...and then she learned how to embed an Etsy treasury!

I just discovered a tool on Handmadeology that lets me embed Etsy treasuries right here in my blog. I know, I am beyond dork... but this is very exciting stuff to me. I just wish I could come up with these cool tricks myself, I am so not versed in this stuff... Oh well, at least I know how to research other peoples strokes of brilliance and steal it!

Back to the Etsy Treasury. "What is that?", you ask. Well, people come up with 16 items from Etsy that fall under one theme. Such as "Inked":

See my Tattoo blocks there? Nestled in with all those other rad gifts by rad artists (I covet that red rose ring!)

How about some chalkboard fun?

'Write it out!' by BluePenguinShop

I heart chalkboards. Chalkboards are the perfect, temporary form of expression. Have you ever had a chalkboard handy at a party or a night in with a few close friends? It is inevitable that it will be written on, commented on, erased and added to all night long. Chalkboards are like having a super fun friend in the room.Embrace the chalk!

Ok, ok, enough bragging about all of my treasuries. I just wanted to practice embedding them in my blog because I love pretending I really know HTML and all that other geekology I steal from really intelligent people.
