Lovely Clusters catalog

One of the blogs I love to follow is called Lovely Clusters, a place of neverending inspiration, beautiful colours and textures. Each year Rachel from Lovely Clusters publishes two catalogs, carefully selecting and matching lovely items into colour themes.

In the new Lovely Clusters Fall/Winter 2011/12 catalog my zippered pouch got featured in Harvest Orange section - thank you, Rachel!

Just leave the new catalogue out for Santa and you won't be dissapointed this Christmas...

This week's features

This week went by so fast that I forgot to show you the lovely treasuries my items got featured in.

Here is a collection of four treasuries, three of them featuring my decorative heart (which means I chose my new shop avatar well...).

Thank you so much, filofashion, JarosDesigns, baahar and one9designs!

In the pink

The last week of the year began with a nice surprise from Melissa, curator of The Speckled Pear, who has again included me in one of her delicious Etsy shop features.

This time the theme was pale pink and all the pretty items together look like a window display of a favourite shop.

What can I say - girls love pink! You might not wear it every day or decorate your home with it but I'm sure there is a box somewhere in your bedroom in which you might keep a pretty pink ribbon from your childhood doll, a pencil with a pink strawberry scented rubber or a tiny little notebook with pink striped pages that you saved in case there was something realy special worth writing in...

A double Etsy feature

Wow, Etsy admin just made my day - they have featured my Love Hope Peace tote in their gift guides under Fresh Emerging Shops and moments ago the tote also appeared on the Front page, again picked out by the Etsy staff. This is the second time Etsy has chosen that bag for the front page... Two features in one day, what an honour - thank you!

A feature in a ByHand spotlight

Today my Open your heart decorative ornament was featured on ByHand - a social community web page for handmade artists and buyers.

Glenda, one of the members, has included my heart in her ByHand spotlight. This is a member curated selection much like Etsy Treasury list, except that Spotlight doesn't expire but gets lots of views and tweets, also with the help of some blogs that feature ByHand spotlights - like ByHand Gallery and Shop ByHand.

A very interesting source of lovely handmade items and an efficent way of presenting one's work to broader audience, definitely worth joining!

Thank you, Glenda!

A strawberry chocolate feature

My Chocolate love decorative heart has been featured by Melissa on her The Speckled Pear blog amongst all these yummy brown and pink items - makes me want to grab a piece of strawberry chocolate and a glass of milk...

Thank you, Melissa!

Sunday treasury feature

This morning one of my hearts, the Winter romance, got featured in this lovely In the Mint'ime Treasury West by JemmDeeCreations. Mirna, who owns a jewelry shop on Esy, made this stunning minty fresh collection of items in lovely frosty shades of pale blue. Thank you!

And this evening my Cool, Calm and Collected treasury made the Front Page! I noticed it by accident when I checked my sellection and saw some FP related comments underneath - waiting in my Etsy conversations box were some encouraging convos as well so thank you everyone for liking it so much!

A feature on Artsypreneur blog

My It's a girl heart has been featured today on the Artsypreneur blog by the lovely Madge, who also runs a shop pixiedustprinkles on Etsy. Her blog is full of inspirational finds and I'm honoured she picked a Loddelina item to feature. Thank you!
