And the Winners are.....????

Well, I was a few days late picking the winners for my blog contest but I finally got on the ball today! I threw all the names into a hat as promised- yes it's a ball cap not a pointy witchy hat!

It's part of my 'normal' disguise so when I go out in public, no one knows a Witch is in their midst haha. Anyway, I decided to pull two names out and they are:

Petoskystone

Dark Squirrel Victoria

Ok you two, get back to me with your addresses so I can send out the goodies! To say thank you to all who commented, I'm offering a one time 15% discount on your total order (even the winners from the hat can use this) in my Etsy shop! Just use the promo code ArtWitch1. This is ONLY for people who entered the contest by commenting on my blog. I really appreciate what you had to say and came up with a few ideas for future witch crafting.

THANK YOU !!!

My Etsy treasury picks for handmade gothic, metaphysical, and odd things!

I love making treasuries and favoriting (hearting) items on Etsy. I also took the handmade pledge and try to buy artisan items as gifts and for myself when I go shopping. Etsy has been a great resource for my wardrobe, friendship, business tips, and artistic creativity.

My miniatures, jewelry, and magickal crafts have in turn been featured in these treasuries by other Etsy members.

Etsy Treasuries R So Much Easier Now !!!

What is an Etsy Treasury?
Treasuries are Etsy's ever-changing, member-curated shopping galleries. Members can create collections of items they love based on any theme! Etsians may comment on collections, share them on various sites, and definitely shop them! Treasury East collections have no limits and no expiration dates. Visually interesting and well coordinatd collections may be featured on Etsy's home page too!

The old treasury system was aweful!
OMG the old way of handling treasuries on Etsy just sucked. It was very competitive with a set number allowed (like 300 or something ridiculous for thousands of users). You'd have to wait around to see if you could snag one and I never had any luck because my computer ran a bit slow. Some people were just hounds for treasuries and sniffing them out all the time! Plus, the treasuries were up for only a limited amount of time, a few days I think in some cases. I gave up.
They've since revamped the treasury system!!!
As many treasuries you want to make, available all the time to any member, and they stay up indefinitely ;) I decided to curate specifically themed galleries, rotating new items in as items sell. Presenting my favorite Divination goods, fun Zombie stuff, and Day of the Dead all year long! Check these treasury links often for updates!
