Friday's Treasure Hoards

We have eight delicious treasuries featuring FAETeam members this past week and it's time to share the goodness and the people who discovered them!

Tuca of MagicalMysteryTuca, a mistress of gorgeous mandala magic, created a very earthy and organic "Into the Forest..." treasury featuring FaerieKat's Faerie Folder with Writing Pad Handmade on Etsy - As Green as Absinthe:

Christine of ChristinesBeadworks, a marvelous manipulator of tiny beads, found herself "Magic Hat Inspired" by one of her own gorgeous creations and a treasury followed that features GypsyMoonArts' beautiful Freya. Sterling Silver Pentacle:

Shannon of GypsyMoonArt is pining for her favorite time of year and, although it doesn't feature any FAETeam members, her "Once Upon a Halloween Night..." treasury will make you pine for this darkly beautiful night, too!

Jen of JensMark, who is happily making her mark on the world of art, takes time out to examine one of the beauties of the deep in her "Sea Shell, Sea Shell, By the Sea Shore" treasury, featuring FaerieKat's Sparkling Strands from the Sea Charm Necklace Handmade on Etsy:

Jennifer of WearableByDesign, an award-winning emporium of silver and gems that will make you drool in public, enfolds us in the "Cool, [gentle/genteel] colors of summer" in her "Summer Cooler" treasury featuring FaerieKat's Faerie Folder with Writing Pad Handmade on Etsy - As Green as Absinthe:

Tracy of mztracyr designs, jewelry designed with you in mind, fell in love with "The Colors of Red..." and her red hot treasury features Aquariann's seductive red-haired Tree Fairy . fantasy art pinback button:

Shane of ShaneKelly, an award winning photojournalist, went looking for "DIVINE INSPIRATION - TOP PICKS" (originally entitled "Uniquely Beautiful") and created a "treasury of uniquely beautiful items made by some inspired Etsy artists." Featured is FaerieKat's Frosty Aqua Sea Glass Ring Handmade on Etsy (but you definitely have to check out the "Bogwater Bouquet" and all its relatives!):

Which brings us to our final entry from Tina of HandmadeMom, who knows how to have fun making stuff (and it shows!), who knows there's a home for just about everyone, and who made a fantasy lover's "Welcome Home" treasury featuring DebsDetails' Fairy House metalic outdoor decor in golden hues:

May this weekend find that your heart and your home are together in one place, and if not, may your heart be your home til your own wee faerie dwelling and it are united.

Faerie blessings to all!

Magical Summer Solstice

The date of the Summer Solstice varies slightly each year and this year it occurred on the 21st of June, but it's never too late to celebrate this most magical time of the year. Also known as Midsummer, this is when the faeries are most active and happy, so is it any wonder that Janice of TangoCatGems has created a treasury fit for a Faerie Queen called "Summer Solstice"?

Whether ye call it Summer Solstice, Midsummer Eve, Litha, Samradh, Alban Hefin, Aerra Litha, Mother Night, or St. John’s Eve, I hope the magic of the season lifts you on her wings and makes you sing!

Friday Treasury Chest

During the past week, FAEteam member's wonderful works have been tucked into these wonderful treasuries:

Nat of Nataliaraya featured knightimecreations' exotic The Beautiful Courtesan's Wedding Necklace in the equally exotic treasury, "Bohemian...":



Walnut Baby (aka sbpf) created a treasury in which a tag in the first item matches a tag in the second item, a different tag in the second item matches a tag in the third item, and so forth in this "Follow my tags" treasury. MoonlitHerbals' Faerie Magick - Clay Mushroom Stick Incense Burner - with free sample of our hand-dipped incense sticks was linked to the preceding item by the tag "whimsical decor" and led to their Enchanted Faerie Lantern with LED Tealight - Blue through the tag "wicca pagan witch", which in turn led to FaerieKat's Twist of a Rose Pink Crystal Ring through the tag "faerie fairy faery" that in turn led to the next item by virtue of the tag "rose roses rosie":

Dryw - Kapnobatis' Metaphysical and Primitive Art Shop quotes from Tolkien the rules of speaking with dragons and presents us with an incredible treasury "Into the Dragons' Realm" wherein are featured UpfromtheAshes' wickedly wonderful Isaac No.8 Small Dragon Wings in Black, gypsymoonart's elegantly eerie The Next Realm wire wrapped eye ring, and ElementalDragons' endearing Zazzi of the Earth Clan - ELEMENTAL DRAGONS:

Bernadette of BumblbeeEnterprises investigated the sweet taste of mulberries in our next treasury, "Mulberry Time," which features NightLilyDesign's gorgeous and Dashing Mulberry Lace and Satin jacket:


Jessi of JessiJewels is out to set our mouths watering with her delectable treasury, "Sweet Summer Cantaloupe", featuring FaerieKat's Summer Faerie Flower Crochet Wire Cuff:
