Getting to Know Garden22DesignStudio

 Hi team! It's time to get to know Cristy, from Garden22DesignStudio.  She also runs a vintage shop called Garden22Vingtage. Cristy was also the winner of the Itsastitch treasury challenge, so I thought it was time to share a little about her here.

Angie: Who inspired you to be an Etsian?

Cristy: Nobody really inspired me, I was told about Etsy by our Realtor while in the process of selling our house in Indiana and moving to Texas last summer. After getting settled in here, I went to check out the site and became obsessed and finally took the jump and opened my shop mid January.

Angie: What is your favorite thing about Etsy?

Cristy: I love that I have found a group of fellow artists that have given me so much support through Curation Nation. I am actually kind of a shy person (!!! shocking I know) so I am so happy to have found so many talented community members that I can personally trust to ask if I have a question, and so many that I now count as friends. This team rocks.

I took it on a day that I remember fondly as a pretty awesome family adventure :)

Angie: What is one thing you would like everyone to know about you?

Cristy: I can't think of anything that I really want people to know about me, so you get my oddest quirk: for as long as I can remember, I have found 4-leaf clovers. Granted, not NEARLY as much since we moved to Texas, but I still find them. I will just be walking and I see them. It is so strange. My husband calls it the worlds most worthless talent, but don't let him fool you as I know he is secretly jealous. Try as he might, he has yet to find one, ever. It is such a pleasure to be on a walk with him and at the end, hand him a small bouquet of various sized 4 leaf clovers :) Maybe this St. Patrick's day I will finally put them to good use on some cards or something.

 It was great getting to know you, Cristy!

Treasury Challenge: Raceytay

I've been a little behind lately. as in really behind. We are redoing our kitchen and our bathroom downstairs. But today I've been working on the basement. I decided I wanted to learn how to tile everything myself. I can say now I can tile bathrooms and backsplashes and floors and replace floors. and refinish cabinets. I am in love with my tile saw, but my husband understands.

I still need new art for the kitchen. So I decided this week's item challenge should feature something I have been thinking about buying: a beautiful print from Raceytay's etsy shop. I need an 8 by 10 and a coordinating print.
maybe your treasury could have a coordinating print.
or not.

Wednesday Treasury Challenges feature an item and Saturday challenges feature a theme. Theses challenges help you get better at making treasuries. After we narrow it down, we open voting to everyone. The Prize? You get advertising on our little curation nation blog!
