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 !!!

Contest celebrating new creations and official business status!

I’ve been very busy crafting new oils, herbal blends, and jewelry and would love some feedback on these. I’ve also recently just become an ‘official’ business in the eyes of the state and government! I am simply 'Cauldron Craft Oddities' now. Whoo-hoo… big step. And with a large vending adventure on the horizon (more about that in another post).  So, what I plan to do in celebration of all this newness is send a large grab bag of samples, fashion accessories, and an exclusive Cauldron Craft oil to one lucky winner.

All you have to do is become a follower of my blog here (if you aren’t already) and tell me what type of items you’d like to see in my shop in the future. Then for your prize, let me know if you prefer Gothic Steampunk or Day of the Dead themed items (or both, I can mix it up).

I will put everyone’s name in the hat and draw out the winner on May 24th! Thanx to all who take part ;)

New herbal blends to use as incense, spellwork, bath soaks, and candle or soap crafting.

New exclusive perfume and anointing oils that are vegan, organic, and crafted from only premium essential oils, resins, and spices.  No artificial additives or fragrances.

Shloads of new jewelry including muerto earrings, steampunk magick keys, creepy potion bottle necklaces, and much more!

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!
