Dropped # of Treasuries

[Former_Member]

Hey guys!
I know building treasuries is time-consuming, especially when you're building actual things to sell on Etsy. So I've dropped the number of treasuries to a more realistic "5 per month," hoping that this will encourage everybody to build something -- even if it's a couple a month.

So let's get some treasuries out there featuring teammate items. It's great promotion for us all. I know whenever I'm featured in a treasury, it brings more traffic to my shop.

Thanks!
Tom

Agreed! I am going to make it my goal to build at least one per week featuring artists in this group!

Hi Tom! I know that I've been MIA for a couple weeks and I wanted to let you know that I will be back in action on Monday. I've been preparing for my first big craft fair (this Sunday) and been super busy churning out jewelry for it. I promise to build new treasuries soon. Thanks for your patience.

I know what you mean. I've been running around as well, preparing for a craft fair I have this Sunday (the 24th). Those things are a lot of work!

Definitely burning that proverbial candle... but I was editing my whimsy treasury because a couple of items dropped out-- does that happen when items get sold? They all seem to have an empty space after a few days!

Anyway, here it is, improved:

Yeah, a lot of my treasuries have holes in them as well. This happens when an item is sold or removed from a shop. I don't bother going back to fill in the gaps.

I try to go back every so often , and replace items, just in case it's marked a favorite by someone later, then more items get a chance to sell.... but it takes time to do this, and I will slowly stop doing it, as my number of treasuries grow, I'm sure. I love the idea of only having to do a few, to aim for five a month. With this new update, I was so happy, I sent out 20 invitations to some of the shops that I love, who have upcycled/repurposed/found artwork. I believe many will find the 5 easier to do than 10.

Great! Thanks for spreading the word.

Hello Tom,

What is our treasury theme for August? I would love to get started.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it, too... (and it's my b- day month).
