I am in love with the vendor apron I bought from OriginalsbyLauren for this years apple season.  I wear it the entire time I am at the store and farmer’s market.  It makes me  feel like I am in charge for some reason.  It’s also great for holding my labels, pens, and other miscellaneous items I may need.  I haven’t quite figured out how to do the money thing without it flying everywhere (I still use my box…) but sometime…maybe when it’s not so windy….  

I think it will also work really well at the craft shows I plan on doing this coming November.  It really goes well with the rest of the items I sell and I have gotten lots of compliments already!

Apple season has started to pick up a bit for me this week but I managed to snag a couple of treasuries yet.  I think I’ll be able to do it as long as get my poster sketches made up in advance…the rest is all about timing. 

I hope you enjoy this weeks edition of treasury Saturday!Treasury Name:  Red

Now that I’m off to the farmer’s market on Tuesday’s and Saturday’s it’s on my mind a lot and seemed like a fun theme for this week.

One thing that has really come in handy has been the vendor aprons I’ve gotten from OriginalsbyLauren.

I think it would be great if I could get my father-in-law to wear the Firefighter Vendor Apron to the markets…but I don’t think that will happen…

I bought a cute fall themed banner from corrcreations that I  hang on my tent to give it that little extra edge.  I’ve received a lot of compliments on it already!

This cloth market bag  from RosyUndPosy would be perfect for walking around and collecting all your goodies in!

The description says it all about these eco friendly produce bags from ficklefaerie…

And of course…we can’t forget about the kiddo’s!  How much fun will they have with  this Farmer’s Market Veggie Basket from bugbitesplayfood!?

 

I hope you enjoy your local farmer’s market!  I would love to hear what your favorite stand to visit is!  Mine is Sassy Cow lately…a dairy farm that sells ice cream…so yummy!

Here’s the keyword list from last week. I find these by searching through the flickr account…anyone can do this whenever they are interested. It’s also a great way to see your things on front page if you missed it while it was actually up there.

Don’t forget to to see the themes/keywords that the Etsy Merchandising Team has laid out in advance go to the Storque article:

This will also be very helpful!  

I changed the list up a bit…I have now made it into two categories:  Keyword Search and Inspired by.

Hope this helps!

I know what you mean, but etsy has put too many Halloween inspired front pages up for me to ignore it any longer.  I do LOVE Halloween, but I also think August is a bit early for it :) 

I put Halloween charm earrings up at theApple.  They are some fun little charms I found and made into earrings.  Not my most creative earrings but they are fun and festive for my favorite holiday!  Each pair is $7.50 and I only have one of each.  If you see something you like I wouldn’t wait too long to get it!

Trick Or Treat Charm Earrings Friendly Ghost Charm Earrings Spooky Eye Charm Earrings Spider Web Charm Earrings Creepy Spider Charm Earrings Candy Corn Charm Earrings RIP Tombstone Charm Earrings Jack O Lantern Charm Earrings Black Cat Charm Earrings  Skull and Crossbones Charm Earrings

I would love to hear if you have a favorite? 

Also, do you or your  family have any fun Halloween traditions you do every year?  Since we live in the country we have to ‘borrow’ a neighborhood in a nearby town to take the girls trick or treating!

I’m going to do a new layout for my treasury Saturday.  It’s more formal and would love to hear your opinions on it.  I’ll try this way for a few weeks but if I hear enough feedback that I should go back to the old style I’ll be more than happy to switch back.  I just think this might be a quicker way during apple season…we’ll see :)Curator:    KarolsVintageArt
