From The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

Please realize that I do not wish to offend anyone that created these items. Obviously they mean something important to somebody or they would not exist. I respect freedom of expression and also see this category of items as interesting and humorous~ so let's enjoy them!

I discovered the goodies above using the search term "odd" on Etsy. If you want to see handmade items that are beyond odd and are in the category of "...DIY meets WTF" you can visit Regretsy.
All I can say when I visit that site is "WOW!" quickly followed by "What were they thinking!?!".

Wednesday Welcome: Keller's Glass

Each week I'm using Etsy's Pounce feature in order to discover new items "from undiscovered shops waiting for their first sale" as the Etsy site states. This week's welcome is extended to Keller's Glass in Charleston, SC. Keller finds inspiration from "... patterns and shapes that are found in everyday life. I am truly inspired by the lines of a building, the pattern of a quilt, the shapes of nature and so on and on." These functional fused glass works are the result!
