Treasury Theme Keywords: October

Hey team!  It's time to round up the keywords from October's "From Etsy's Merchandising Desk" article in the Storque.  These keywords can be incorporated in the designs in your shop, your tagging, and your marketing.  As treasury makers, these keywords are important to pay attention to because these are the themes Etsy will be putting on the FP.   I'm going to pull keywords from these articles every month and list them here on the blog.  If you make a treasury with one or more of these keywords, be sure to tag your treasuries with the words!
