Play it forward treasury - Scaling it down

One of my items, the blue knitted scarf http://www.etsy.com/listing/87580968/scarf-knitted-with-blue-textured-italian?ref=tre-2001427691-16   was featured in the treasury "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song" by Curator  http://www.etsy.com/shop/FingerLakesFinds  who sells Vintage Christmas Past and More.  FREE SHIPPING! Purchase any 3 or more Christmas items and receive free shipping on your order!!!!! Good for USA sales only.

This is the treasury I'm featured in:


 
This is a "Play it forward Treasury" which means I need to pick an item from the Curator shop and list it in the first spot of a treasury I put together and then pick other items to fill in the rest of the spaces.  The rules are:
1. If you are in this treasury make a treasury using 1 of my items in the first spot.
2. Post these rules in your treasury. Then they will post their treasury and we keep going.
3. Post a comment.
This is a pretty cool way to get your items and shop promoted.  Of course not everybody likes doing this but it's still fun if you end up in just a couple of treasuries and see what people come up with.

I picked a vintage scale from the Curator shop as my first item listed in the treasury I decided to make.  I thought naming it "Scaling it down" would be a neat theme so I went looking for miniature items on the homespunsociety team I'm a member of and this is what I came up with.  I can't wait to see what all the other folks will come up with using one of my items in spot # 1 of their treasuries.




More blue love hearts

So I couldn't stop crocheting these cute little hearts the other day when I made the garland and decided to sell these without making them into a bunting/garland.  I figured somebody might have fun with these using them for scrapbooking, decorating a pillow, a jacket or whatever else you can think of.  I found this cute little heart box at the craft store and I couldn't believe what a perfect fit they are for all my little hearts!   Anyway, there are 9 of them in the little box.  I had 10 and since that one didn't fit into the box I used it to decorate the box on the outside with it.  That way you can actually tell from the outside what's on the inside!  I'm now working on some more little hearts since I found yet another little heart container, a metal one this time that will hold less then 9 but it has a see through top so I thought that would be just as perfect as the other one I already made up and is now for sale in my BitsOfFiber shop.  Here are a couple pictures but if you like to see more then click on this link   http://www.etsy.com/listing/91920609/crochet-heart-appliques-for-decorations?ref=pr_shop    which will take you to the item in my shop.  Come back in the next couple of days to check out the other ones I'm working on.  They are a very pretty salmon color.
