Weekend in the Mountains

Today, as I'm thinking about "the good old days" and long ago mountain summers, I get this little note to let me know one of my items has been picked for a treasury.  The treasury is entitled "Weekend in the Mountains"
Someone, il gatto selvatico, has taken the time to dream up a theme, sort through all of Etsy to come up with just the right assortment of complimentary items, and  assemble them as a group of artistic pieces to share with Etsy sellers and shoppers alike. 

This is one of my favourite things about Etsy.  Penelope, aka il gatto selvatico, does not know me.  She's all the way over there in Rome, creating her own beautiful works like her custom country necklace, and indian princess fleather earrings, working as hard as anyone else on Etsy to promote her own work.  And while she is doing this, she takes the time to put together a collection of other people's work, to show and share the skills and expertise of others.

Thanks Penelope!

Thanks so much to Deer Mayor for including the dainty antler in gold necklace in their Oh Deer treasury today.

So cute.  Look at all the awesome deer treasures!

Light as a feather - thanks Peachy Designs!

It's always nice to be appreciated.   Thanks to Peachy Designs for including the plume necklace in their treasury.

Don't forget to stop in each Monday for the extra special 2 for 1 Monday Madness.   Half price accessories?  You got it.

love and knit - sharing the Etsy love

Way to make me beg for autumn leaves love and knit!

love and knit is an independent designer creating bright, adventurous knits from Istanbul.  I just purchased this gorgeous pink, red, and brown cashmere cowl neck for a very, very reasonable price and I'm so excited to receive it.

One of the fantastic things about Etsy is that designers from all over the world are creating and selling for every season, all year round.

Just because it isn't cool outside yet doesn't mean I can't get a jump-start on fall accessories.  The early bird gets the worm, right?  In my case, the worm is this luscious cashmere neckwarmer.


Accessory lovers tip: it never hurts to buy out of season.  treasures are out there begging to be found.
