I had a chance late Saturday night to look through all of the shops of curators who included me in their Etsy Treasuries during the last few weeks. Thank you, everyone! It was truly a visual delight. I hope you’ll visit some of the shops shown in the two collections below so you can have a similar experience. Just click on the Treasury image itself, and you’ll reach that page on Etsy. Happy browsing!

While Iowa lawns and fields have been scorched during high-90s and 100+ temperatures, I’ve been buried in paper (literally) inside my air-conditioned paper crafting studio. A little over a month ago, I ordered a lovely new desk from Pottery Barn and was thankful to learn it would take several weeks to get to me. A delayed delivery may not sound like a reason to celebrate, but you didn’t see what my paper crafting room looked like a few weeks ago. Embarrassing, to say the least! In any event, the desk has now arrived, and the room is tidier than I’ve ever seen it. In fact, I’m not sure it even belongs to me. Take a look now, since it won’t last! I am, after all, the Queen of Piles.
Meanwhile, I’ve fallen behind in thanking the Etsy curators who included my handmade items in their Treasuries while I was involved in my clean-up project. Please take the time to visit their shops by clicking on the Treasury below that will take you to their individual handmade items. Thank you again, everyone!

Ordinarily I post a Treasury showcase on Tuesdays, but this week I’ve been slogging my way through tax return preparations—not my favorite thing to do, I must admit. Happily, I have finished that task and can now browse through curators’ shops and Treasuries to explore all of the wonderful handmade products in them. Thank you to the creators of these collections who included my handmade items among their selections! All of the photos below are clickable.
Nancy of N. Fallon Design Studio included my Rebecca Bag in Royal Blue, Yellow and Scarlet in her Treasury titled “Dreams of warm weather and emerging spring!” She has a BOGO (buy one, get one) sale going on in her shop right now for coin purses, so you’ll want to take advantage of it. I love all the colors in this coin purse.

Sarah of Magnolia Surprise included my Spring Garden Crochet Thread Flower Brooch in her Treasury called “You’re my blue sky, you’re my sunny day…” Her shop is all about functional crochet, such as these sturdy cotton dish cloths in nautical red, white and blue.

Kathy of tapestry316 included my Fertile Earth Felted Wool Needle Book and Envelope Pocket Album for Photos in her Treasury named “Warm Spring Colors to Chase away the Cold Winter!” Her talent for bringing out the personality of animals in her drawings and paintings is evident in the illustrations below.

Erika of Artful Rising included my Turquoise Crochet Scarf in her Treasury titled “Colors of Spring!” She specializes in art journals. I think this one is one of my favorites, since it reminds me of my favorite college professor, a nun who once worked with Mother Theresa.
Janet of Honey From The Bee included my Cat on a Hot Spot Felted Wool Needle Book and mushroom-themed Mini Brag Book in her Treasury called “Cockatoo Tango.” I never get tired of looking at the rich, nature-inspired designs that are evident in Janet’s jewelry.

Linda of Linda B’s Jewelry included my Mini Scrubbie Set for Every Day and matching white Spa Cloth Set in her Treasury named “Spring Trends Blogging Business Artisans Style.” You still have a couple of days to get 15% off any of her jewelry priced over $12 by using the coupon code SAT15 during checkout. I really like these wire-wrapped hair combs.

Sweet Apple Studios included one of my felted cover Inspiration Books in her Treasury titled “Sunset inspirations.” One of her specialties is pyrography, the art of burning designs into wood. This bangle bracelet is simply gorgeous; I can’t believe the detail this Canadian artist achieved by burning designs into such a narrow space.

Rose of randomcreative included my green-and-gold felted wool Inspiration Book in her Treasury called “Bring On the Spring Green.” The detailed effort that goes into her beaded jewelry designs is apparent from every photo in her shop. This dagger beaded bracelet in translucent green, white and pink is perfect for spring.

Lola of Lola’s Jewels included my Envelope Pocket Album for Photos in her Treasury titled “Tangerine and Lime.” All of her jewelry is made to order, and much of it includes hand-stamped, inspirational sayings. This carpe diem (seize the day) bracelet would make a perfect gift for a high school or college graduate.

Alery of Alery Accessories also included my Pocket Photo Album for Photos in her Treasury named “Lavender morning.” Her shop features both hand enameled jewelry and hand-painted silk scarves. I love Alery’s marriage of antiqued copper and pearls in the earrings shown below.

Well, spring is continuing, relentlessly, with temperatures that are 20-degrees-plus higher than normal. No problem, though—I think we’re all up to facing such a challenge—and so are the curators at Etsy who have designed Treasuries to match the season. Come browsing with me through these great collections of handmade and vintage items that include some of my own handmade products. All photos are clickable.
Karo of karoArt included my Envelope Pocket Album for photos in her Treasury titled “Earthly Delights.” Karo, who is from Dublin, Ireland, features what she calls “quirky ceramics” in her shop, which includes Tweet Bowls (bowls with a bird perched on its edge) and 3-D tile wall art such as the one shown below.

Emmalee of Emmalee Shallenberger also included my Envelope Pocket Album for photos in her Treasury called “Earth Tones and a Splash of Bright.” She specializes in watercolor and acrylic paintings, including this beautiful painting of orchids.

Becky of Cloverknitty included my post-bound Inspiration Journal with felted covers in her Treasury titled “Forest flowers.” Becky makes hand-knitted items from natural and eco wool and chunky, textured wools, as well as ceramic pendants and wooden and pottery buttons. Isn’t this cushion a lovely shade of blue?

Robin of Wolfie’s Bindery included my Enchanted Garden Felted Wool Needle Book in her Treasury called “The Charm of Buttons.” Robin, who is a book restorer and devoted diarist, makes blank, lined, graph or specialty journals. I had a difficult time choosing one journal to feature below, since she has so many beautiful ones in her shop.
