Thank you to everyone who participated in our first treasury challenge.  There were some absolutely gorgeous treasuries made by our team.  

The winner of this weeks challenge was Mad Meadow with their treasury, Gettin' Cozy.  

Mad Meadow will be the selected shop for this week's treasury challenge.  There will be a few changes this week, so stay tuned for updates.  I will inform you of  all updates in the Friday post letting you know the second treasury challenge is open.

Thank you again to all who participated.  I look forward to seeing the treasuries that are created this week!

Top Shops Treasury Challenge #1

Top Shops Treasury Challenge #1

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to Top Shops of Etsy's first treasury Challenge.  The featured shop for our first challenge is:

Stylish Smithereens

Pick at least one item from the Stylish Smithereens and create a treasury around the item.  Make sure to tag your treasury with "TopShopsChallenge(space)(challenge number)" ex. TopShopsChallenge 1.  The challenge will end Monday morning and the treasury will the most hearts will win the challenge!  The challenge winner's shop will become the selected shop for next week's treasury challenge.

Let's try to get one of our treasuries featured on the front page!

Here are some general tips on creating treasuries:

-  Do not include items from your own shop.

-  Do not include more than one item from the same shop.

-  Try to include items from a variety of categories (homemade, supplies, vintage..etc).

-  Make sure the listings you include have clear, high-resolution images.

-  Try to create a theme and stick to it.

- Promote, promote, promote.  Etsy has thousands of treasuries.  Make sure to post a link to your treasury in any of your Etsy team boards and any social media sites that you use.

Good luck everyone!  I will announce the winner of the first treasury challenge on Monday.

New Treasury Challenge

New Treasury Challenge

I've noticed the past few weeks that many of the treasuries featured on the front page of Etsy are part of an Etsy team challenge.  I thought Top Shops of Etsy should have it's own treasury challenge.  Let's try to get some of our shops featured on the front page!

Here is how the challenge will work:

Starting Friday at noon, I will randomly choose an Etsy shop from the directory and announce the shop in a post.  Pick at least one item from the selected shop and create a treasury around the item.  Tag your treasury with "TopShopsChallenge(space)(number of the challenge)" so that I can find it (ex. TopShopsChallenge 1).  The challenge will end Monday morning and the treasury will the most hearts will win the challenge!  The challenge winner's shop will become the selected shop for next week's treasury challenge.

Please help me to spread the word about this challenge and I hope to see you all here on Friday for the first shop announcement!
