The Etsy Treasury

Something that has become sort of a hobby of mine is creating Etsy treasuries.  If you're not familiar with etsy.com, it's a website full of countless "shops" that sell only handmade and vintage goods and supplies.  I, myself have a vintage shop on the site called Gone The Sun.  On the front page of the Etsy site you will see a treasury of items that have been compiled for front page display.  The front page treasury rotates frequently and it's a creative way to introduce products and sellers.  For me it's also a fun way to find cool stuff and display them in a pretty way for anyone to see.  It's always flattering to have one of my own items featured in someone else's as well.

Below is my most recent treasury.  I love succulents and this treasury was inspired by the awesome succulent wreath shown below.  I've never seen anything like it, it's so pretty and it's living.  You actually have to take it down and water it occasionally.

Anyway, here is the first of many treasuries to be posted here.  Every one of the items is for purchase if something should catch your eye.

Listing Listing Listing

... gotta do some listing.

I've had an etsy vintage shop since 2009.  It's been a fun way to turn a hobby into profit.  It gives me an excuse to scourer the thrift shops for fun finds and give me some extra cash in the process. 

Here's my POV at the moment.  



Camera waiting to upload pics, items for sale.  Lots of goodies I've been sitting on for awhile because really, it's more fun to find the goods than it is to take pictures of them and my husband would be so happy that I decided to stay home and list what I have rather than what I had planned to do today, which was go out and add more to my stash.

  I've fallen a little behind lately on the listings too so I guess I need to get on it.  

Any minute now.

Eh, maybe later.
