Delaware Team Members in Treasuries

Posted by Marsha Neal Studio

Here are some Etsy Treasuries are created by Individual DEST members, including myself.

My Treasury features work from members of our Delaware Etsy Street Team…

So what do you think so far?

Do you want to create a treasury featuring DEST members?

Are you unsure how to do it? I was. But then I just tried it…

I think I may be addicted to creating Treasuries it if time allows:

Step 1: Click HERE to start your new treasury page.

Step 2: I found it easiest to have multiple tabs open for:

1. For Treasury Page
2. For DEST Etsy Shop: specifically the Favorites Page

Step 3: After finding photos of pieces I really liked and though went well together (knowing they would all be DEST member items made it easier to narrow down), I looked at my collection and though about what the items meant to me - what they might mean to someone looking at the overall treasury. The title is what I thought their story should be called. The description - short like a little love poem.

Step 4: How to get it out there:

1. Use the social media gadgets on the finished Treasury Page (Twitter, Facebook, etc).
2. Blog about it, create a link to it (post it on the DEST Etsy Page discussions so I can post it up here). I may eventually create an inlinkz gadget for you to use on a DEST blog post that can occur at scheduled times.
3. If you want to create a pic of your treasury for your blog, etc: click HERE.
1. My Widget Settings Above: Large, Snapshot.
4. Then click on over to fellow DEST member: Aquariann's Art & Tree Chatter Blog and list your treasury up on her Treasury Tuesday Post.

Leave Feedback Please!

I would love to know what you think about this all so far…

Input is key to helping this team thrive (also - click on the treasuries and share, share, share the links to them!)

A Note From The Captain...

Breathing New Life Into Our Team: 
My Thoughts About My New Position And Changes On The Horizon…

Our Team, this Blog, our Etsy Community: they are like a garden. All individual entities… They will grow immensely if tended and nurtured. Any weeds and invasive efforts will be pulled so the general good can grow. Left alone it will eventually deteriorate… 
So let's all keep things positive, light hearted and help each other out.

If you are overwhelmed, take some time off. You can still keep your items listed with the "DelawareTeam" tags.

If you are lost, reach out (reach in the right direction - discussions on the group page, our group FB page, the captain or other members…).

My brain is on overload, I am hardly sleeping, I have so many ideas - I just can't turn it off…
I think once this period of re-organization and focusing is done, events lined up, and getting Artist & Customer feedback, we should have smooth sailing. 


So keep checking back here, the FB page and the Discussions on the Main Delaware Etsy Street Team page.

Woo Hoo!

The Wilmington News Journal's April 6, 2009, has a great article about Delaware artists who are home-based crafters and selling their works on Etsy.

Several of our members are featured in the article along with some colored photographs of Holly Sullivan's and Sarah Dressiers dolls.

A photograph of Lauren Miller's soaps is also included in the article. One of the main points of the article is the fact that we have a market that includes every place in the world because we are a vitual marketplace.

This is great publicity for Etsy, Delaware, and us!

Thank you to BayMoonDesign for letting us know!

P.S. I just created a new web site where you can create fonts in minutes from your handwriting, drawings, etc. It's brand new and will be offering more font services (like creating fully ding fonts from large images, or all signatures) soon.
