Indian Summer

 

In honor of the warm weather we are having I made up a new treasury - a little mix of summer and fall colors.

some of the beautiful items here are made by members of the Etsy Treasury Team. Enjoy!

Front Page Treasury!

Thanks to the lovely Dawanna of Peacesof Indigo my earrings made it to the Front Page on Sept 15!

Front Page!

After a bit of a sabbatical, a treasury that my Clear Skies earrings were in made it to Etsy's front page. They were in one of the new Treasury Easts , which will soon be completely taking the place of the regular treasury and Treasury West. I will be sad to see those go, but it is nice to be able to do a treasury any time you want and also to add more items than the old treasuries. You can also go back in and edit whenever you like and they make it easy to Twitter and Facebook  the treasury you make or are in. Another helpful tool is the treasure hunt on Craftopolis. You type in the name of the shop that you are looking for at the top and it gives you search options to look for which treasuries that shop is in. It is really the only way to find out if you are in any Treasury Easts! Here is the screen shot of the treasury  I am in - School's Out For Summer

The Elite Eight!

My La Vie en Rose treasury was picked as one of the " Elite Eight" treasuries in S and O Productions'  Treasury Tuesday post. I am honored to  have my treasury alongside such talented curators! Be sure to check it out! Here is the treasury:
