Featured Seller: My Sister's Great Idea

Ugly dogs rock. They seriously do.



And I love this dog. I've decided his name is Jean-Paul. He loves espresso and chocolate biscotti. And when he thinks no one is looking, he puts on glittery purple leg warmers and dances to Irene Cara's "What A Feeling" as only a true Jennifer Beals fan can.

Great photographers evoke great imagination. But photography isn't the only thing going on at My Sister's Great Idea. They've got jewelry and decorative boxes and all kinds of cool stuff.

And, of course, Jean-Paul. Please meet the lovely ladies of My Sister's Great Idea.

My sister and I love, love, love etsy and the creative energy that we have re-discovered with the birth of our shop.
