Linens and Lace Treasury

Here's my latest treasury! I find myself really enjoying curating treasuries. It give me a chance to let my mind wander thru lots of shops. I don't really plan them out too much in advance. I check in the Treasury room and when I see that the treasuries are around 350 I go searching. I sometimes search by colors or materials, or sometimes a word just pops into my head and I run with it.

Hope you'll have a chance to look at the treasury-I'd love to hear your comments!

Springtime Treasury

Here's a treasury I created today. I hope you enjoy it! If you have a minute to check it out and leave your comments I'd love to know what you think of it!

Something's Fishy!

I love curating treasuries on Etsy. It gives me the opportunity to let my mind wander thru the many shops. Once I pick a theme I use the poster sketch tool to arrange and rearrange the treasury page until I make it something I really like. Here's a few of items from my latest treasury. If you haven't tried making a Treasury-you should! there's a wonderful group of artisans just waiting for a bit of exposure!

I got a Treasury tonight!

Some time you're in the right place at the right time. I sat down just to check into my shop tonight, when I clicked over to the Treasury page-and it was at 333! Within seconds it opened up and I got a Treasury! I usually have a poster sketch or two saved-just in case! So I thought I'd use this one: For the birds.Show all Check it out and let me know what you think!

Wow-I'm featured in a treasury

I like to make treasuries-It's a great way to look at a lot of shops here on Etsy. If you haven't tried to make one-you should. Let you imagine go wild. Treasuries can be anything you want them to be-base theme on a color, word, theme, season, anything or nothing at all! What's the purpose of treasuries? Well, they get you as a seller and buyer to get exposure to shops you might not have seen before. It's lets others see your creative expressions and maybe consider you in return. Here's the treasury I'm in tonight. It was put together by paisleykitten. She started off the the treasury with 1 item, and asked others to comment on her treasury-and to challenge them to see if they had anything that could coordinate with her initial item! What a neat idea! I think it turned out great! How about you? How did I get that that screen shot into my blog? It's pretty easy! First of all open up the page you want a screen shot of, right click-see the box that comes up? It should say view page info on the bottom line. You need the info from there to find out the page address. You can copy that info to thumbalizr. You then download your thumbalized image and paste into your blog. It sound complicated, but after a couple of tries even I mastered, well at least can use, it!

I got a Treasury tonight!

I made this lovely spring treasury today! Full of pinks, and yellows and greens. It just makes me smile! Hope it brightens up your day too!

Have you been featured in a Treasury?

One of the things I like to find are "Etsy hacks." Those simple tools we wish Etsy would have,but doesn't. If you have ever tried to figure out if you've been featured in a treasury or gift guide-you know you have to search the treasury pages one by one looking for the gold or silver stars. It can be a real chore-most of the time I just quit looking. But I just found this great site Craftopolis. You just type in your Etsy name and you can find out right away if you're in a Treasury! It's going to be working for gift guides soon too. Hope you have fun finding out if you've been featured in a treasury!

Michigan Trolls Team Treasury

AngiesdesignsShop got a treasury last night! What's a treasury? For those of you who look at Etsy-it's a showcase of favorite items picked by an Etsy member-a curator. The main treasury list is opened when there are under 333 lists showing. It's almost a game-you have your treasury title picked out and you need to type it it fast-and voila! you have a treasury. Now you fill the spaces with links to 12 items (plus for alternates) in any shops on Etsy. The Treasury is not intended for self-promotion, but instead to acknowledge and share the many cool things for sale on Etsy. Admin often choose an exceptional Treasury list to promote on the home page and occasionally make them to tie into Storque articles or special events and occasions. I love to see the themes and items other sellers pick out-some are very creative. It gives you a bit of exposure-and it's a good way to get to take a look at lots of great shops. If you haven't put together a Treasury yet-try it! But beware, treasury curating can become addicting...If you stay up to 4am just waiting for that list to open-don't say I didn't warn you!
