Lost In the Crowd BNR

Since the Lost in the Crowd Team has flooded Etsy with treasuries, the next step is a Buy and Replace treasury! You pick a featured shop, purchase ANY item from that shop, and then you pick one of your items to be featured in the spot taken by the shop from whom you made a purchase. Let's hope some of these new shops get the attention they deserve!



If you wanted to purchase from PasqueFlower, I regret to inform you that you are too late. I've had my eye on those butterfly knot dresses for awhile! I told my daughter it was going to be her new special princess dress for when she's all potty trained. She's so excited! Check out her dresses though; they are so cute!

Thanks to SmiLe aGain Creations for hosting this BNR. My Flower Magnets and Owl Labels are featured, yay!

Lost In the Crowd Keeps 'Em Coming!

Yay for one of the hardest working etsy teams ever! Here are two more lovely treasuries featuring some of the undiscovered shops on etsy:



Special thanks to KoJoZo for featuring my Starburst Gift Set!



Thanks to artsyEVE for featuring my Baby Owl Magnet Set!

Bargain Bin Sale!

Since I've been discussing all of the great teams on Etsy, I thought that I would also introduce the Bargain Bin Team. As often as possible we get together and discount various items by 30-50% and promote together. Here's a team treasury listing our most recent promotion. Great items on sale, great team to follow to find great discounts!
