Motivation TEMPTation Treasuries March 13,2016 - March 19,2016

I have mentioned before, that I am a leader for TEMPT Team on Etsy.  This is a great group of people who work hard to promote each other.  One of my favorite games, is Motivation TEMPTation.  Each week, the winning shop from the previous week chooses an item from their shop to be the "Motivation" item for the next week.  Team members then create collections, or treasuries featuring that item.  At the end of the week, the previous week's winner has to choose the winning treasury.

Last week, the featured item was a really neat vintage pipe from More The Buckles.  They chose my treasury, "Rustic / Wood Finds" as the winner.  So since St. Patrick's Day is Thursday, I chose this pair of wooden earrings.  They are made from recycled wood, and I love the glittery emerald paint.

And the winner is.....

It was a really tough choice!  Thank you to everyone who made a motivation treasury for us!!

See you tomorrow for How to Wear it Wednesday!

Not sure if you are ready for a full on commitment to the whole ugly Christmas sweater trend? This cute shirt from The BeDazzled Elf  is festive with out being over the top.



Crochet Mug Sleeve from Nandy's Nook

Nandy's Nook always has a great selection of mug sleeves and coffee cup cozies.  This rustic mug sleeve is no exception!

I love the neutral shades of beige and barley in this handmade hat from Loopy Chic Crochet. It will go with everything!


Leopard Studded Converse Shoes from Free Street Shop

While these customized Converse sneakers are made to order, they should be well worth the wait.  Get them at Free Street Shop.

How to Wear it Wednesday 9.02.2015



Oh wow, it is already September!  This week, I have another fun fall outfit for you...

Recycled Wood Heart Earrings from Feath & Kee



The inspiration item from our shop is this pair of earrings.  They are made from wood recycled in our shop.  The only finish that has been added to them is linseed oil.  So they are very natural and eco-friendly.






Fox Dress from Knickerocker






So cute!  Love this dress from Knickerocker!  This is a t-shirt style dress, and it has pockets.  So in addition to adorable, it is also comfortable.










Custom Handmade Leggings from Woollywhoknots






I can't even begin to imagine how soft these leggings from Woollywhoknots are.  They are made from Alpaca fiber, but you can also request organic merino wool too.










Tourmaline Necklace from Little Bit Crazy




This delicate necklace from Little Bit Crazy is made from tourmaline stones and silver chain.









Fox Tote from Narais






In keeping with my fox theme, this fox tote bag from Narais is just the size to carry your essentials for the day.

Handmade Ballet Flats from The Drifter Leather




I really like the no-fuss design of these leather ballet flats from The Drifter Leather.  They are custom fitted, and you have the option of a vibram sole with piping, or a leather and vibram sole.







I hope everyone is enjoying these last warm days of Summer!  See you next week!
