A New Treasury by Stella Pearl

Peace of Doves is a new Treasury by Etsy seller Stella Pearl. Excited as always by a treasury featuring one of my items, I can't help but check out the curator's store. Who can resist "Baby Clippies and Rock a Billy Roses?"

Peace of Doves Treasury features my Dove White fabric flower brooch alongside other peaceful treasures!

And now, a peek at Stella Pearl's treasures:

This Rockabilly and Pinup Scarlett flower bow is so popular, it is featured in 2 treasuries!

How enchanting is this Lulu Anoon fascinator!

Etsy Flag, a Treasury by Jennifer Dickerson Photography

>> Sunday, June 27

Treasury: Etsy Flag

Curator: chefjen137
Featured: My Slate Gray Fabric Flower Brooch

Jennifer's photographs capture ordinary images and catapult them to extraordinary.

This aqua blue door reminds me of St. Augustine, FL, the oldest city in the USA. St. Augustine is about a 45 mile drive south from where I live. Downtown boasts of quaint shops, tourist attractions, the centuries old fort and sometimes ramshackle buildings and structures that have survived the test of time.

A vintage fork tarnished and much used, the intricacies of its design highlighted in this photograph.

A rustic nail, lonely on a plank of wood in the moonlight. An image so peaceful and striking, this picture made it to the front page of Etsy.

For more of Jennifer's photography, please visit her Etsy store!

Why I love the Web

>> Wednesday, June 23

A few weeks ago, I was thinking of ways to get more local exposure for my Etsy shop.
I came across a wedding website where I can post my products to be seen locally here in the Jacksonville, FL area and all over the web.
And now, one of my necklaces is featured in the Wedding Wire blog!
Such a pleasure!

This is why I love the web!

A BEST Team Feature::Conduit Press::

It seems like everyone, young or old, male or female, has a love relationship with notebooks.
In my 13 year old son's treasure box is a special notebook with a metal sheet cover where he draws and writes down his thoughts.
My younger son had always collected notebooks from Sponge Bob to note pads and more recently steno pads.
You will find my husband inseparable from his yellow pad and clipboard, his real world version of an excel spreadsheet where he drafts all his spread sheets.
And me, I have my special travel notebook, my baby books, my jewelry notebook, my diary.
We all seem to want to record our thoughts and ideas, our drawings, our dreams.
What a pleasure it is to get a new notebook with an interesting cover! The crisp new pages within promise to hold our deepest thoughts and ideas!
Etsy seller Talia of Conduit Press handmade and vintage books, journals, albums and cards!
You can imagine the delight I had in perusing this wondrous shop!

Below is a selection of what Conduit Press has to offer and don't forget to visit Talia's shop to pick your own new notebook or journal!

Click on each item to take you to the Etsy page:
