★ ETSY FRIDAY ★

If you are new to Etsy you may not know about the Treasury pages.

This is where members and sellers promote little collections of goods they like, linked either by colour, theme or genre.  It is a really good way to get noticed on etsy, which has over 300000 shops.  So if someone puts one of your items in their treasury make sure you thank them.

Here are some of my favourite recent treasuries...

Granny Chic

Have treated myself to "Granny chic" from dottie angel and Ted and Agnes.  It is full of crafty recipes and inspiration for the handmade home.  I think I must be a bit of a Granny as this has to be my favourite book EVER!








Full of gorgeous imagery from the Homes of Tif Fussel (Dottie Angel) and Rachelle Blondel (Ted & Agnes).  Both women share a mutual love of handcrafted and secondhand. There are plenty of lovely handmade tutorials in here and also lots of interiors inspirations from their homes, workspaces and caravans!
