I belong to several groups and have made a lot of friends in each of them. Sure, we only know each other online – but it’s a great feeling that there are people out there who are available to help or just make you feel good about yourself!

Well, since my last post about treasuries that I had been included in, I’ve received more emails – YEAH!! I love featuring treasuries and my friends who have curated them.

Meet Valerie, from Crochet Gal. Valerie created this Flip Flop Treasury including not just one of my flip flop items (earrings), but my new flip flop stitch markers as well!

Thanks Valerie! Now I get a lot of my yarn from Valerie’s shop – and boy does she have some great choices. And just when I think I’ve gotten her latest colors, she comes up with new ones. I love this purple cotton yarn – can’t you just see this made up into wash cloths?

Meet Julie from Dinkalulu where Gypsy trinkets abound. Julie is one of my friends in the Hoarders Unite group. Oh, we are not those kind of hoarders that you see on tv. We hoard craft supplies!! Mine haven’t gotten to the point where I have to have walkways running between them
Julie created this Lovely Things treasury

Thanks Julie! I’m sure you have heard about lampwork beads. Well, I don’t make them, and I currently don’t use them to make earrings – but I’m becoming very tempted. With that in mind, I found these gorgeous flower lampwork beads in Julie’s shop!

Meet Kirby from Happy Hound Creative Kirby is a ‘sneaker’ friend (Sneak Attack) and she came up with this Summer Means treasury Kirby included a pair of my flip flop earrings!

Thanks Kirby! Kirby makes the neatest cards that you can use for thank you notes, invitations and more. I’ve ordered from her before and her work is excellent! I just love these little invitations perfect for a baby shower or a little girls birthday party.

I love creating these blog posts to say thank you to my friends. What would be even greater would be for you to find something in their shops you can’t live without! Have fun shopping.
