Widget to find items with the same colors as your listing

Some of you know that the etsy contest is just one of many random little scripts I've written with the etsy API, it's just so darn fun to tinker with!

So I have a listing color app:spacefem.com/etsy/listingcolor.php. It lets you put in a listing ID (these are easy to find) and it tells you items that match with it (I have a basic color app too, that just lets you put in a color)

Anyway I used the listing color search to find items that might go well with this week's Welcome Wednesday winner, a shop that opened seven days before the contest!

Here was her winning photo:

I don't mean to brag (or maybe I do?) but the etsycontest.com coupon code page is about to hit 300! Egads, friends, where else do you find that kind of goodness that's even searchable, ranked, and sorted?

Anyway here are a few items with coupons that caught my eye. I'll start with the newbies! Both these shops opened barely a month ago and already we're welcoming them to the contest with our awesome new Welcome Wednesday theme:

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):

Be sure to stop in on future Wednesdays to support new shops and find new talent, I am really excited about this theme!
