"It's a Mystery to Me" Treasury Challenge Winner: SquishyBee

Congratulations to Cortney of SquishyBee on Etsy on her win of the It's a Mystery to Me treasury challenge!  Cortney's treasury, "Beyond the walls of the secret garden" received the most comments of any of our treasury submissions on Etsy!  SquishyBee is also our February EKTT Featured Member! 



We had such secretive and intriguing treasuries matching this fun theme chosen by Heather of greensies on Etsy.  Thank you, EKTT curators, for rising to the challenge of a more "adult-centric" theme--we have more chances of making the front page of Etsy with diverse (adult inclusive) treasuries!  Don't forget to keep your treasuries up-to-date as this theme will be timely through February.  For all of you EKTT fans, please click HERE to see the rest of our Mystery treasuries curated for your shopping and viewing pleasure.  

Cortney of SquishyBee on Etsy has mom, baby, and kids covered in her boutique offerings which range from baby blankets, bibs, appliqued children's clothing and plush stuffed buddies to makeup bags, hair accessories and brooches.  If the thought of your baby in fuzzy farm critters brings a smile to the corners of your mouth (and why wouldn't it?)--click on the picture below to get more information on Cortney's hand dyed bodysuits for your little lamb.




EKTT Curators, be back later today as we announce our next Weekly Treasury Challenge theme chosen by SquishyBee on Etsy.  The options will double your curating pleasure!  Congratulations again, Cortney, on your Weekly Treasury Challenge win! 

Monday, February 21st, brings the first challenge and the next installment in the EtsyKids Photo Makeover Series written especially for busy people like YOU by our very own Stephanie of Two Little Bluebirds.  She's thoughtfully bringing you information to improve your Etsy shop in baby-sized bites to ensure that everyone will be able to make meaningful improvements to their product photos in very little time.  Stay tuned for the fun prizes for challenge winners!
