Positive Response to Newer Items

I've been fortunate enough to be featured in a few new Etsy Treasuries. I want to post them here. I hope this is not too obnoxious, but feel free to let me know if it is. I'm still in the phase where every Treasury feature feels like I've won some special award! Be sure to check out the shops of the artists included in these treasuries - You're in for a real treat. Thanks for looking.




The curator of this treasury is Distinctive Decor. You can visit her shop here.

The Only Peas I Love

Hi. Here's the latest Etsy Treasury I put together. Take time to check out the shops I've included.

Treasuries

It is a great honor to be included in Etsy treasuries. It means someone has seen my work and liked it enough to include it with 15 other favorites. I'm always happy and pleasantly surprised when someone has taken the time to acknowledge me in this way.

Here are a couple of treasuries I've been included in lately. Please take time to visit the shops that are represented.

Treasury

I've been included in another beautiful treasury. This time one by Berkeley Bloom. Take a moment to look at all of the colorful offerings from some wonderful Etsy artists:

Divinely Swirled Treasury by Sampler Village

Recently, I contributed some tags for a couple of sample boxes through Sampler Village. If you aren't familiar with sample boxes, they are quite amazing. It's an opportunity for a buyer to purchase one box that includes samples of goodies from many online stores that specialize in handmade items. I bought a box in December and it included candles, cookies, lotions, cupcake toppers, wine glass charms, lip balm and more. So for a very reasonable price, I was able to try out products from several different stores.

As a seller, I provided samples of my tags and cards which were distributed in sample boxes and mailed. It's a great way to get some exposure and all I had to do was supply a few samples.

Sampler Village was started by Traci Porczynski in 2009. She spends many hours and expends a lot of energy helping promote handmade sellers. I am thankful for the work she does! I hope you will take time to visit the Sampler Village blog for more information.

I'm also a member of the Sampler Village Etsy Street Team. Traci compiled an Etsy Treasury for some of the Team members and she picked some of my tags. Here it is:




Thanks Traci, for all your hard work!

Leaf Treasury

Here is a beautiful leaf treasury by Divinedepth. She included one of my leaf tag sets. Take a look at the treasury and be sure to visit the shops included - there is some really nice stuff here:

Just a Few Bullet Points to Get Caught Up

• It's hotter than Hades here in Columbia, Missouri. It's expected to stay this way until at least Friday. I hate being hot, it makes me sweaty, smelly and grumpy!

• Velma (the hen) has been escaping into the backyard of our neighbors - again. They are very nice people and have not complained. They let me toss my kids over the fence to chase the chickens back into our yard. (The hen has to fly, the chicks just run through the fence). Then I hoist my kids back over to our side of the fence.

• Today, I clipped Velma's wings. I read about how to do it, last night in my farm book (by Joel Salatin). After I did it, I cried because I was afraid Velma wouldn't be able to protect her chicks any more with those short, stubby little wings. That, and the fact that she looked kind of stupid. But after spending time on Youtube, seeing many other people clipping the wings of their run away chickens, (and describing it as being the same as a haircut for you and me), I felt much better.

• I listed three new items in my Etsy shop and I'm very proud of them:

These were made with rubber stamps that I had designed and carved myself. The owl, tree branch and leaves are 3 separate stamps and the tree on the little tree tags is stamped with 2 stamps. I really love carving rubber stamps, especially when I have designs I like.

• Finally, LC's Cottage used my little tree tags in her Etsy Treasury. I think this is a beautiful treasury and am really excited to have been included.

A New Treasury

I'm feeling especially fortunate today. I found out that I have been featured in another Etsy treasury! Wow! The curator is Lynchgirl - I hope you will take time to visit her Etsy shop and the shops of others in this treasury. It's so much fun to be recognized, isn't it?

Etsy Treasury

I love to open my email to find a surprise message from someone. Whether it's someone I haven't heard from in awhile or someone who is purchasing from my Etsy shop. I love it. Today I got a message from Devi of Hippie Kingdom letting me know she had included some of my tags in her treasury. I'm really excited about this because I've only been in a couple of other treasuries and I've never actually gotten to see my stuff in a treasury. So thanks for letting me "toot my own horn" here by posting the treasury. I hope you'll take some time to check out Hippie Kingdom and the others who are included in this treasury.
