Yellow, Yellow, Kiss a Fellow: Latest Treasury

What a gorgeous day here in the Hudson Valley! It's like a little taste of spring, and I'm loving it! There's nothing like a good dose of Vitamin C to make you feel human again. In light of this lovely weather, I made a sunny treasury of yellow items from my fellow "TT Team" Etsy members. Here are a few highlights.

Facebook Goodies

Can you believe January's nearly over? Crazy how fast the time is going! I can't say I'm sad to see it go, since it means we're one month closer to spring. While January wasn't terrible in the Hudson Valley in terms of storms, I just don't do cold very well. But, enough bitching about winter--it's time to announce the next Accessory Showcase giveaway! Earlier this month, I gave away a lovely gold multi-chain necklace to my 100th Facebook fan.
This week, I'm giving away more delightful items! Once the 150-fan mark is reached, I'll do a random drawing of 2 lucky people, who will each receive a free piece from the Accessory Showcase collection. But, wait! There's more! To sweeten the pot, each winner will get a coupon code for 20% off their next purchase. Here's what's on the table for our winners.
Vintage-inspired gold finish heart locket and rosette charm earrings
Charmed Life stylized feather and shell key charm
Show some love by "liking" the Facebook page (if you haven't already) and posting the link on your wall, so your friends can "like" it too. You and your friends will have a shot at winning. You're welcome!

Treasure Me!

Many thanks to Pieces of Home Mosaics and Art Harmony, two fellow Etsians, for featuring items from the Accessory Showcase collection in their treasuries! I'm a treasury makin' fool, so it feels great to have other Etsy shop owners return the love.

Here are some highlights from the "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" and "Bosom of the Sea" treasuries. Enjoy!

Groove is in the Heart

Last night, while completing a custom pair of earrings for a friend, Dee-Lite's "Groove is in the Heart" inexplicably came into my head and wouldn't leave! Love the song, so it naturally (at least for an Etsy junkie like me) inspired me to create a Mod/retro treasury. This treasury was a blast to make. Here are a couple of highlights.

Longing for Spring: My Latest Treasury

So, today was a sunny and mild (for January) day in the Hudson Valley, which helped to melt away most of the evidence of last weekend's snowfall. This made me have a hankering for all things green and new.Luckily, some of my fellow Etsians came through with some lovely spring green items for me to create a treasury with, like these pretty tealight holders from Raven Hill Pottery.
Check out my latest Etsy treasury. It'll put a little spring in your step!
