I don’t have words. Except I really want to know what kind of thought processes go into crap like this. At least it’s not $500.

I suppose that selling the used- I mean “recycled”- bottle caps can fund the purchase of more coffee products. Buy a four pack at the grocery store for six bucks, crochet this bad boy up with yarn you have laying around, sell it for 12 bucks and you’ve made a profit!

I don’t think this would be ‘darling’ even on Planet Starbucks.

This person has a serious Starbucks jones.

Frappa-ugly!
November 30, 2009 at 9:11 am
The seller must think everything is crap-tastic through a Starbucks caffeine haze!
November 30, 2009 at 9:13 am
I think it’s time for an intervention.
November 30, 2009 at 9:14 am
It fucking sold!
November 30, 2009 at 9:15 am
The other pics of it, one looks like a completely different color. So is it bluish-greenish/smoker’s “white” (like the pic here) or is it blue/white like one of the other pics?
November 30, 2009 at 9:16 am
Maybe I was luckier than most, but the “blue” is showing up as Rabies/Sea Foam Green on my monitor.
November 30, 2009 at 9:23 am
this person really, really has too much time on her hands and way, way too much caffeine in her system to think this is worth buying!

I really like how the picture taken outside, in natural light, shows it as a blue/white object. Then we get to see her DIY lightbox, and it looks like it’s set up under the lights of her local church’s 1960′s ill-lit basement.
Really sharp tool in that shed, I tell you what.

I just had one of those frapichino things for breakfast, but only one. These should be regulated like alcohol is. I see all the ornaments are lids too.
this guy…… needs serious addict intervention. check him into a clinic before he explodes.
November 30, 2009 at 9:29 am
Maybe I am just getting bitter in my “old” age, but I envision the near future being riddled with the “whimsicle” creations from this shop on the front page of ETSY, right next to yokoo’s latest monstrosity.
November 30, 2009 at 9:38 am
LOL. One of my first Etsy buys was a batch of ornaments from this seller.

I kind of love this, though

Web definitions for adorable: lovable especially in a childlike or naive way.
November 30, 2009 at 10:07 am
Kind of think this could be filed in Garbage, too. The pizza-box “scrapbooking supplies” could for sure. Everyone’s memories become that much more precious, decked out in die-cut splashes of grease and cheese, or a pizza place’s logo. WTF WTF WTF. Just put your pizza boxes in the recycling with your frappucino bottles and bottlecaps! Please!

What Child is this who’s Modge-Podged on
A Starbucks lid on Etsy?
It’s Jesus stuck to a coffee lid,

Hey! It’s CRAPUCCINO! Yum yum.
November 30, 2009 at 11:37 am
I wouldn’t call it adorable.
November 30, 2009 at 11:46 am
If it had more caps and less yarn, I might use it as a trivet.

#3 OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I have no words.
#18 ha ha ha very good. Please allow me to continue:
This, this is Christ the King,
Who’s been defiled on Starbucks’ rings,
Haste, haste to go get more,
Lids for the Virgin Mary!

Don’t know about everyone else but my pizza boxes are usually grease stained and smell like pizza.
November 30, 2009 at 12:20 pm
It’s like a bad acid trip.
November 30, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I’m really not liking this wreath but I’m happy for them that they sold it to fund their habit. Coffee = sanity in the early morn…
And I really don’t like Starbucks but I have to say anything combining glitter and resin rocks! Therefore I like the magnets and appreciate they are attempting to give the caps a new life.
November 30, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Stuff like this makes me sad- it’s pretty obvious that the “artist” has no one in their life to say, “No. Just…NO.”
I also sincerely hope that whoever bought it had “gag-gift” in mind.
November 30, 2009 at 1:27 pm
What the hell is this and why is it allowed?
November 30, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I think she’s sending us a message

November 30, 2009 at 2:14 pm
really, seriously?!?! Was this person hired by starbucks? Is this person scary to anyone else but me?
November 30, 2009 at 2:33 pm
One of the tags on this is “trashion.” That’s a new one on me–is that a portmanteau of “trash” and “carrion”? I can just see the buzzards picking at the fabric covered cardboard now.
November 30, 2009 at 3:04 pm
@27 NinjaGato: I’m not too worried, unless she starts sending us dead fishes (cut out of Mrs. Paul’s frozen fish stick boxes of course) wrapped in newspaper.
November 30, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Due to lack of pertinent information I can only speculate that she was involved in a freak accident while working in a Starbucks.
November 30, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Can I just say, this to me is the perfect example of what Regretsy is all about. This is plainly authentic tat. It’s absurd. It’s awful. It’s hilarious. And yet, at least she can crochet! It truly is whimsicle! I want more of this! More, MORE!
November 30, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I love Starbucks, but this person is insane. Although, I give her credit for at least not STEALING things from Starbucks to resell (remember the cup holders?) I mean, she uses garbage, but still.
November 30, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Wow, like we don’t see enough Starbucks everywhere we look?
November 30, 2009 at 5:04 pm
For some reason, I want a cup of coffee right now.
November 30, 2009 at 5:41 pm
……….. they cut up a book about the Sicilian mafia? to make.. flowers… That’s just wrong, and damn I’d of rather had the book that some ugly yellow flowers…… sad so very very sad. That book could of been rescued.. Maybe of been cool to read, now it’s destroyed.

#30 whatnow : “One of the tags on this is “trashion.””
It’s an etsy recycling team. they have a blog and everything. and all their members make things from garbage. I considered joining, but I’m not a joiner team kinda person.
Put it through the search. some items are awesome, some .. you know. It’s sort of a mixed bag of things made from .. other things.
November 30, 2009 at 7:49 pm
#15 Itsnotyouitsme: that post-nuclear-apocalypse lamb with the giant crucifix will haunt my nightmares forever. if the seller thinks that thing is “darling”, i can see why they describe everything else in their shop as “darling” too.
this is why Starbucks coffee should be a controlled substance.
November 30, 2009 at 8:18 pm
This looks like a hubcap.
I want 4 of them — and I refuse to tell you all what I will be using them for because you will steal my ideal.
November 30, 2009 at 10:29 pm
This wreath IS atrocious, don’t get me wrong. But it must have taken a while to crochet it, AND it’s backed with cardboard and fabric, AND the hideous bottlecaps are affixed in an elaborate and sturdy way. So $12 actually seems way too low for the work that must’ve gone into it. It makes me sad.
December 1, 2009 at 6:34 am
Just like Gramma would have made, if Gramma was doing WAY too much crack.
December 1, 2009 at 7:53 am
at least she didn’t use the word “upcycled”
