We're busy watching the 2008 Olympics on TV, so it's no surprise that I had Gold, Silver, and Bronze on my mind when I snagged a Treasury West on Etsy yesterday. I decided to fill this one with the medal colors and with some red, white, and blue. What better place to find such things of beauty than in the shops of my fellow Bead Art Originals and Etsy BeadWeavers members. It'll be "live" until the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday, so please visit and check out some of these fabulous artists! You can click the picture to be taken to the treasury.



The Etsy BeadWeavers monthly challenge entries are all posted, and everyone is invited to go to the blog to vote for a favorite. This month's theme was Art Deco, and the entries are absolutely gorgeous. There's a mosaic which shows them all, but be sure to check the links underneath the mosaic so you can get a closer look at them. You won't believe your eyes.

Etsy Friday. I'm not really sure how it got started, but there are lots of Etsy sellers (and buyers) who do something special on Fridays. I'm not one of those people who can commit to having something special every Friday, but I thought for this week I'd offer up some thanks to a few people.

These nice Etsy people featured some of my creations in their treasuries. I love going through the Treasury and Treasury West and finding that little gold star!

Check out the slideshow I put together with a favorite item from each of these shops. Click the names to see the item up close and have a visit to the shop.

Seriously! As I was going through all these shops I found some INCREDIBLE bargains!!!

Blog-about is fair play. Right?

Yesterday I snagged another Treasury West on Etsy, and I featured some fun color combinations. One of the things I chose to include was a fun little Summer Colors ring by CatherinetteRings, and she already located that gold star that told her she had something in the treasury and blogged about my collection! Yay!

Here's the What colors do YOU like together treasury, so you can see just what a fun collection I assembled.

It's always fun to find something of mine in an Etsy Treasury, and Carol Dean (SandFibers) put my Passion for Purple beadwoven necklace in one just a couple of days ago (that's it in the lower left corner).

The single-color treasury is always fun to assemble, so today when I happened to snag one in Treasury West, I decided to go with BLUE. Not because of a mood, mind you, but because I just love the color blue. I just created this blue treasury, so there's still time for you to go check it out in person!

Go Etsy! :-)
