What a treat to come home from a birthday party today to find several nice messages waiting for me in my Etsy shop! This beautiful collection made it to the front page of etsy today, and my bowls are right there in the middle!

Thank you salalknits for including my work in your treasury. Thank you Etsy admin for choosing this one to grace your front page. And last, but not least, thank you Karen (misseskwittys), Rebecca (bananasaurusrex), and Angela (aandboriginals) for your sweet congrats messages. I will go to sleep feeling very hearted tonight. Hope your Saturdays were great too!

The main treasury opened up at the perfect time yesterday...about 11:20 am, while my daughter was at preschool. I have had these two colors on my mind lately, and I was thrilled to be able to find super items from etsyfriends, csst, and design style guide members. Go teams!

There is one day left for this collection to be viewed, and I am super excited that it is on the first page of *hotness*. If you haven't viewed it, please click on the picture to go straight to the treasury page. There is no more room for comments, but clicking on each of the fabulous items will make this even more popular! I've never had a treasury that I made make it to the front page- with your help, maybe this one can do it!!

I don't snag treasuries as often as I'd like, so when I do, I feel an overwhelming urgency to include all of the people who are kind enough to include me in theirs from time to time. There are just never enough spaces, so I know I need to double my efforts in this department! This is my latest treasury creation, though, and I do hope you will click on it and visit the shops of these talented artists. Don't forget to leave a comment there, too- people love to read those!

And, I am pleasantly overwhelmed at my good fortune today...thanks to craftopolis.com, I see that I currently have items featured in several beautiful collections.

Treasured Treasuries

My "sunny side up" nested bowls are currently featured in two gorgeous Etsy treasuries!

This stunner, "violet and green", is curated by ArzuMusa and it has 2 more days left to be enjoyed. Clicking on the photo will take you directly to the treasury where you can leave a compliment for the creator!

Thank you EllaScottJewels and ArzuMusa for choosing to include my item in your collections!

A Most Popular Item

I created these napkin cuffs with the holidays in mind. I thought they would look so festive at a special gathering! I love the garnet red with the bay leaf green. Would you believe my husband and I labored over the exact shade of green for an entire evening? I'm still not sure we nailed it.

Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought this would be a super color combination! Yesterday I heard from a friend that they were spotted here in the editor's picks (toward the bottom left). What an honor!

And this morning, I received a kind message from Michelle at naturemanipulated. She placed them in this GORGEOUS treasury. There are two days left for this treasury to be active, and it is on the second page of *hotness*. I have no idea how treasuries are really chosen to be on the front page, but wouldn't this make a great fp collection?

I Nabbed A Treasury Today!

It doesn't happen for me often, but I was in the right place at the right time today! I built this treasury around the Luna Moth shown here, and had a wonderful time finding artists on Etsy's Interior Design Team that had elements that fit my theme. The IDT has been very good to me, and I'm thrilled to be able to give back in a small way.
