Swimmies: An Etsy Epic

Etsy oldtimers can share with you stories of the good ol' days. When there were discussions about an Etsy Constitution or earlier with the scary, buggy times with V2. Back in early 2008, when many a newbie, fresh from the Ebay Mass Exodus or from the Martha Stewart Show that featured Etsy - they were greeted with a fairy tale read by Rokali.



Hopeful Etsyians sent in Swimmies by the envelope-full. Enough Swimmies to fill a wall.


Recently, the Swimmies escaped. If you have been following FakeRokali, you already know this. What you may not yet know is that the Swimmies have a marvelous Tumblr.
