We have been included in another treasury.  Actually this is the second one recently but I was seriously lax and didn’t do anything about copying the last treasury so it is gone already.  Anyhoo, the new treasury is live and it is called Buttercups and Bluebells!  Lovely sound that title is.  It just slides off your tongue and makes you want to lie down in the woods and watch the clouds puff on by.  The colours are gorgeous with all those yummy blues and stunning yellows.  Hmmm…what do you think?  like it?  if so, while it is hot and live, go to HERE, and comment on what you think.  Remember the treasury is only there for 2 days and than it is gone to make way for new material keeping things fresh and new.

Of particular note I think is the “Gate to the Bluebells” by consumedbynature.  I think this is a stunning photograph.   kudos to you!!

On another note, we have rehomed the last of the sheep, sold off more than half the dairy goat herd, sold off half the chickens and are getting down to a more manageable size.  I plan on having a handful of dairy goats for our own milk, some chickens for our own eggs, dogs, cats, and our new bunnies.  I have both French Angora rabbits, which are my first love, and some Silver Fox and white New Zealand rabbits.  The Silver Foxes and New Zealands are for meat.  That is an experiment that I am not sure on.  We will see.  If it turns out that they are not for us, than it will only mean more rabbit cages free for more of my baby Fur bunnies (ie. the French Angoras!)

Charlie has had another photograph be included in another treasury.  This treasury is on Treasury West instead of the main one.  It is his 5×7 photo of “Old Bridge at Invermoriston”, you can see his photo here.  The Treasury again will  only be available for another day or so as they are usually only live

for a couple of days so that we have a constant gallery of new treasuries revolving out of all the lovely work from the artists on etsy.com.  The treasury if you are quick, can be seen HERE until the early morning hours of Sunday, Novemeber 1, 2009.  so if you want to see it in its entirety, you must be quick about it.

I really do like the piper practising on the lonely more in the lower left black and white photograph.  Very lovely!  The entire collection is very nice and reminds me of Aberdeenshire.

I have had a treasury ready to go for days and days.  see it here This link will only be good for 48 hours..after that  you can view it only in this snap shot to the right.  I wished that I could have included all of my 4 alternates this time as I wanted MY treasury to be 16 items and not just the 12!!!  so at least they can see their items here in MY snapshot as I love them all so much.

I included some hand spun yarns and many other items as well.  Most are from the EtsyFAST August Monthly Challenge, but some are from other artists (who should join EtsyFAST).  I tried to do my usual, which was include only crochet items and hand spun yarns.  There were some beyond fabulous KNIT items that ALMOST made it in..but I had to draw the line somewhere and I am partial to crochet, especially the unusual crochet.

Take a look at the alternates..the ones that are slightly greyed out at the right hand side..and you will see my favourite poison dart frog again (from theitsybitsyspider) ….as well as some cuffs from Merigreenleaf.  My other two alternates, aniemancrochet and tamaran, are new to me as artists as I had not seen their work before.  Aren’t they lovely!

Well since it is around 4am in the morning and I did only get up for a bathroom break..than a call to Scotland to chase up some paperwork, find out it was lost in the mail, gave new address to have it re sent, complained heavily in my mind quietly about their incompetence as hubby is sleeping and has to fly to Norway in a few hours..all while I was waiting for Etsy to be finished with its maintenance..and than snagged the treasury…so now I am tired!!!  Nighty nights!!!
