Thursday is Treasury Day!

Welcome to my own version of Etsy's Treasuries! I really enjoy putting them together, this is week 3 already.

Some of you may have noticed a trend with them - they each feature a soap from Soaperstar! Celine from Soaperstar designs and handcrafts all her soaps and I find them all so stunning and as I've tried and tested a couple of them; I know they truely are wonderful so she always deserves a spot in my treasuries!

This week I have also featured one of my own designs as they match well with everything.

My own Treasury

I keep seeing on twitter and elsewhere about people's treasurys on Etsy and I love looking at them, but as I'm not a member on Etsy and prefer to shop and sell on Misi and Folksy, I thought I'd blog about my own treasury instead... I'll have to think of a new name for it also...... um any ideas??

I love handmade crafts and there is sooooooooo much talent out there, I have way too many 'favourites' and 'heart sellers' on Misi and Folksy! I will be adding links with my treasury photos. It's all abit of free advertising for the sellers really and I'm not asking for anything in return, I just love searching through all the handmade gifts out there :) If you would like to be featured it one of my treasuries you can email me at info@beadsandmorebylois.co.uk

Well here is my first treasury (I'll keep calling it that for now!) I have named it.....
