Treasury Thanks

The 4th of July weekend is drawing to a close, and it is time once again, for me to extend a

THANK YOU !!

to the curators of Etsy treasuries who featured items from my shops, Pasque Flower Creations and Aunt Pheba's Vintage, over the past week.

There were several red white and blue-themed treasuries this week.  But with Independence Day now in the rear view mirror, it's time to look ahead to Back to School and "the holidays"-- that blur that spans Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years -- the wild run-up to tax season.

Liz of The Little Empty Nest included my patriotic baby bib in her treasury, Stars and Stripes .  Liz's shop is a combination of beautiful beaded jewelry and the cutest 1/12 miniature dollhouse bedding and accessories.  Here's one of the pretty beaded items from The Little Empty Nest -- a blue and white crystal quartz 18" necklace .

Christine Tarski of WhispersintheGlen included my elephants baby bib in her treasury, Tempt Me at the Zoo .  This outlander Claire Scottish spring scarf is one of the beautifully handcrafted accessories you'll find in Christine's shop.  Hmmm - Husker colors.

StephGWatson (another Etsian with South Dakota roots) included my patriotic key fob in her treasury, The Celebrity Stars of Tempt Team Shops .  Stephanie's Pure Rest Etsy shop offers a wide assortment of soothing eye pillows and neck wraps made of organic cotton.  Here is a pretty organic eye pillow.

Georgia of gmaloudesigns included my neutrals oven mitt in her treasury, LoveLoveLove (actually three hearts, but I wasn't clever enough to find that symbol).  My longtime readers know I love purple -- including shades of lavender -- so it will be no surprise that I chose to feature this beautiful lavender leather purse from Georgia's shop.

Susan McAnany of McAnany featured my red linen bow clutch in her treasury, Red Hot Summer /  I love spending time outdoors on summer days.  This Anticipation dining wall art is a colorful depiction of the anticipation of eating "out."

JoannasScentedSoaps was looking ahead to Fall in her treasury, Amber, Yellow, or Orange?  I was honored to have my autumn leaves oven mitts included in this pretty treasury.  I love this artfully designed soap from Joanna's shop.

CatLady30 (a fellow Nebraskan) included my navy chevron oven mitt in her treasury, American Blue /  This patriotic pillars print reminds me of many small towns in the Midwest.

Georgia of gmaloudesigns is back -- this time with a LoveLoveLove treasury that included my navy and white chevron oven mitt.  You could rock the farmer's market with this wonderful leather and canvas shopper bag from Georgia's shop.

Darla of UniqueSilverBox included my poppies on teal oven mitts in her treasury simply titled, New Treasury .  This beautiful turquoise filigree ring is one of the beautiful jewelry items you will find in Darla's shop.

Crystal Cuff of Sensational Yarn included my patriotic bunting in her Star Spangled Banner treasury.  Crystal makes wonderful crochet blankets.

Margaret of SplendidLittleStars included my tumbled roses oven mitt in her treasury, Summertime!  This tie dye shirt is perfect for summer outings.

Vickie Wade of VickieWadeFineArt may have curated my favorite 4th of July treasury, PATRIOT ACT /  She included my red white and blue chevron oven mitt in this wonderful treasury.  This print, sunflower walk with grandpa, reminded me of my kind and gentle Grandpa Larson who died when I was 7 years old.

M.A. Dellinger of MADellingerWoodCarving also included my red white and blue chevron oven mitt in his treasury, It's a Block Party!   I love this lumberjack wood carving from Mark's shop.  I can almost hear the strains of Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man as I look at his carved characters.

Nancy C. Eckert of mysticneedle included my brown and white chevron oven mitt in her brown and aqua treasury, Summer Surprises .  This adorable owl change purse would delight some young girl.

Nancy from SugarFunOrnaments included my colorful hearts baby bib in her thank you treasury, A Downpour of Gratitude - Enjoy the Love .  I love this white dove ornament!  I could use a little PEACE and quiet after three very noisy sleepless nights with a terrified cat due to illegally detonated fireworks blasting throughout the neighborhood.  The ordinances will never be enforced due the political clout of the fireworks vendors.

Pat Peters picked a peck of pickled peppers and curated a lively red, green and yellow treasury, Five Little Peppers . . . Gratitude Treasury , which included my yellow linen bow clutch.  Pat's shop,, WhiskeysWhims, is a wonderful little vintage shop.  I love this vintage wood plane ornament.   

Pauline Clarke of polsknitsnstuff included my lions baby bib in her treasury, On a Warm Summer's Evening .  Pauline's Sammy the toy monkey is just TOO CUTE!  Don't you just want to hug him!

Francie of FrancieFare included my red chevron oven mitt in her treasury, Celebrate Good Times, Come On!  This potted geraniums watercolor reminds me of my Grandma Larson (the original Aunt Pheba) who always had pots of red geraniums on the windowsill above her kitchen sink.  I keep a red geranium on my front doorstep during the summer.

Crystal Cuff of Sensational Yarn included my Christmas bunting in her treasury, Christmas in July .  In addition to beautifully-crafted handmade crochet items, Crystal has some vintage jewelry in her shop -- like these vintage silver tone earrings.

Stephanie Watson of ARTEQUALSJOY included my green chevron oven mitt in her treasury, The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home .  That is SO true!  We always seem to congregate in the kitchen.  Here is a kitchen-friendly still life from Stephanie's shop, Peppers with White Bowl .

And last, but not least, Mike Kraus of MikeKrausArt included my red white and blue chevron oven mitt in his treasury, SUPER SUNDAY!  Mike has added several new items to his shop -- a creative surge after his vacation?  One of my favorite new pieces is this artist's trading card, Rue Augusta in Lisbon, Portugal .

Enjoy what's left of your 4th of July weekend!
