Folksy Friday - October Owls

I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween. ~Author Unknown

A vaguely halloweenly collection of items from the October Owls. I must admit that orange pumpkiny things with zombie embellishments were a bit thin on the ground.

Orange Bee Mirror, Vanity Mirror in Acrylic Paint by lilly's Night Garden

Blue Glass Beaded Memory Wire Bracelet by Pretty Beautiful Designs

The blues in this bracelet remind me of holidays in the sun
 but also warn of cold ice on it's way!
Either way beautiful blues.

Moonlight Dance Black Beaded Necklace by Clover Jewels

This would really finish off a black party dress this season.

Patchwork Tote Bag by SimJaTa

I love the different fabrics on this bag.They look fantastic together.

Cherries!

Week 3 of the featured seller treasury challenge. As part of the 'crafty folk'team on ETSY we are featuring a seller every week to feature in a treasury. When it's your turn you could be featured in lots of beautiful treasuries in a week.

This week it's moodycowdesigns. This seller creates unique bags and purses in delicious fabrics and with great attention to detail. The cherry purse inspired this treasury.

Zebras!

Did you know...

• that the stripes on zebras are as unique as human fingerprints.
• the skin underneathe the stripes is black.
• Zebras sleep standing up.

I listed these zebra print hair grips this morning. It just got me thinking!

I did a quick search and found these fab products in ETSY and FOLKSY shops. Click on the picture to go straight to the shop.

Folksy Friday

No theme this week. These are some of my favourites from the owls listing club.

 

Damselfly Gemma

I love the rainbow of colours in this pendant that looks like it would feel super smooth on your skin. It reminds me of those sweets of old. I think they were called Spangles.

Made by Lolly

I love this monochrome collection. They would be a perfect presents for co-workers.

Photography by Gail Griggs

How much fun is this photo! It made me smile all day.

Sew Happy

I love this fabric.

Created by Kelly

I love the originality of these badges. The style really appeals to me.

Dottery Pottery

What amazing buttons! They make me want to rip buttons off things and replace them with these!

BNR's

Well as you know a new team has started on ETSY,  'Crafty Folk' . Originally started after the UK site FOLKSY made it's true feelings about 'assembled' goods known. Lots of shops have now moved to the 'other side' and have collected together. Everyone is welcome though. As well as a daily listing club we have been coming up with new ideas although mostly stolen from other teams! The latest is a BNR . It's well under way and we have had 5 sales in the first few hours.

A BNR has a starting line up in a treasury format. If you'd like to buy from one of the shops , go ahead and then post the transaction link making sure to call out the shops name in CAPITALS. Your ETSY shop then gets that persons spot. You get to stay in the treasury until you are bought out. Anyone is welcome to play.

Now if you become an addict and you may well,there's a few teams that have fantastic BNR's or BNS's (Buy and Stay). They are a great way to promote your shop and usually lead to a sale. I can recommend http://www.etsy.com/teams/7574/shoppers-paradise-bnr-team. They're a friendly lot and such a global team there's always someone hanging around for chatting.

If you haven't tried  a BNR/BNS then yet it's time to have a whirl.

Wordless Wednesday!
