Go Fly a Kite! (No, really!)

I was recently contacted by talented Etsy Artist Salt and Paper about how and why I make treasuries. She was kind enough to include my thoughts in this wonderful article for Etsy's Storque. If you've never created a treasury of your own before, this article might inspire you to curate you own! It's such a joy to share the work of the talented folks on Etsy, a wonderful way to stretch your own curatorial muscles and also derive fresh inspiration. I'm constantly jotting down ideas for new lists.

Here is a Kite Treasury I'd been assembling before our sudden move. Sadly, left to languish in my poster sketch, many have now expired. Here are a few that remain, still timely for the beautiful summer weather we are finally having here in Minnesota.



I'm lusting after absolutely every item by JulianaBright. Wouldn't this be a delightful gift for a Mother?



This print reminded me of a patchwork of kites in the sky- almost creating a quilt in flight.

This image reminded me of a very fanciful childrens picture book.



This graphic hoodie is just one of many super hip looks by Brooklyn based designer Ruffeoheartslilsnotty. (What a mouthful! Etsy, please give us spaces in our user names!)

This necklace stole my heart too- I think I'd wear it all summer long!
This shot reminded me of a Chinese doll house. Can you make out if it's a miniature or not? Now I think I've got to go out and find a kite to fly this afternoon while the sun is still shining! What about you? Any big plans for the weekend?
