Shop News: Etsy To Remove Treasury Feature

Good Morning,

Today's blog is very brief.  The link below will take the reader to an Etsy blog post.  Etsy has decided to remove the Treasury feature from the site.  All though current treasuries will remain up, no new treasuries will be allowed after October 5, 2016.

You can find the information here, along with links to other ways Etsy claims to help the seller and the buyer market and find items.

Tuesday Treasuries

Good Morning,

I thought trying something a little different might spice things up a bit.

Instead of showcasing five shops and their individual items I thought I would promote gift giving through other people's eyes.  Below are four Treasuries, collections of items, usually with a theme, that other people have found appealing and put together in a little window.

You may see the individual items in each of the Treasuries or visit the curators' shops by clicking on the links provided.

Three Gifts and Treasuries!

Happy Tuesday,

This morning I am pleased to share with you a new shop on Etsy, and just in time for Back-To-School.  These super cute tote bags are great for Gym, Quick Shopping Trips, Extra Stuff.  Have a look hand made and very pretty.


Description: This is a multi use storage tote with two straps. It is hand painted with purple and white morning glories and lush green leaves and vines. There are black factory stamped butterflies on the tote as well. It is perfect for storing all sorts of things. It's a great place to keep your books or your yarn and craft supplies. It would be a great catch all to leave by the stairs to fill with things you need to bring up. In the office you can use it for files or folders. It would look nice in a guest room filled with linens. It's a storage solution that's too pretty to hide.

This basket came with the butterflies factory stamped. I painted the flowers with acrylic paint mixed with textile medium. Both sides are painted and there is a single flower painted on the back. There is also a factory added tag that you can label if you want.
8 in x 14 in x 6.5 in

Packaged with lots of care and love and will ship 1-2 days after payment is received.
Great effort has gone into accurately describing and photographing products, but please note color representation alters depending on individual screen settings.


Description: This is a OOAK hand painted distressed black messenger bag with bright burgundy and white flowers. It also has a small silver butterfly charm for some extra sparkle. There is a small zippered compartment that would be perfect for keys or money. This is a versatile bag that can be used to carry anything. Its bold beautiful colors make it a unique fashion accessory that you will find yourself coming back to again and again.


I used acrylic paint mixed with a textile medium. It was air cured for 48 hours and then I heat set the paint to ensure longevity. The centers of the flowers are embellished with hand sewn seed beads. I added a butterfly charm to make it unique.

Description:  This is a hand painted denim tote bag with a smiling green book worm sitting on a blue book. The worm has blue plastic eyes that move when the bag does. There's a red ribbon bookmark for a dimensional look. What a cool back to school bag. Or a bag to carry your library books, or anything else. No matter what your mood (relaxed, playful, thoughtful) this bag is a versatile accessory that you'll keep coming back to. It's also a great way to add a touch of color and fun to your wardrobe.

Treasuries:

What is a Treasury?  It is a collection of sixteen items (sometimes less) taken from different stores on Etsy.  They are complied by Buyers / Sellers and usually consist of a common or main theme.

May treasuries focus on a color, a Season, a particular item or a Holiday.  The one below is "Curated" or created by me.  Although the items are not a click-able link from the blog, you may follow the link to the Treasury itself and have a look.  Etsy has lots and lots, and did I say lots of Treasuries.  Why not try giving one a perusal the next time your shopping.

Five Great Gifts to Give 2/28/12

As always Tuesday is gift ideas or suggestions on the blog.  This morning I am a gift short so we have two gifts to give and a two treasuries to look through.  There are three new shops to peruse, too.



Description: Created with vintage antique bronze frame charm pendant and chain.
Very elegant, unique and one of a kind. Custom print and designed with a Hamsa hand for protection, good luck and prosperity.
Necklace is about 18" long but can be adjusted per request with no extra charge.
ALL MY ITEMS ARE HANDMADE AND ONE OF A KIND.


MGGems created Aquamarine For March Babies a beautiful Treasury collection full of, you guessed it, Aquamarine things for March Birthdays. She has chosen some wonderful items as well.  You'll have to click through for photos, I can't post all 16 here.
Aquamarine Crystal

 The idea behind Treasuries is to showcase your favorite items from around Etsy, promote others, as it were.  The above Treasury includes one of my items and in return I have curated my own list and added an item from MGGems.

Just Mad About Maille is my own list of Chain Maille items from the shops on Etsy, in other words, my competition.  However as each Mailler is unique so too are their pieces.  No two are alike, many of the weave patterns are the same, there is only so much you can do with a jump ring, but what some of those artists do with those jump rings is pretty amazing.
  
Square Aluminum Twist of Fate Bracelet (from the collection)


Cezanne Spring Abalone  Shell Silver Bracelet Armband

Description:  Handmade by Soblue. 

Inspired by Cézanne‘'s work.

From beautiful and high quality abalone shell pieces. It's rich in colors, it's pure from the nature. it looks like a oil painting, it's stylish. Under the light, it gives amazing reflection which changes the colors.

All the metal parts are from sterling silver.

Thank you for stopping by and having a look, I hope we have inspired you to think outside the Department or Big Box Store for your gift-giving ideas.
