New Year, Fresh Start

After a good cleaning of my work space, I feel motivated and ready to work! Sometimes that is all it takes for a fresh start.

And I have been featured in a few new Etsy treasuries. The first is a great guy gift treasury by etsy shopper frmess called "a gift for him..." Frness does not have an etsy shop but they put together a nice treasury selection, have a look. My item featured is the 1920's red coupe aluminum diecast wall hanging.

This next Etsy treasury is curated by Heathernwells, titled "New Years Resolution" and it is full of delicious looking food that is good for you. Including my featured gourmet garden salad. Hard to believe its not real and only miniature.

Still not ready to give up your sweets? Then Have a look at Heathernwells etsy shop where you can smother yourself in sweet and savory trinkets like a pancake ring and bacon and egg earrings.

This most recent treasury curated by AngelicaV, captures some really unique and colorful pieces in the treasury titled "Moonlit Mardi Gras." Her eye for color is evident. Just look at the hand dyed fabrics she makes in her etsy shop, AngelicaV.

She features my miniature Mardi Gras king cake pin in this Team Discovery Challange Treasury featuring mostly undiscovered shop on Etsy.com
