New contest: Welcome Wednesdays for new Etsy shops!

So remember when Etsy had that "pounce" feature that helped you find NEW shops? I miss that feature. Heck, reading the community forums, everybody missed that feature.

Well I decided to do something about it and dedicate one contest day every week for us to vote on items by NEW shops! I'm calling it "Welcome Wednesday" and we had our first contest this week. If your shop has been opened less than two months, you can sign yourself up just like any regular day.

Anyway we had some great finds today from all sorts of new shops!

This adorable birdhouse is from a shop that opened April 23rd and hasn't had any sales, I think it's a great deal:

These pecans are from a shop that opened two weeks ago, they've had three sales (easy to see why, these look delicious):
