Featured in Etsy Treasury already


Was listing a few more jewellery items on Etsy for the second time the other night, bringing my inventory up to around 7 (I’m sure I’ll get faster at listing with practice), so was pleasantly surprised yesterday morning when I read my emails to find one from an Etsy member who informed me that one of my items had been chosen to be featured in her Treasury! I took this as a good omen for my new venture , but being a newbie I needed to find out what exactly a Treasury was. This is what it says about it on Etsy:


Have you ever wanted to pick the Etsy.com home page items? Do you have the desire to choose and feature only 12 items from the list of thousands currently available for sale on Etsy? The following is some info to help you on your way...if you're diligent and lucky enough to snag a spot on the Treasury (it's in high demand!).

The Treasury is a member-curated gallery of short-lived lists of 12 hand-picked items each (plus four alternates). It functions as a high-demand (and pretty!) promotional tool that many devoted Etsians fight to get. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme, or just however they like. The Treasury is not intended for self-promotion, but instead to acknowledge and share the many cool things for sale on Etsy.


So, my shop is cool already! :-)

I feel quite honoured to have been included in someone’s Treasury on only day 2 of listing some items for sale, and I’m sure my Karnak earrings are now destined for fame and fortune !! (especially if this Treasury is ever picked for the Etsy home page). I've since reduced the price of all my Venetian glass earrings from $20 to $17.00 (£11.95) as a special introductory offer until the end of March.


Karnak earrings
Cobalt blue Venetian glass bead filled with silver, topped with real gold filled yellow glass foil bead, with a clear AB crystal bead on top for extra sparkle. Tiny copper coated smooth crystal bead at base. Supplied with silver ear wires.


The blue is quite vivid (I've not touched the colour in the photo) and they have an inner glow due to the real silver inside the bead.
