Treasury

Listening to "A Big Jetplane" by Angus & Julia Stone

I've been on Etsy for almost 1 year now (tomorrow is my official anniversary) and I'm just starting to experiment with some of their cool features. Take their Treasury for instance. If you're familiar with this then you know what I'm talking about. The feature allows you to share 16 different items from separate shops (usually with a central theme) that you like. You then publish the items with a Title and Description and allow other etsians to view them.

In following this topic, I dove into this feature and made my first Etsy Treasury. I based it on two huge inspirations in my life- my husband and his music. Tim, my hubby, is a casual musician. We have a makeshift music studio for him in our guest bedroom and when he "feels like playing" he goes in there and experiments with his "craft". When he shuts that door, I close my eyes and I see that scene from Frankenstein, "It's Alive!". Okay, I know he's not re-animating dead body parts but I know firsthand he is putting what he envisions into his music. He doesn't realize how much his support means to me and I just want him to know this again and again... and again... you get it.

Anyway, I am excited that I was able to tinker with this feature and create something I can share with you. It's nothing fancy but I hope you find the various items I found as creative as I did.

Playlist

I'm looking for a new camera.. shopped at a few antique stores today for some new kitchen accessories. Bingo. Got home, decided to cram my iPod with new music and I figure I'd share my top 10 played songs with you guys. Take it or leave it but these songs get me through the day. :)

1. Ladyhawke- My Delerium (serious fist pumping)
2. Florence and the Machine- Dog Days are Over (hand clapping beat)
3. Grand National- Drink to Moving On
4. The Blakes- Don't Bother Me
5. Iron & Wine- Flightless Bird
6. Liam Finn- Second Chance
7. Sea Wolf- You're A Wolf
8. Delta Spirit- Trashcan
9. Greg Laswell- And Then You
10. Thirteen Senses- I Know

These songs are the shizzle :)
