Look - it's the Etsy Bloggers Team!

I couldn't decide on a good theme for today - so I decided to just show you the 5 most recently listed items!  And they rock so I think it was a good choice - and I bet you'll agree with me :)  And remember - to search for more items from this rocking team just search for "etsybloggers team"!

Jewerly Series - Woven Rings

Did you say "Series" in your blog post today Ruthie? Why yes, yes I did :) I'm going to be doing a series that may take a VERY long time to work through. Simply put, I love jewelry.  Not only do I love the creation of jewelry, I love looking at what other people create! So I'm going to do a series on jewelry, starting with rings, and look at the many, many different styles that can be found on etsy :) Don't worry, I'll still be doing my Saturday looks at Team BDC and Monday's focus on Etsy Bloggers, and you might see some other random treasuries thrown in as I'm inspired, but other than that there's going to be a lot of jewelry coming your way!

Today's focus on Rings is on the woven rings :) This is something I'd like to add to my repetoire at some point, but I don't have the right supplies and such right now and I'm guessing it'll be awhile before I find the money/time/inspiration all in the same place to start expanding into that realm :)

Team BDC in Black and Orange :)

I was in a Halloweeny mood this morning, but they don't have a ton of Halloween stuff in team bdc! So I got devious and searched for black and orange and this is what I found :)

Needle Felting

As I browse around etsy, one thing that has caught my eye again and again are these awesome needle felted pieces! I can even imagine the amount of work and talent that goes into them! I think my fingers would be stained red from pricking myself if I ever tried this art form...

Another Edition of....

My on-going BNR! We've had 9 sales so far! It's a ton of fun :) I love the thrill I get when I see one of my friends get a sale :) Or even when someone I don't know has bought in and gotten a sale! It's fantastic!

Don't know what a BNR is? BNR stands for Buy and Replace. You check out one of the lovely shops in the treasury below, buy an item from their shop, and an item from your shop replaces them in the treasury! I keep track of who's currently in the treasury and carry it over to the next one I'm able to snag! I change the theme a little for each new edition to help increase exposure and promote YOUR shops!

I also try to promote the BNR as much as I can in the etsy forums to help increase sales :) Here's a snapshot of the current BNR - click on it to go to the treasury while it's still open!

Fruity

I was feeling uninspired when I started looking into doing today's treasury.  Me? Uninspired? Ridiculous! Then I looked down at the grapes I was eating and thought "Fruit!" Each of these lovely pieces is fruit related in someway - enjoy! And eat your fruit!

Fantasy

There's no denying it - I'm a fantasy buff!  I love to read, watch, and dream in the fantasy realm.  I'm also a sci-fi buff, but that's a different topic for a different day :)  So in honor of my love of all things fantasy related - here's a few fantastic finds ;)
