More People I Would Like to Meet in Real Life

Corinna of Piddix is one busy computer lady. I hesitated putting Corinna here because I didn't want to give my source away for all my collage sheets.

Cindy of cindyg has been a friend forever (well at least a couple of years, but in Etsy time that is forever!). We don't talk much anymore because her baby girl (who is over one year old now) takes up a lot of her time.

Pegg of fiveforty decided to step out of the picture. Were you ever there Pegg??

Wednesday Wonders

I love summers, but sometimes I think I may waste too much time on the computer. I really need to spend more time with my kids -- yes yes!! But after I post on this blog. You won't be disappointed with the wonderful Etsy sellers who featured me in their treasuries.

mamachee (Tara) is the head honcho on a new Team that I'm involved in. It's called TeamTreasury and all we do is make treasuries and feature 6-12 team members at least once a month. It's by invitation only, but if you are interested in joining contact me or Tara. We are trying to limit members to two per main category on Etsy.

Anything look familiar here? Well, maybe. But all these items are super cool! Check out Tara's shop. She a lot of patterns, too!

Okay, my husband's home for the day and I'll just leave you all to drool over these wonderful picks!

What's for Dinner?

I don't know what's for dinner, I'm too busy drooling over the shops of these awesome treasury curators!! Xenotees has the best tees and I should know. I own about 10 of them!! THE BEST -- and thanks, Noelle, for putting me in this treasury! This made the front page!

Cool shirts, cool guy! Xenotees, you have such great taste! Does this guy belong to you?

Summer Flowers by shecological sure brightened up my day!!

I own one of shecological's bags and they are the best. So comfortable and made exactly as I wanted it.

Blast of Color was curated by thebrickkiln. I think it was such a great treasury, it should have an encore!

Oh no, something else to tempt me. I just planted oregano and cilantro. These sticks would be so cool in my garden!! Karen and Cassie - stop tempting me!!


Off now to my shopping cart! :-) Not really, but it sounded like a nice way to end my blog!

Red White and Green

Hello there people! A quick post to highlight some great Etsy sellers. It's interesting that many of the treasuries in which PHP or RAR was featured were green, but I've just happened to find red and white items in each of their shops. Does that mean Christmas in June? I hope not...

MaisyandAlice is a wonderful Etsyian from Australia. I've always been attracted to Jill because her daughter is named the same as me!

It was a toss up between this beautiful necklace and the union jack necklace. I guess you better visit Jill's store for more beautiful felted finds!

Kerrin has some wonderful pieces in her shop. Go take a look! I dare you!!


Enjoy! And consider visiting each shop for your future gift giving needs. You never know, shopping now for Christmas will save headaches later!

Alice has left the blog.

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!
