EKTT Weekly Treasury Challenge: Let's Hear it for the Boys (and Etsy Studs)!

The winner of our latest weekly treasury challenge, SquishyBee on Etsy, has decided we need to put the spotlight on dudes--little and big, we love 'em!   I dare ya' to find some Etsy Studs to feature in these fun themes!

Bearded Boys & Their Toys

Focus items:  beards, bearded ladies, beards for your pet pal; vintage designer pieces and collectibles (namely in fashion and bikes/auto).  Etsy says, "The beard and its many variations have transcended the mustache in popularity!" 

OR

Sporty Studs

Focus items:  "The World in Sports" March Madness (college basketball) and spring training (baseball).  Think in terms of teams, colors, brackets, predictions and wagers.  (Note:  Remember not to use any "handmade" category item that features a team logo or fabric or trademarked/copyrighted material.  You may use vintage logo listings.)
