I was lucky to be one of the first to get a spot on the new Etsy showcase. Here is a screenshot of the page with me there (that's the Charlie Ann sweatshirt) up on the left. I got the one spot for December and one spot for February. I'm hoping it goes well.
I think the Etsy guys have done a great job with this. The flash is amazing. You can toss the items around. It's fun.
There are also ads on a website called BoingBoing that look really sophisticated.
