Gray - A Refreshed Look #03

It's not always black and white. Sometimes, it just gray and it can be beautiful.
I chose gray for an Etsy treasury on June 1, 2011 because I believe its such a lovely color.
Or is it a "non-color"? Here is the original treasury - missing a few as happens over time.

And here is the newest treasury, inspired by this one and the color gray. Enjoy!

Oh, So Fabulous Teams - A Refreshed Look #02

For my 2nd treasury on Etsy, I celebrated sellers in the Etsy teams that I belonged to.
It was originally posted on May 26, 2011, but has since emptied of its photos.
This is what is left . . .

Unfortunately, I don't recall what teams were used. That's why one should list them.
(That's a note to self - wink.)

To refresh it, I chose four that I enjoy participating in:

Are you involved in any teams? Share them in the comments or - better yet - create an Etsy treasury.
It's a fun way to discover new shops and promote your fellow artists and crafters.

And if you aren't a part of a team, join one or simply visit its members.

My Day - A Refreshed Look #01

On January 25, 2010, I curated my first treasury on Etsy.
It was a day in my life shown in pictures of handmade or vintage items.

This is all that remains of it today.

My Day by Corrinne Quinn

Treasuries end up this way over time. Shops no longer sell the items or shops have closed.
I was inspired to do another one. A little journey back into time along with looking at my life today.

My Day - Refresh #01 by Corrinne Quinn

First things first, coffee. My day always starts with a fresh, hot cup of coffee.
I use whatever coffee is cheap. Nothing fancy. The fancy is the natural cane sugar & almond milk.
And I rarely drink tea, but my partner does. Every night. That's good of him.

Share this image if you'd like - No editing, though.
After that, it's Pin & Tack's work time. Any orders? Print. Messages answered.
Links, photos and other stuff shared on Facebook, Google +, & Twitter.

Now, it's time to go to work. Yep. I have a full-time job outside of the shop.
In simplest terms, it goes like this: Work. Break. Work. Lunch. Work. Break. Work. Freedom!
And let's be fair. Throw in some chatting with co-workers. They are great people after all.

When I get home, it's more Pin & Tack work time.
Painting clothespins, creating thumbtacks, setting up social media & blog post.

The day ends with dinner, TV, shower and bed. Sleep, then it starts again.
Share your own day in however fashion you'd like. If it's a blog post, don't forget to leave the link, too!

Appreciate Being Treasured

It's always lovely to see Pin & Tack's handmade delights featured in a treasury.
If you're not familiar with Etsy's treasuries, you are missing out.

They are a collection of curated listings by members, buyers and sellers alike.
They are what you will see on the front page - Prime real estate!

Tea Rose & Chocolate Distressed Mini Clothespins have been featured in 785 treasuries to date.
They've also made it to the front page, which is totally awesome,  my friends.

Over 2K favorites on Etsy! Wowie, that's a lot of love :)

Many Pin & Tack creations have been included among other handmade products.
And here is selection for you to enjoy with my own favorite from it . . .

White On White On White & So On & So Forth

A collection of handmade things inspired by the color white.

Title: White Is Not A Mere Absence Of Colour

"White . . . is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing . . ."
- G.K. Chesterton

I've included a sampling here, but you can discover all at the treasury.
