My First Treasury!

.

This 5" x 5" Framed Mandala, $22, was featured in a treasury.

A treasury is a group of 12 photos of products being sold on Etsy that are related by a theme. They are created by Etsy members and automatically expire in 2 or 3 days, I think. (Which is why I didn't link to it.) It's considered spam if the curator emails (or convos, in Etsy-speak) the sellers to let them know they appear in their treasury but I guess people do because that's how I learned about this one. Otherwise, one has to scroll through the list of 333 treasuries, looking for a gold star indicating that you have an item in that treasury.

They are pretty cool to look at it - to see what themes people think up. I can imagine they get pretty addictive - looking at them and making them. The one I appeared in is all items that are pink, black and turquoise. Theoretically appearing in a treasury could boost one's sales. So far, this treasury has had 71 views but I haven't noticed a spike in my views on that item in my shop.

I wanted to post the treasury here but am having trouble figuring out how to do that. You can't right-click-save. I tried taking a screen shot. I even downloaded ScreenGrab, an add-on that Firefox offers but even though I said grab the entire screen, the only part of the image that showed is the header and the footer - not the main part of the page. If anyone can help, please do. (Paula, how did you post yours the other day?)
