Take a LEAP! An Etsy Style Guide Celebrating Leap Year

Did you know 2012 is a leap year?  Of course you did!  As we approach the 29th of this month, we're looking to the theme of "leap" to inspire us.  We're a group of Etsy entrepreneurs + we're going to be curating some hand selected shopping guides just for YOU.  How do we go about it?  Well, Etsy has this nifty tool called a "treasury" where you can showcase 16 of your favorite items together in a group.    It's a cool way to shop on Etsy because we seek out fresh finds + present them to you in a mini gallery setting - making shopping on Etsy E.A.S.Y!  Oh, + did we mention fun?


We don't take fun for granted here.  As shop owners, we've become pretty familiar with Etsy + through our shopping guide 'treasuries', we bring you inside Etsy.  We meet up here on the blog once a month to participate in a challenge.  We pick a theme, members curate treasuries around that theme, we share them on the blog + pick a winner!  The winner gets an item from their shop featured in the top row during the next challenge.  Who won last time?  You can read all about it!  We always look forward to seeing how everyone will interpret the theme through both their title + 16 selections.  You'll soon see that having a theme really does make shopping F.U.N!  


But aside from fun, you'll come to find out why our shopping guides are so useful.  You can view the list of them here or you can click on the links below.  We'll be highlighting a small mix of collections too.  We do the hard work for you, so you can shop with ease while having fun.  Ah, the perfection!
