Need a Magnifying Glass? Me, Too.

Whoa, those images were TINY! Luckily I included those links to hook you up with the real treasuries, but how about a few you can actually see?

"Everybody's Doing It"


This one I created the first week everyone on Etsy got really into spooky treasuries. Halloween or All-Hallows-Eve is a festivity celebrated in many parts of the globe, so international sellers came together to get really creative for the occasion. I love Halloween, so why not?

(I also made a Harry Potter-themed treasury, which you can see here.)

"It's Geometric"


"It's Geometric" was a play on "It's Electric," which I'm not sure anyone got, but I thought it was pretty funny.

And in case you wanted a better look at those last few...

"En La Cucina"



"Breakfast in Bed"




"Gearing Up for Winter"


Look forward to more again soon! Happy exploring. :-)

Tids and Bits

All right. Flog me. I haven't been on in months.

Good news, though. I'm on now!

I'm in the midst of a product photography crash course, which will helpfully lead to a wonderful new look for my store sometime before the end of the winter season. I am not foreseeing a huge holiday rollout, as I had hoped for earlier this year; but one can only take on so much at a single time, and I accept this.

But here's something fun! A couple times a week, I put together a treasury on Etsy, just to keep apprised of what the other businesses are doing, what is in fashion, how items work stylistically with each other from shop to shop--it keeps my creative juices flowing, especially when I'm feeling drained of ideas for my own shop.

Here are a few of my favorites from this year, complete with links, in case you feel inspired to do a little shopping yourself!

"En La Cucina"


This one was inspired from the pie box in the top left corner. What a simple concept, and yet such an enticing idea! The red embellishments for the photograph helped me pull from other shops for a vintage-kitchen feel.

"Breakfast in Bed"

I started this one after seeing the pillowcase displayed in the top right. What a clever concept! The rest of the treasury was birthed from the notion of sleeping in and enjoying the morning--complete with French-press coffee, or, if you prefer, tea!

"Gearing Up for Winter"


No time of year is a bad time of year for a little dose of the Christmas spirit! This collection came to me in bits and pieces. It practically created itself.
