Etsy Treasury Contest!

I want to give a prize out, because prizes are awesome, but I'm going to make you work for it!! The prize will be the bracelet, by me, below. If at least 25 people enter, I will add another prize. If I am totally blown away by the entries, I may choose to allow the winner to select an item from my Etsy shop instead.



To enter, create a treasury on Etsy featuring an item from my Etsy shop. You must create a treasury with an item from my shop to enter, but you can get a bonus entry by blogging about this contest. Also, you can make up to 5 treasuries with my items, receiving one entry per treasury. Be sure to follow Etsy's treasury guidelines, such as tagging appropriately, using no more than one item from any shop (including mine!) and not including your own items.

I will be choosing what I consider to be the best treasury as the winner! I tend to like treasuries with clever selections, subtle themes and high quality photographs. If I am having trouble deciding on a winner, I may look at how many views and clicks the treasuries have received.

Comment ONCE here to enter, and include the following:

1. How to contact you (email address)
2. Link to the treasury (or treasuries) featuring my item
3. Link to your blog post, if applicable

Good luck!! If you have any questions about the rules, please ask me!! The deadline for this contest is March 31, 2011.

Mardi Gras Treasury

I made a new line of Mardi Gras jewelry! I planned ahead, got beads, made stuff, and even tried some new photographic techniques with it. It's really paying off so far, and Mardi Gras is still a month and a half away! I sold one bracelet, gave away a few others (business sense fail) and have beads to make some more if I have time.

So far my Mardi Gras jewelry has been in 3 treasuries!! That's so awesome! They are:

Throw Somethin' to me by AboutaBoyandGirl
Mardi Gras Magic in the Big Easy by HerbnDevelopment and;
Mardi Gras by LillyandLilly

Yay Mardi Gras!

Cool Etsy Shop: TonyaUtkina

I absolutely love the items sold in TonyaUtkina's jewelry, which is creative and cute, but the shop really stands out because of the photography! TonyaUtkina has some of the best product photos on Etsy that I have seen... Really great use of props that add to rather than distract from the items being sold. Here are some of my favorites:

Pretty green things treasury

I am trying harder to make my treasuries nice. It would be super awesome to get one on the front page someday, so I am trying to get lots of practice! What do you think of my latest attempt? The full treasury is right here, and below are some of my favorite things I found while compiling it.

Danglie Earrings!

I wish I knew what to call this type of earrings to better search for them. So pretty!

Awesome Etsy Jewelry: JewelryByTomomi

JewelryByTomomi.etsy.com has some seriously amazing jewelry pieces in her shop. I have recently decided I need to stop buying pearl jewelry because of the inherent cruelty in the production process and gems such as those in many of Tomomi's pieces make an ideal substitute! Here are some of my favorites:
