"Sunlight on the Bayou" on the Etsy front page!

This summer, my friend Larissa invited me to an event celebrating Nature Photography Day (which I didn't know was a thing) at the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. We had so much fun exploring! A few of my photos from that day are in my Etsy shop, and I especially love this one of the sunlight reflecting on the bayou water. Don't those flecks of light look like sparkling diamonds? Or stars? (Which reminds me of this fabulous book you should read, but I digress.) Imagine my delight when I saw this photo on the front page of Etsy today!

It was part of this stunning collection curated by Pearl Sturtevant of GrayDecember. Don't you love this rich color scheme? Thanks, Pearl!

Parallel Palms on the Etsy Front Page

I recently joined a new Etsy treasury team called "Front Page Treasury Team," and it quickly lived up to its name! My Parallel Palms photo print was on the Etsy front page today as a part of this beautiful collection curated by Hadley Sedgewick of hadleyclay. Thanks, Hadley! I hope I can return the favor! :)

Treasury Team Time

I love selling on Etsy, but I must admit it's hard work. There are hundreds of thousands of shops (and more opening every day), so it's pretty hard to be seen. I recently took a step toward getting seen more often: I joined some treasury teams! I've been putting it off for a long time, but I'm glad I did it. In case you're not in the know, a treasury team is just a group of Etsy sellers who include each other in treasuries, which are collections of items that can be viewed by buyers and sometimes make it to the front page of the site. There's time and effort involved, but I think it's going to be worth it. I haven't made it to the front page (or, you know, sold anything) since I started this, but my work has been included in some beautiful collections made by my fabulous team members. Let me share some of my favorites with you:

Many thanks to Karina, fifthseason, Vicki, and Amy for this masterful curating. Go teams! :)
