Etsy has a Treasury Challenge NonTeam that has a challenge beginning each Thursday at noon running through Sunday noon for treasuries to be created around one chosen item.  Read more details about the nonteam challenge and participating if you have an Etsy shop:  http://treasurychallengenonteam.blogspot.com/

 
I loved the turquoise blue glass beads of this weeks featured item  with the gold swallow (top right corner item) which leant itself to choosing lovely bird and woodland items with a couple bunnies snuck in too!

Another Treasury … Nesting

Since I think in images, I have created a couple lovely treasuries today.  Switching to pictures is the most natural thing for me to do when I find my energy level lagging a bit.  It is like dropping back into my native language.  Enjoy!

Under an Orange Moon:

I was inspired by the lovely moon Raku fired art tile by Davis-Vachon Gallery, a member of the Etsy Rabbits team.  Half of the items in this treasury were created by members of the Etsy Rabbits team.  Enjoy!

Celebrate International Carrot Day

International Carrot Day Treasury on Etsy

Seriously, as rabbit lovers,  this was irresistible.   Twitter users started sharing the link over the weekend for International Carrot Day, April 4th. Logically, an Etsy treasury devoted to carrots had to follow, with a few carrot loving rabbits too.

Here’s a carrot fact from Bugs Bunny cartoon history. The voice of Bugs, Mel Blanc, hated carrots. They tried all kinds of fruits and vegetables to see if biting in and crunching something else could sound like a carrot. Nothing but a carrot sounded like a carrot. So Mel would bite in and crunch on the carrots and then spit them out.

Sorry Mel, but for us it is time to pause and get our paws on some lovely carrots!

April Fool’s Day Fun and Silliness

At Rabbittude, we are always up for a good laugh year round, so we would wish for more than one day dedicated to silliness, laughter and fun.  Ah, well, that is why we have bunnies to keep us going with foolishness in between.  We will make do with the day we have to be our completely quirky, wacky selves today.

Here is a treasury I created of wonderful lighthearted fun things made by Etsy artisans:  Silly Rabbit’s & Friends for April Fool’s Day.

Great Blog Post Alert!  The Rabbittude Get Off My Tail bumper sticker has been included in this wonderful Feature Friday blog by Frostings sharing humorous Etsy items for April Fool’s Day: http://tncakes.blogspot.com/2011/04/feature-friday-april-fools-day.html.  It is wonderful to be included here, but I am not posting it here just to brag (okay, bragging just a little bit).  I think this is a great list of Etsy items, they all made me laugh and smile.  I am really partial to the take off on Keep Calm and Carry On created by Sad Little Crown, Fling Yourself on the Bed and Cry Uncontrollably.  It reminds me so much of Despair.com’s parody of beautiful photo art motivational training posters.  Sometimes the motivational stuff just really doesn’t do it and you have to let it all out and then move on.  ~Rebecca Pullin

It was a blast this morning participating in a treasury blitz for the Georgia Etsy team.  Our goal was to increase the visibility of Georgia Etsy team shops, all based in Georgia USA. We had a number of team members creating treasuries, clicking and commenting on the treasuries and promoting them on their other teams and social networks. It was a flurry of treasury activity between 7 and 10 am this morning.

Around noon, more than a dozen of the treasuries had made it to the top ten pages of the Etsy Treasury.  That is so wonderful to see when there are currently over 24,000 treasuries. We are celebrating that all three of the Rabbittude treasuries made it to page seven or above, with the Nature Walk Finds making it to page two!  Georgia Etsy Team Caption Mod MomMe  had all three of her treasuries make it to page one: Honey and Chocolate, Simply Seafoam, She Is Beautiful.  Awesome! We are honored that our new butter yellow freshwater pearl bunny rabbit bracelet was featured in the Honey and Chocolate treasury.

This was a golden opportunity to meet some new Georgia friends online and help to promote each other.  I hope this will be an activity that we can continue in the future and bring more views and sales to all the wonderful artisans on the team. 

Due to the Georgia Blitz and the start of spring, Rabbittude has been included in a baker’s dozen of treasuries during the past day,  the Honey and Chocolate listed above and these other lovely treasuries:

We are honored to have been included. Click on them and enjoy not only Rabbittude, but all the other wonderful Etsy artisans this spring.

Today was a relaxing Sunday with the time to do some window shopping on Etsy and create a treasury of items in lovely pinks and greens.  Everyone is waiting for springtime and the beautiful blooms it will bring. These lovely handmade items preview what is soon to come in nature.

The soft pink Spring Rose Rabbit is a favorite of ours!

Tomorrow we will be hopping from 7 to 10 am with an Etsy treasury blitz to raise visibility for shops based in Georgia, USA that are members of the Georgia Etsy team.   We will share some of our treasuries and links to others for anyone looking for handmade southern style.

And So I Said and Then She Said ...

Earlier this month, I created a trio of treasuries featuring lots of members of the Etsy Createability Team as part of a treasury blitz weekend to increase visibility for team members’ shops and the team. The team is made up of shopkeepers who are disabled or caring for someone who is disabled.

The treasuries are still up on Etsy and can be viewed full size by clicking on each of the three treasury images here.  Once you have the treasury open, you can click on individual items to view them full size or explore the featured shops.

Have fun window shopping or buying some of these lovely handmade items!
