<br />
First, I want to thank Yoko again for choosing my treasury last week. I had such a fun week and she made it all possible!<br />
<br />
I thought my pendant "We're all MAD here" would inspire some creative
treasuries and I was right. From the whimsical journeys through
Wonderland to the dark journeys through a tormented mind, I loved them
all. Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to play and feature me in
your MAD collections!<br />
<br />
As usual, it was difficult to choose, but in the end I had to go with (drumroll...)<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CaryeVDPMahoney" target="_blank">Carye's</a> "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTEwNzUwODV8MjcyNzE2MzQ0NA/follow-your-inner-moonlight-dont-hide" target="_blank">Follow your inner moonlight ~ don't hide the madness.</a>" It is
dark yet magical with a bit of fantasy mixed in with the madness. A
perfect composition that beautifully portrayed the mad theme. And who
can resist that beautiful teal color palette? <br />
<br />
Congrats, Carye! Job well done. Thanks again, all!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Thank you so much again, Carice for choosing my treasury. It was my
first win in this fabulous team and I can't describe how happy I was to
receive all the outstanding entries as well as to learn a little bit
more about each of you talented people. I am so honored to be part of
this team, can't thank you all enough for this experience. <br />
<br />
I was thrilled to see my garnet ring playing so many different roles in
different story lines, both in real and surreal settings. You wouldn't
know how many times I went back to all of your creations! It came down
to one though in the end, which is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ATwistOfWhimsy" target="_blank">Gayle's</a> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTA4NDA0NTF8MjcyNDU4ODI4MQ/you-are-here" target="_blank">"You Are Here."</a>
<br />
I instantly fell in love with the warmth of it, inviting cozy feel with
such an uplifting positive vibe that I found is perfect for celebrating
the new year. I was also amazed how preciously she displayed these
colors. Simply beautiful...love it so much. Thank you &
congratulations!<br />

<br />
First I’d like to thank Adamandia and Dina for choosing my Fallen Petals
and giving me the opportunity to have such a lovely week. <br />
And thank you to each person who took the time out of this busiest time of year to make a treasury featuring my little violin. <br />
I loved seeing each story unfold – passionate dramas and charming fairy
tales all with music teeming through them. Every little vignette was
so well done – Impossible task to choose just one! <br />
In the end I kept coming back to three… and then one… and then finally this…<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/treasury/NTY2MTY0OXwyNzI0NTY1MDE3/the-night-of-entertainment?index=6&ref=pr_favetreasuries&atr_uid=" target="_blank">Night of Entertainment</a> by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JooniJewelry" target="_blank">JooniJewelry</a><br />
<br />
It reminds me of everything I love about music and the stage – a sense
of wonder and anticipation with sparkling lights and talented artists –
the perfect story for a little violin to tell. <br />
Thank you <br />
PS I’m away for a few days so the HMs will be a little late getting posted<br />

<br />
it was a wonderful ride..:))<br />
a huge thank you to everyone who participated<br />
and especially to Iva for chosing our treasury last week and giving us
the opportunity to see our purple heart in all these beautiful and
inspired collections!!<br />
It's true..there was not one treasury created that we didn't connect
with in some way..stories, fairy tales, beautiful color
combinations...so fascinated!..<br />
Well...there was a treasury that we just couldn't pass up..."..we felt
as if we had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and
fragnant between its leaves.." -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island.<br />
"..we were looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses(la vie en rose..)" - Audrey Hepburn Sabrina.<br />
"...eternally, devastatingly romantic, and we thought people would see
it because 'romantic' doesn't mean 'sugary'. It's dark and tormented-the
furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can't attain..." -
Catherine Breillat.<br />

<br />
What a whirlwind this past week has been! Your treasuries kept pouring
in and delighting me, all of them artistic, funny, zany and thoroughly
enjoyable. I am very happy and grateful for this shower of abundance and
for the fun-loving spirit and exuberant creativity with which you
handled my toast lady. We were thrilled by the attention, if a little
overwhelmed. :) I could have sworn one of her curlers fell out as she
breathlessly rushed from one treasury party to another. <br />
<br />
So thank you to each and every one of you for this torrent of creativity
and playfulness. You have made my task harder because I couldn't simply
rush by without thoroughly soaking myself in all this beauty, toast in
hand. Trying to pick the winner occasionally felt like pulling teeth (my
own), so after narrowing it down to six worthy winners I decided to
follow my heart and go with the one which brought a smile to my face
every single time I opened it to imbibe its soothing beauty.<br />
<br />
My choice of winner(s) are <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/byartroom2" target="_blank">Adamandia and Dina</a> with their <a href="https://www.etsy.com/treasury/MjM1MzI2NjJ8MjcyNzA4NjA1Mg/retry" target="_blank">Retry</a>. If it
were possible to bottle the treasury, it would without a doubt serve as
an excellent and highly reliable anti-depressant and mood boost. Looking
at it I catch myself fantasizing about café latte, cream and milk,
cheese cake, then strawberry cheese cake, caramel, marshmallows and
hugs. Have I mentioned I'm lactose intolerant and also vegan? Bet you
wish you knew that beforehand. Looking at this treasury I feel no
stomach upset and no forbidden cravings, just comfort, tenderness and
boundless love for the pure-hearted curators behind this chilled and
heavenly slice of perfection. <br />
<br />
Congratulations, girls! :)<br />
<br />

be judging the Challenge this week. It is totally up to her as to what
she is looking for. Make the best treasury you can and just maybe one

<i>Failure to follow these 9 steps will disqualify you from the challenge:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Include the Inspiration Item in any of the first 4 spots. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Do not use more than one item from any shop in your treasury. Use sixteen separate shops. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Leave a link to your treasury in our Entry thread on our team page
before Sunday at noon eastern. Please leave it one time only. Judges and
volunteers use this thread to find the current treasuries. You must
leave your link in the correct thread <i>by the deadline</i> to have
your treasury judged. Your link also needs to be there to have your
shop added to the sidebar list and to be added to the buyer account. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Tag your treasury with <b>"nonteam" </b>and <b>"nonteamchallenge 216"</b> (<u>separated by a space before the number</u>). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Be sure to include a link to the blog in the treasury description. If
it doesn't fit into the description, you may leave it in the first
comment. <a class="linkification-ext" href="http://treasurychallengenonteam.blogspot.com/" title="Linkification: http://treasurychallengenonteam.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #2d8cbe;">http://treasurychallengenonteam.blogspot.com/</span></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Only one entry per person if you have more than one Etsy account.
Only one entry per account if you have multiple people running a single
shop. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Support other participants - View/Comment/Click on as many other
treasuries in the Challenge as possible. Do not leave a link to your
treasury in the comments of another person's treasury. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. Don't tag your non-team treasury with tags for other teams that you
are a member of. Our non-team treasuries are not meant to promote your
other teams. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*** Only participate if you'll be available to judge the next week's
Challenge - and report the winning treasury by the next Tuesday.
Judging is a hugely time-consuming job. There may be hundreds of
treasuries. Please only participate if you have the time to judge next
week. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*** Make sure that your shop is in compliance with Etsy's TOS. We won't
promote shops that are resellers, blatant copyright infringers,
purposeful mis-taggers, etc. Those shops are disqualified from winning
challenges. </div>

<br />
First I want to thank Karma for choosing my treasury as the winner last
week! Winning a nonteam challenge is so very rewarding and so much fun!
<3<br />
<br />
I also want to thank each and every participant! You all made my week and you are all fantastic curators! Thank you!<br />
<br />
This week's winning treasury is chosen because it is simply so very me
in every possible way. It feels like my soul made treasury! Furthermore,
it is a decadent pleasure for all the senses with lush colors, velvet
textures, the sound of a cello, a taste of cranberries and the scent of
patchouli! Simply sublime!<br />

<br />
Of all the treasury competitions I've participated in so far, this was
the most exciting, most artistically satisfying and most difficult to
judge. I wasn't really sure about choosing a rose-related item at first,
knowing that it would be limiting the color and theme choice when
making treasuries. But then I decided to trust your creativity (and I
wanted to make it a real 'challenge') and wow, you really went beyond my
expectations. I honestly never thought that so many original ideas and
color combinations could come out this little brooch. <br />
<br />
I was especially drawn to treasuries that have distinct themes, unusual
colors and great overall balance. After narrowing my list down to four I
had a hard time making my final decision, but I chose this in the end
as it had that soothing appeal that made me come back again and again:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTMyMTE0OTJ8MjcyNDQ0MTk4OQ/little-miss-sunshine?index=7&ref=treasury_search&atr_uid=" target="_blank">Little Miss Sunshine</a> by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/moonwingcrafts" target="_blank">Eveline</a><br />
<br />
Clearly I was struck by the colors as soon as I opened the treasury - so
unconventional! All those different colors blend in so well together
that I get the impression of looking at a single work of art with many
complementing elements. That is talent! And of course the gorgeous
theme, and the way that theme is weaved throughout the whole page with
effortless grace. When looking at treasuries, I often think what it
would be like to replace some items or to change the arrangement a bit.
For Eveline's I coudln't think of any different combination at all.
Every element is perfect, and all sitting in their own perfect spots.
Fantastic job, Eveline, thank you!!<br />

<br />
First off I want to thank Amber for sharing a bit of her personal story.
It is a hard thing to do, but needed. Often women feel alone, scared,
and unsure of ourselves and our bodies. Meanwhile there are millions of
others that have or will at one time experience similar pain. I hope
women learn to talk more about their experiences with each other, so
they know they are not alone and can help each other heal. <br />
<br />
That being said.. I NEVER thought I'd win the Nonteam weekly challenge!
Having also won the flash challenge made it super overwhelming and
intense. Thankfully my husband and I had made plans that didn't fully
work out and I had some time off of work. What an experience! <br />
<br />
I didn't know what item to pick and went through your selections to
decide. I wasn't sure about the item I picked, because I didn't want to
get tired of looking at all the blue. I will say that those of you that
did blue did it soo soo soo well!! Also, there were some very colorful
and unexpected collections that really helped break up the monochromatic
scheme. THANK YOU! This team is so talented and I feel so thankful to
be part of it. I really do believe that each collection can be a work of
art and should be viewed as such. This time is the best gallery I know.
Thank you to everyone who makes that possible!<br />
<br />
Without further ado, and because well we both know you scrolled down
immediately anyways ;) I present to you the winning collection:<br />
<br />

<br />
I love everything about it the title, the subject, the tone. The mood it
evokes in me is one of peace and rest, of movement and change in
stillness. The color palette is so dead on perfect and unexpected. The
greens calming the intense blues and adding balance and warmth. This is
beautiful. Thank you Nari and GOOD LUCK!<br />

<br />
Thank you all so much! I appreciate all of the beautiful treasuries you created last week.<br />
<br />
As my winner, I choose <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/vee41dmb" target="_blank">Vee</a>'s <a href="https://www.etsy.com/treasury/NTI4MjYwMnwyNzI2OTUwNDUy/hope?index=2&ref=pr_treasury_more&atr_uid=" target="_blank">Hope</a>.<br />
<br />
I was completely moved by her treasury. Not only did it go beautifully
with my teething necklaces, but it had an amazing message. Having lost a
baby myself and having my rainbow baby, it really hit home. It is
really wonderful to bring awareness to a thing that effects so, so many
women. Thank you so much, Vee.<br />

<br />
THANK YOU THANK YOU merci BEAUCOUP, to everybody who kept me guessing this week... <br />
I COULDN'T believe I'd won the challenge in the first place, thank you
Sarah from thejetty so so much, an honour and as you said last week, it
is about the most exciting thing to happen on etsy! I have been
attempting it for years now! Thanks.<br />
SOOOO first of all why didn't I choose a fun and friendly french item,
which is typical form my shop, well I just knew I would get bored and so
decided on something which left it as wide open as possible..<br />
AND you people are very very very good at variety and maximising the
ordinary into something spectacular! I didn't get bored, NOT AT ALL...<br />
<br />
from crazy headdresses, haystacks, Halloween and hurting souls to the
most beautiful of blue grey and purple art feasts..... what more could I
have wanted!!<br />
<br />
without further waffling ado... I had to choose as my winner:<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mambies" target="_blank">Amber Bessette</a> with this amazing and bold creation: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/treasury/NDQzOTAzNjF8MjcyNjkyNTY3NA/maybe-she-was-asking-for-it" target="_blank">maybe she was asking for it.</a>
<br />
<br />
I think her message is powerful and of such incredible importance, that
despite there being some other equally beautiful and inspiring
treasuries, her message must be heard and acted upon...sexual abuse and
rape can destroy lives, you can protect your people.<br />
<br />
