Saturday Salutations



Getting ready for our camping trip leaves me with little time to hang out with my Etsy friends. But I did want to feature some wonderful artists who included me in one of their treasuries. The pictures will speak for themselves!! I love each and everyone of these treasuries and items from their shops!! Enjoy!!

Wowsers!

I've been having fun using props in my shop. I know I could be more creative, but right now I'm into rocks and Legos.

What makes a good picture? That's always debatable, but having great pictures is really what sells items on Etsy. Not only were these treasuries made with wonderful photography, but the items in each seller's shop uses great photography and/or props.

Monicaj curated this beautiful treasury with PHP included.



Oh Monica, oh monica, you create some fabulous "things" in your shop!

GreenPost is another seller with great taste! Really -- go look for yourself. It shows in her treasuries, too.


Wow -- amazing photography! Thanks for the inspiration, Greenpost!

I'll never forget you, Stylinstuff! Beautiful treasury!


I love your props!! So cute! Stylinstuff made me smile today!

Two beautiful colors made for a gorgeous treasury. Sometimes, I think treasuries should be shown again because of their creativity! Thanks, RedChair, for the love!

Some things don't need props - or they look good with or without them. Such is the case with these necklaces by RedChair!

It's never time to stop shopping, pixiepaper!!

New picture frames are in pixiepaper's shop! I wonder if there's one just for the man. I'm sure it would be a great Father's Day gift, hint, hint!

In Memory Of...

This posting is in memory of Beth's (junkyardgypsy) mom, who recently passed away. Beth has been away from for awhile, but I wanted to showcase her shop because she did make a treasury featuring PipingHotPapers and I've been waiting for her to reopen. I hope you have only sweet memories of your mom, Beth. I've been thinking and praying for you during this time of loss.


Beth has a so-weet shop of vintage finds! Check it out if you want to stroll down memory lane (if you're old enough to remember), or to taste a bit of history.

Flipflop Weather hit the spot for me -- just before summer hits full force. RedChair is known for her superb treasury making skills and this is no exception! Ha - I even got a screen shot in the midst of someone clicking on her items!


Heidi, oh Heidi. Look at that fool's gold necklace! You could've fooled me!

Green Grass Grows right along with that flip flop weather. Tinahdee sure made a beautiful summer inspired treasury!

Woah! These rings are wonderful and inticing and lovely and more!! You need to visit tinahdee's shop right now!!

I LOVE WHIMSICAL COLORS by ixela! I used to be full of whimsy, but I think it left me recently.


Ale creates the most gorgeous neck wraps, shrugs, etc. She also has a fun car necklace in her shop! If that ain't whimsical, I don't know what is!

These Make Me Smile -- and I truly did when I was included in this treasury by SarahJohnAfana! Trival Pursuit anyone?



My California Girl-friend is going to lull me to sleep with these very contemplative pieces of artwork!!




Hope you're feeling better Beth! Too bad we live so far apart - I would visit over a cup of coffee with you!

Wacky Wednesday

Did you ever read Wacky Wednesday to your kids when they were growing up? It was great fun trying to find all the things that didn't belong in each picture. It was a short but time consuming book. My kids loved it!

The treasuries are kind of like that too. I go visit a list and am amazed that my one item that really shouldn't be there, does in fact, look pretty cool. I think it's the ability of these treasury curators to make any thing look great.

I really love the color scheme of this treasury curated by budanART. Mandy has such a wonderful eye for color! You can see it in each of her abstract landscapes. I always enjoy visiting Mandy's shop and browsing through her store. One of my desires is to buy an original -- I don't think it will ever happen, but I do like dreaming.




Even though an original is out of my price range, I have purchased many of Mandy's prints. Two hang on my wall and her greeting cards are super lovely!! Oh, and I have a couple of magnets, too!



Just as bold in a muted way, is the treasury made by RedChair. Heidi (my yodeling friend - not really, but her name fits the bill) - creates the most gorgeous treasuries. She can take one of my mirrors -- full of bones -- and slip it right in amongst all the other gorgeousness.



Heidi's shop is full of wonderfully creative jewelry. I can tell she loves color and creates necklaces and earrings even I would enjoy wearing! I'm sure I wouldn't even look wacky in one of the pieces I've highlighted below.




TheBrickKiln decided they love PHP alot!! Two treasuries! Woo Hoo. Karen and Cassie (a mother daughter team), make the greatest treasuries -- at least I think they're great when PHP is included. Okay, okay, they are great no matter who is included in their treasury.


Get ready for Father's Day right now by visiting TheBrickKiln's shop. Their pottery is wonderful! Every dad would sure love a piece with all his kids' names on it.

I bought a spoon holder for my daughter for her new house, but she decided to use it as a ring dish instead. The versatility of these pieces is amazing. They can be used for anything! You name it, you can use it. :-)




Yalp by Sigmosaics was a play on Lucas' domino magnet. I don't care -- I thought it was great. And Lucas loved to be featured in this wonderful treasury.


These mini vases are the cutest and I know I'm going to buy one of the eggs/ornaments for my next Christmas tree. Thanks, Kerrin, for the color feast in your shop!



My Wacky Wednesday ended up being a wonderful time visiting the shops of the creative and talented Etsy sellers/treasury curators. Take a moment and buy handmade for your next gift giving opportunity!
