Treasury Thanks

Only 45 days until Christmas! YIKES!

 

Even though the USA Thanksgiving holiday is late this year, this week's treasuries are a clear indication that we have collectively set our sights on Thanksgiving and Christmas -- and yes, according to the little widget at the bottom of my blog, there are only 45 days until Christmas.   My attempt to encourage early sales with a 20% off CYBER20 Coupon Code has not been successful to date, so I'm bracing for a frantic holiday rush.

 

 

This week, as always, I devote my Sunday post to saying THANK YOU to the curators of Etsy treasuries who featured items from my Etsy shops, Pasque Flower Creations and Aunt Pheba's Vintage, in treasuries over the past week.  Please enjoy this sampling of items from their shops, and Like and Share if you can.  We're all in this together - promoting handmade and small entrepreneurs.  You may even be able to cross a few names of your shopping list!  So sit back and enjoy!

 

 

Margaret of Splendid Little Stars featured my leaves of gold table runner in her treasury, Autumn Is in the Air.  (That's for sure -- today is "brisk"!) This pretty silk velvet scrunchie in rosy red from Margaret's shop would be great for the holidays. 

 

 

Valerie of NandysNook featured my aqua on brown oven mitt in her treasury, Tempting Greens.  These Aran coffee cup cozies are one of the beautifully-crafted crochet items you will find at Nandy's Nook.  In fact -- I ordered a set.  They will be perfect stocking stuffers for two of my adult kids who are commuters and coffee lovers.  They were beautifully packaged, and the workmanship was outstanding. 

 

 

My cousin Lise (LL Pyles) of DustyDiggerLise featured my jungle animals in aqua and black baby bib in her treasury, Cowbaby.  If you have a little cowboy or cowgirl on your list, be sure to check out this treasury!  Lise's vintage shop specializes in paper vintage items -- a great browse!  As Boomers, we grew up watching Westerns on TV.  This 1940s riders magazine ad predates us, but it is a reminder of those bygone days.  And for any Prairie Home Companion fans -- it reminds me of Garrison Keillor's fictional cowboys, Dusty and Lefty.

 

Vita Epstein of JewelrybyVita featured my tomatoes and herbs on gray oven mitt (one of my personal faves) in her budget-friendly gift guide treasury, Under 25 - For Kids and Grownups.  I chose to feature this silver and leather choker from Vita's shop. 

This beautiful statement piece is part of her natural leaves jewelry line, that Vita describes as follows:

I love the shape of my trees. In fact, we all love trees. We adore their size, their shape, colure, even their age – but we hardly look at their leaves – their smallest component… The leaves in my jewelry are the theme. They had been collected from very common trees , lots of which we see along the sidewalks, and in public gardens (like Sisam and Kisos. I am not sure about their botanical names..) After drying them, they are coated by Silver Sterling in an electroforming process which gives them their hardness and preserves their original texture.

What I do is taking them out of their original context and from being small and ignored elements – I turned them into an autonomous objects, beautiful as they are for themselves - I give them another “life” .Since they are so trivial, they even can be understood as a metaphor for other trivial and ignored things around us – that we can easily enjoy!!!...

My leaves items are for Nature lovers. Once you notice their origin, you cannot ignore them, neither the woman who wear them…."

And I'll end on a festive note.  Christy from belleonabudget featured my retro-inspired red linen bow clutch in her treasury, It's a Christmas Party!   I think these red, green and crystal earrings would be great fun to wear to a Christmas party - and at only $5.50, why not splurge a little on you, your Secret Santa, or someone on your gift list.

And there you have it -- another wonderful week for treasuries.  Please share the Etsy love by visiting some of these shops.

Now Ho, Ho, Ho -- I'm off to sew!
