture.

Old World Swine for still lifes and landscapes.
