Feeling the love

I noticed this morning a sudden jump in the number of hearts my shop and many items had received and was happily surprised to find that my black seed pod earrings had been on the front page of Etsy overnight.

The front page treasury was curated by Michelle of michvanetta, another lovely Melbourne Jeweller.



Also this morning I have pieces in two new treasuries.

My new Rockpool Pendant is in 'Baking Hot Sand' by fionachapman



And my new Cyclops Ring is in 'Burnt Creamsilcle' by cooljewelrydesign

Treasure Hunt

Today I have been very productive, I have nothing to show for it right now but hopefully I will have a few new pieces to show you by the end of the long weekend.

In the meantime I have been lucky enough to find my work in another five treasuries, I love seeing all the different and interssting themes. The selection of items is so diverse.

Treasure trove

I just logged on to etsy to list my latest creation and found a convo saying that the treasury I curated the other night had been on the front page - woo hoo!

I have curated about 5 or 6 treasuries but this was the first to ever make it to the front page 'One day I'll fly away':

On the front page

I got a fabulous surprise this evening when I checked my email. I had a convo saying:

A quick check of heart-o-matic confirmed I had been getting a lot of love and views and I managed to find the front page in flikr


The front page was from a treasury created by Carley from VanillaPixie called "Plain is never boring", thanks Carley!
