I'm the Featured STAT TEAM Shop on Etsy!

This wonderful team of artists on Etsy works together to promote each others' shops, through the creation of curated Treasuries, collections of pieces from our shops.  The STAT TEAM is for Self-Taught Artists.  I'm excited to be a part of the team and to bring attention to their works of art.  And I'm doubly excited to be spotlighted right now in the treasuries and on the Blog.  Here's what was posted on the team Blog today, and I've been "liking" on Facebook all the member treasuries as they're brought to my attention.

You can find those treasuries by going to Etsy.com, scroll down the left side to click on Treasury.  Go to the search window at the top and enter my shop name, NatureAngels, to search the Treasury section.  That will give you a list of all treasuries in which my items are featured, as well as all treasuries I've created.

Thank you!

Take a look at Unicorn's assortment of charms, jewelry, eyeglass chains, hair accessories, and bookmarks. They'll make you smile!  And let me tell you, this lady (Rhonda) knows how to run a fast & furious BNR Treasury (Buy and Replace) - if you've never tried one....run, don't walk to the Etsy Treasury and search "opn bnr" and give it a try. You'll be hooked!  Uni, as she's known in the BNRs, is always in demand for her adorable pieces and great customer service.  Here are a few of my favorites from her shop:

Etsy Shop I'm Featuring Today - TheChristmasCorner - Audrey's Country Crafts

http://www.thechristmascorner.etsy.com/  Audrey's Country Crafts

Check out these adorable owls, butterflies, coffee and chocolate-related creations by Audrey in her Etsy shop. She's got an assortment of magnets, coasters & jewelry that'll keep ya coming back - that's for sure!  Audrey is the Captain of the Etsy BNE (Buy and Enter) Team, which is such a great idea & so much fun. Since we're all buying anyway, we might as well earn raffle tickets for it, right? Each week, a list of donating shops is created, and Audrey and the team leaders keep track of how many purchases/entries each member has, and during the Friday night BNE BNR Treasury, you can earn more entries until at the end the winners are announced, and each winner receives an assortment of goodies from several of the donating shops. I've been on the receiving end of those prizes before, and Wow was that cool! This week both my shops are donating prizes, so I can't wait to see who gets the goods!

Here are some of my favorites from Audrey's Etsy shop:

All my Etsy Orders have started Arriving - WooHoo!

Like I posted earlier, I've done a LOT of my Christmas shopping this year on etsy.com, and I'm thrilled with the items I've received so far. Unlike auction sites, stores, etc...Etsy sellers go the extra mile to include freebies, wrap items with special care or in fun/unique ways. Sometimes the package is just as cool as what's in it.  So, I'm definitely taking notes from other sellers. I've gotten the most yummy smelling candles and soaps of the purest ingredients. I've purchase unique gift items like Beerings - adorable brass rings for men that are also bottle openers!  I just received the most precious tiles (recycled of course) with hilarious sayings on them for your best friend, sister-in-law...I can't wait to give them!
What else...Oh, glasses made from recycled beer bottles and root beer bottles. They're so awesome!
Nothing has disappointed.
And I've been having a blast joining in the BNR and BNS in the Treasury. That's where you look at that treasury of items someone put together, and when you buy 1 of them, the curator replaces that item with 1 of yours from your store. That's Buy and Replace or Buy and Stay. The BNS is in the Forums. That's one where you buy an item from 1 of the listed stores, and then your store is added to the list. It stays on that list as long as you remember to check in & give a "shout out" daily. If you forget & get knocked off the list 1 day, you just buy something again to get back on.
They're a lot of fun, and we all work at promoting those treasuries/forums via twitter, FB, etc. I've really seen my page views go up this week and I've had 5 sales! WooHoo!
Well, gotta go for now...the big Garage Sale is on tomorrow at Mom & Dad's, and I've gotta get busy dragging stuff over there!
