good things


Excitement!

Etsy seller TheLoudLion included one of my pieces in her Treasury.

Treasury lists consist of 12 items plus 4 alternates, usually selected by ordinary Etsy members based on a theme (in this case the theme is gold hearts). The lists are short-lived, expiring after 24-72 hours, and Treasury spots are hard to come by: in order to get one, you have to be waiting when an existing spot expires and pounce before someone else does. Etsy admins troll these lists for particularly well-assembled and attractive collections to feature on the front page... providing a LOT of exposure for the featured sellers. (You can find out more about how it works here.)

Even if a list is not chosen for the front page, it will be seen by lots of people who might not otherwise come across these items, making it a great promotional tool. And promotion is something I definitely need right now.
