I’ve gotten into curating treasuries on Etsy in the last couple of weeks. It’s not easy to get a treasury — only a few hundred are allowed at any one time and you have to be there exactly when the number of lists drops below that number to grab a spot. But it’s so fun and another creative outlet — I enjoy putting together a theme and finding the items to express the theme that have the best visual flow. I’ve found many interesting sellers while making treasuries!

The other tricky thing is that treasuries only last a couple of days, and I always forget to take a screen shot before mine expire! This time I remembered.

A very timely theme, what with the new Sherlock Holmes movie out, which I haven’t seen yet but plan to. Robert Downey Jr. looks absolutely delicious in the trailers! Have you seen it? What did you think?
