Made in MN Blogventure Wednesday FINALE: My Favorite Things

Here I am at the end of my blog adventure that began almost five months ago. It took less time than I thought it would, but it did inspire me to really appreciate the talent that resides within a radius of just hours from my own home. I have to apologize to the shops who were not featured; it was not purposeful. Every shop was included unless it was on vacation or would not load at the time of my creating the treasury. If I were more organized, I would have kept track so I could go back and feature those who I missed. Maybe I'll get it together someday, but in any case I hope to continue to find time to peruse Etsy between work and family and selling the house and random medical mysteries and whatnot.

This last treasury is just some of my very favorites from the past five months.

Made in MN Blogventure Wednesday 16: Just a Little Something

The premise:
This blogventure celebrates my favorite colors, blue and green, while paying homage to the awesomeness of the HandmadeMN members via Etsy treasuries. Each one features items from a particular crafting category as listed on the HandmadeMN blog. If you like the items, leave a comment on the treasury - comments will bump the treasury toward the top of the list so other folks are more likely to view it and give some love to these fabulous artists!

Some categories have just a few shops and others have so many that they'll cover more than one week; I want everybody to get fair attention, so you might see some random treasuries here and there. It'll take at least six months to get through all the HandmadeMN shops, so saddle up!


Ammendment 1 (8.8.10): When I say "Wednesday" I really mean any day of the week.

June 1, 2010

Made in MN

I've been looking for a blog project a la Julie and Julia, because it's fun to go on little adventures, and since creating my first two Etsy treasuries I feel like the fates have made the content decision for me.

Hot for Blue and Green and Sea Baby follow different themes, but similar colors. Blue and green are peaceful. They remind me of the cabin we go to every year on Lake Superior. Of course, going on those family vacations is not always relaxing; sometimes it's boring, sometimes it's annoying to share bathrooms (but at least we have them), and most of the time it's a pain to plan a week's worth of meals for eight people - including two picky kids. One year, there were worms hanging by silk strings from all the trees. Another year, I ran over a snake on the Alpine Slide.

But reminiscing about these vacations is generally much more romantic - roasting smores, playing cribbage on the porch, listening to the waves from bed. Playing bocce ball on the green grass that's stuccoed with tree roots. Skipping blue lake rocks into the blue harbor of Grand Marais. Yes, it can be quite idyllic.

So my first blogventure is going to celebrate blues and greens while paying homage to the awesomeness of the HandmadeMN members. Each treasury will feature items from a particular crafting category as listed on the HandmadeMN blog. First up: Va-va-va-vintage. Stay tuned!
