Saturday Treasury Challenge - Hostess Gift Guide


Pepper Jelly Collection from bovinebubbles

November is almost upon us! Lots of holiday parties and events to attend - lots of hostess gifts to prepare!  I try to keep a stock of gifts on hand to go to for last minute preparations and using handmade and vintage items like soaps, jams and jellies, a little piece of jewelry, makes them so much more personal and unique than the standard bottle of wine or box of chocolates.  

Saturday theme challenges are based on a central theme or idea. No specific item is featured, but they are more loosely based on an idea. These challenges are judged - the winning shop will have one of their items featured in the Wednesday Item Challenge – however these challenges are open to all! These theme challenges are meant to build your treasury making skills, promote the team and make Etsy connections. There is always a photo used to express the theme but this item does not have to be included in your treasury.

Everyone is invited to play - these challenges are open to all! These challenges are also voluntary - never mandatory for team members. Remember to try to include team mates you haven't used before.
The Rules:
  1. Include at least 8 Curation Nation team members - you can use the sidebar on this blog for a list of team shops or search Etsy with the "curationnation" tag. Or click here to use the etsy minis to browse our team shops.
  2. Please follow our blog.
  3. Put "Treasury Challenge" somewhere in the title of your treasury.
  4. Post a comment here on the blog with a link to your treasury - your treasury will not be judged unless you have posted it below in the comments.
  5. Put a link to this blog post in the comments of the treasury - this helps others find the challenge and enter.
  6. Tag the treasury "curationnation"
  7. Tag the treasury "CNCHALLENGE
  8. DUE DATE: Wednesday, November 3
