Treasury Team Presents: Alter Ego


I like the idea that the best Halloween costume is one that brings out a side of you that isn't normally seen and embraces it fully.  My college chemistry teacher also once started stripping in class while giving the advice that "the worst Halloween costume is when you go as yourself."  Once he got out of his professor clothes, he was wearing a neon bike racing outfit (phew!).  So either way, our treasury challenge in the next two weeks is to explore the fun of your ideal Halloween persona.  Favorite costume of the past?  Seasonal embracing?  Modern politics?  Local party inspiration?

To participate:
  • Please include at least 4 SF Etsy team members (find with the tag "sfetsy" or "sf etsy") and don't forget that vintage and supplies hold some great treasures!  
  • Please tag your treasury itself with the full "sfetsy team treasury" so we can find each other and get seen by Etsy.com admin.  
  • In the description or first comment, link back to www.sfetsy.blogspot.com or www.fb.com/sfetsy so we can keep our community rolling.
  • Highest number of favorites, shares, comments, and clicks will win your shop and treasury the next blog feature!
  • Do message your featured sellers to let them know they are in your treasury and share your treasury in the SF Etsy team google groups as well as your own social media to spread your story!
Celebrating "Home Again" with the character of our Bay Area neighborhoods, we had myself (Even), Amanda Jayne, Lisa Spinella, Moria Hart, Jen Norton, Imelda, and Irina Lib curate treasuries and together we generated over 1700 views!  It's wonderful getting to know each other better too, please do chat in the comments and be friendly~

Our winning treasury was created by Lisa Spinella of TickleandSmash with nearly 450 interactions!  Go Lisa!  Lisa makes fantastic handbags in gorgeous and fun collage combinations.  Check out her very spooky Evilest Pazuzu bag, just in time for the scariest time of the year!

Thanks for participating! Our bi-weekly treasury challenges are open to all.  You can click "Create a List" on the right side of any existing treasury to begin your own.  I recommend using two open windows to make it easy to cut and paste listing numbers.  There's also the Treasury Tool from Shmetsy which is an add on app that helps you make treasuries faster (no cut and paste!) as well as message everyone in your treasury that they have been featured.

Let's Hear Your Voice! SF Etsy Team-wide Survey is Live


Our members and fans have been noticing how many fantastic events the SF Etsy team has been hosting and this survey is a chance to give your input for what comes next in a big way. The SF Etsy Leadership Team and volunteers have an SF Etsy exclusive Holiday Boot Camp series, online and offline promotion opportunities and plenty of get-togethers for fun and networking coming up and we'd love to hear from you!
The survey is powered by google and will work best when you are at a desktop or laptop computer (not most mobile devices) and should take you less than 30 minutes. We'll ask you about your shop, online experience with Etsy, and how we can help you succeed in your own way.  Thanks for contributing!  The more we hear from you, the better team we'll be ~ easy, right?

As a thank you for participating, our fantastic leadership team will be giving prizes to a lucky few.
This opportunity is for current SF Etsy team members.
Please submit your survey by August 31st to be in the prize drawing!

Treasury Team Presents: Creative Heros

Our amazing team has curated Etsy treasuries for the last two weeks with the idea of sharing about individuals that inspire us.  PJ of Wooliverse,  Lisa of TickleAndSmash, Katy of KatyAtchison, Catherine of PaganucciDesigns, Kathleen of KathleenMcMahon, Troy of CAMermaidJewelry, and Monique of RedTallStudios all created amazing treasuries featuring SFEtsy sellers.  You can see the treasuries our team creates with this search.


All are welcome to participate in our themed treasuries.  New theme ideas welcome too!
Our next theme is "At Bat Songs" ~ Please make a treasury that illustrates a song that would play when you are up to bat, meaning an something that inspires you and/or would get your audience to cheer for you.  This theme is inspired by our awesome co-captain's favorite first date question!  Please share your treasury widely and feel free to make conversation in the comments-we're having a great time getting to know each other this way.


Please tag your treasury with "SF Etsy Treasury Team" so we (and Etsy Admin) can easily find each other.  Include at least four SF Etsy team members. It will be wonderful if you share more of the story in the comments so we can continue the conversation.  We'll have two weeks for sharing and gaining attention, after that the 'winner' with the most views will be featured here on the blog.  Questions can always be emailed to evenhoward@gmail.com.


And... the winner of our Creative Heros theme is Lisa Spinella of TickleAndSmash!  I loved learning more about Kathe Kollwitz from her treasury and vision. Thanks to Lisa for sharing!
