"Sporty Studs" Treasury Challenge Winner: Pink Stripe

Congratulations to Heather of Pink Stripe on Etsy on her win of the Sporty Studs treasury challenge!  Heather's treasury, "March Madness--by the Numbers!  Let's DANCE!!" received the most views of any of our treasury submissions on Etsy!  


The EKTT delivered some of the most humorous treasuries to date for our latest weekly challenge themes!  Curators, please maintain those treasuries as these themes will be timely throughout March.  For all of you EKTT fans, click HERE to see the rest of our "Bearded Boys & Their Toys" and "Sporty Studs" treasuries curated for your shopping and viewing pleasure.


Heather of Pink Stripe on Etsy repurposes vintage fabrics into appliqued onesies, bags, tutus, burp cloths, and fashionable clothing for boys and girls. Know a mom who could use a hand?  Pink Stripe has just the ticket for your mama, grandma, teacher, or aunt:  a custom HANDbag with her favorite kid's handprints appliqued on the bag!  Click on the picture below for more information on this wonderful gift idea for mom.

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.)
