As we approach the holiday season, lots of beautiful Treasuries are being curated on Etsy. I am thankful to those who have included my handmade creations, both crochted and paper-crafted, in their collections. Below is a sampling of blue and brown noteworthy items from these curators’ shops. If you click on the large image, you’ll be taken to a page of interactive images and can shop to your heart’s content. Thank you again, everyone!

Starting off the week with “cute” helps me put the right foot forward—I hope it does for you, too. Feel free to click on any of the images below as you browse through the handmade creations and vintage products of these Etsy shopowners. As you can tell from the previous post, I am still playing catch-up as I thank everyone who shared my handmade items in their Etsy Treasury collections. Let me know what your favorite item is, too, by commenting below the post.

Since the middle of April, my husband and I have been “on the go,” volunteering for Destination Imagination activities both in Iowa and Tennessee, visiting family in Wisconsin, and going on a cabin retreat in northeastern Iowa. The result has been that I have not had a chance to thank the Etsy artisans and vintage sellers who included me in their Treasuries during this period. Please take the time to visit these curators by clicking on the images below, which represent items in their shops.

The countdown to the holidays is still on. As those holidays approach, Etsy Treasuries tempt potential buyers with carefully crafted handmade items. The curators of the Treasuries below are no exception, presenting a broad array of products. Thank you to all of them for featuring my handmade items in their collections.
Marianne of Shadowgraph selected one of my felted Inspiration Books for her Treasury titled “her Xmas stocking.” Marianne’s shop is relatively new, since she just opened it in September. She makes wonderful hand silk-screened silhouette banners. “Each triangle,” she says, “is silk screened by hand and sewn and strung on vintage string.”

Nancy of N. Fallon Design Studio included one of my crochet scarflettes in her Treasury named “The Fantastic BBA in Red and Violet!” Right now Nancy is offering a terrific value in her shop with 25% off all jewelry and 20% off all knit winter scarves and gift card sets, along with free shipping. Make sure your read the information beneath her shop banner for full details. The cute little coin purse below is fully lined in cotton fabric, and the sturdy zipper has a leather pull.

Bethany of Amborela included one of my crocheted spa cloth sets in her Treasury named “Bathroom Decor – Teal, Espresso, and Cream.” She specializes in modern paintings that coordinate with your home decor. Bethany often uses fiber, fabric, glass beads, pearls, vellum, and clay in her paintings. In the painting shown below, acrylic and glass beads are incorporated into the treescape.
