For those in the know, Etsy.com is a craft-centered commerce site best known for being the place where your sister-in-law can sell some earrings she made for $8.00 (hey, sell one pair a month and that’s almost $100 a year!)

Well, when you put together every crafty sister-in-law in the world, you’ll find that the amount of items available and Etsy is rather larger and diverse. In an effort to sort through the crap, we entered the search keyword “Milwaukee” and identified some of our favorite goods from the bunch. Pick up one of these as a holiday gift for the Milwaukee lover in your life!

After various reports from snow-trapped friends and family in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, we think Milwaukee got off lucky with tonight’s rain! Look at this action going on in Chippewa Falls…

Is this what you wanted, Milwaukee?

So, we got a bunch of scary weather reports and warnings to stay off the road (enough that we decided to stay home, watch hockey, and drink rather than go out) but we managed to avoid the big white dump. We won’t always be so lucky, of course, but just be glad that you won’t throw out your back shoveling snow Sunday morning.
