I haven't had the time to sit down and share a treasury in a long time and thought it was long overdue!  Especially since my Green Amethyst and Tunduru Sapphire Necklace was featured in such a beautiful collection!  The rainbow hues in this treasury are just so colorful, they just make me smile.  Curated by Tatiana Hisel, owner of the Etsy shop TatkaJewelry, her treasury "Colors of Summer" is spilling over with the most vibrantly hued gemstones you can imagine! Be sure to check out her treasury on Etsy to view each piece in more detail.  Also, while you're there,...

OK, so you know I love those convos on Etsy alerting me that someone has chosen one of my items for their treasury!  Always so flattering to be included in someone's collection...Just yesterday evening, I received another from Murat &Yusuf (muratyusuf is their ID on Etsy).  This one has a square theme, highlighting gift giving ideas  for Valentine's Day.  Having contemporary taste, the aesthetics of the repeated squares really appealed to me!JuneDesigns cube ring is just sooo cool and funky (and really appeals to my love of geometric shapes and metals).  Michelle Chang Jewelry's tiny silver cube earrings are a...

A tribute to my "Home Sweet Home" in the form of a Texas-themed treasury by new Etsy shop owner, Megan of Salvaged Space.  Also a Texas girl, Megan has curated this fabulous collection of items from Etsy sellers across the Lone Star State entitled Texas Love.I am seriously disappointed that someone snatched up the vintage Salvatore Ferragamo riding boots in Lone Mountain Phoenix's shop!  Yes...they were my size.  SIGH!  I'm also loving FifiDuvie's print "Oh Darling, Let's Be Adventurers."Donna Walker's original oil painting Goats Do Roam seems to depict a landscape "home, home on the range," near the Dallas/Fort Worth...
