Front Page - and I missed it!

This treasury, by Olaladesign - aptly named Sleeping Beauty - was apparently on the front page of Etsy yesterday evening...and I missed it! I have to confess, I do love a bit of Celebrity Scissorhands.....
I really must get to work on some new products - then, if this happens again (fp), at least there will be something new in my shop to look at. I can't complain - I've been really busy - but the old fancypicnic wares definitely need an injection of newness. I just need to get today and the weekend over with, those orders completed, and my restless fingers can get cracking!

Crikey, Really?!

I've decided to break out of blog hibernation (half term holidays, etsy custom orders....and, sadly, the dreaded lurgy...) to show you this. Utilemud's treasury, which includes my Pomp and Ceremony wrist cuff, was on the Front Page of etsy this morning - that's so exciting for me! I'd like to thank all those lovely people who took time out of their busy day to let me know about it. Thanks so much!

Remember I Wrote About 'Blowing Your Own Trumpet'?!

Thank you to Heloise for screen grabbing this treasury for me whilst it posed beautifully on the front page at etsy! I can't quite believe my luck with these treasuries lately...
If anyone knows who curated this treasury, above, I'd love to find out.* I think there is a special little place, treasury heaven really, where fp's reside once they are spent. I read about it on a blog recently. I wish I knew where to look - after all, you're reading the words of someone who only discovered Treasury West a week or so ago...
This treasury, Surrounded...above, was curated by the lovely Valerie of mistflowerstudio. I love these rusts and greens - quite apt for this time of year!

I put these treasuries in to my blog not to shout 'look at me!!' (honestly!), but to show how unbelievable it is to find items you've never found before that are all similar in one way or another (usually the common thread is colour), waiting to be discovered...by me, by you, anyone! Such a hugely diverse range of products are out there, and I think I'm quite humbled whenever I discover that a product of mine is actually part of a curation. I love looking through the Treasury, and now that I've 'unlocked' Treasury West, well, the excitement simply increases!

Little Gems

Etsy treasury by mistflowerstudio, Flaunting Their Stuff
Etsy treasury by HotInjectionJewellery, Going Out After? Then try these on...

Such beautiful treasuries to find yourself in! I love mistflowerstudio's - the teal and dusky rose combination is a favourite of mine. Such a delicate and feminine colour palette. Thank you so much, Valerie, for making my Midsummer Collar (centre, top) feel right at home!

HotInjectionJewellery's curation is full of fabulous costume drama, wouldn't you say? Just as I discovered it over at Treasury West, it appeared on the Front Page at Etsy! Yay! My Enchanted Collar is nestled down in the bottom right corner - thank you, Holly!

(I'm in love with Ellita's fabulous stoles/collars...must go get one - but which?!)

With Elegance -

I was thrilled to find that Cathy's beautiful treasury 'POETRY for you secret love' features my D'Urbervilles Pendant. I think this is a beautiful collection - and it's unusual for me because most of my jewellery is quite busy and colourful, unlike this particular piece. This treasury selection makes it look quite elegant, doesn't it?
A beautiful collection of pieces, actually featuring a number of artists whose work I really like...materialised, Roadside, LittleRobot, NuitBlanche...beautiful Cathy, thank you xx

Hold the Front Page!

Look at this...! I rolled in after a busy day, had some time with my little ones and then flopped in front of this 'ole thing, tuning in to being a sensible businesswoman (?) for the evening. What's this? Umpteen messages in my inbox?? A sale or two?? Pardon?

The last couple of messages I read explained everything...now, I don't mean to blow my own trumpet here, although it's going to sound like it....but there I was, on the front page at etsy!! Chuffed? I'll say. Many, many thanks to mistflowerstudio for including my earrings amongst so many gorgeously vibrant items.
