Purple & Butterflies #Etsy

Yesterday was the 1 year Anniversary of the CraftyFolk team which was started by Dawn. In honour of that a thread was started for Dawn to promote her shop Roses & Razorblades and the shop she does with her husband, More Stash Please?
The CraftyFolk team has taken off in a big way with growing membership and rapidly increasing followers on Twitter. As it has got so big the leadership is shared now to spread the load.
I`m sure that when Dawn began it a year a go she had no idea that it would be the size it is now and so popular.
I`m sure that all the members are very grateful to Dawn for taking that step. I know I am. I originally opened a shop on Etsy on March 14th 2011. But it was such a vast place that I had no idea of what to do or where to go to promote my shop. When the listings ran out I let it lapse. Then a link to the CraftyFolk team on a forum had me looking at it again.
The team was so welcoming and helpful and I felt right at home and that made all the difference. So from me a very big THANK YOU Dawn.
On the thread for Dawn there were also treasuries being done and I decided to do one too. As soon as I saw the purple and a butterfly I was immediately hooked. My choice was made to build a treasury around and then I only needed to find more items with purple and a butterfly.
I was in seventh heaven because they are two of my favourite things.
I hope you enjoy my selection and take a little time to look through the shops.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!
Mmm purple, what could be better?
I even love it on a letter.
Purple shades are so divine
and always look so very fine.
Add in butterflies, what a sum
so delicious, they are yum.
Who doesn`t love a butterfly?
So delicate as they flutterby.
Reminders of the summer sun,
when they go, summer`s done.
But here we have butterflies galore
leaping out of every store.
And even better with purple too,
created just for me and you.
Don`t blame me for your urge
to go mad and have a splurge.
Better not to try and fight
the need to own at least one delight!!
