Living With Words – An Etsy Treasury

I love punches of text inside a home. I’m quite smitten with various fonts & love accessories made from paper or neat, letter-pressed cards. Here’s a sampling of some great Etsy finds! (Click the image below to visit the treasury as seen on Etsy. All links are clickable from there.)

Happy Winter, Little Squirrel

I absolutely love creating treasuries on Etsy. It’s almost like a treasure hunt / puzzle balled into one activity. I love searching through listings of sweet handmade items to find the perfect item. What is the perfect item for a treasury? It has to suit my theme. The photo of the item should be great & most of all, it should suit the color/colors or tone of my treasury. I also try to pick items that I would love to have. I guess building treasuries is window shopping too!

The treasury collection above is my latest. It’s titled Happy Winter, Little Squirrel. I began this treasury thinking about woodland themed Christmas items, which also happens to be theme of my own Christmas decor this season. Ultimately, the image of the soft winter squirrel won out & I chose to focus on this beautiful creature. All of the items above are exceptional! If you see something you just have to have, click the image above to be taken to the treasury on Etsy. From there, click till your heart’s content.

Happy Winter!

December PFATT Marketplace Sneak Peek!

The PFATT Marketplace updates tomorrow at 1 PM EST. Here’s the latest little fellow that I will be offering on a first come, first served basis.

He’s a free-standing doll built on a papermache cone which means he can also be a tree topper. Please note: he does work best on artificial trees, unless you have a Christmas tree with a particularly straight top. I never seem to pick out those trees! He’s about 8-8.5″ tall & is hand-sculpted without the use of any molds. Available tomorrow, Dec. 10th for $75.00. Free shipping to all US residents via USPS Priority Mail.

Enjoy the photos!

Doesn’t he make you feel all Christmasy? If you’d like to purchase, click here to visit my PFATT Marketplace page. Don’t forget to visit all the very creative artisans!

Happy Holidays Sale!

Here’s the scoop: I’m itching to make lots of new artwork for the coming year. Over the last few days I’ve had lots of ideas for new dolls floating around in my head & I definitely want to have a lot of new artwork to show at various fairs & festivals this year. I love to keep the work new & fresh with up-to-date creations available. BUT, I’m running out of room to put these little guys. My Etsy shop is pretty full & so is the area where I keep these little creations, all nestled in tissue paper until they’re asked to come out & play.

So…to help me make room for new dollies, I’m having a 20% off sale in my Etsy shop. It will run from today, Dec. 8th – Thursday, Dec. 15th at midnight. Enter Christmas20 during checkout to receive your discount. If you’ve had your eye on a piece, this is definitely time to scoop it up as this is only my 2nd public sale this year. (If you’d like to be privy to private sales, made available to mailing list members only, please join my mailing list.) All shipping will be either USPS Priority or Fed Ex (depending on package size) so you’ll get your item in time for Christmas.

Ornaments are excluded from this sale, but everything else is up for grabs.

Happy Shopping & Merry Christmas!
