A Treasury for the New Year!

This treasury is inspired by the new years resolutions that we all try to hold to- I know we don't all make it to the end, but maybe this year, instead of making a resolution that feels like a huge challenge, instead remember that you can never prevent change. Everything is always changing- ironically, that's the only thing that stays the same. So realize that you are always changing, and simply try to direct that change to where some of your resolutions might lie. Here we go 2011!

Wishing you all the best changes this year!

Treasury Tuesday! Rainbow Tree

Today's treasury is the result of a random search. I used the search term "Rainbow Tree" and picked my 16 favourites. At a time of year when the leaves have mostly fallen and nature's favourite theme is overcast and grey to remind us that winter is coming, we all might need a little more colour in our lives. Enjoy browsing through these wonderful artists and their colourful work!

Treasury Tuesday! "Movember I Salute You!"

Well, it's November. Or as it has been dubbed in recent years, "Movember"- the month of the mustache. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this new tradition, men who choose to participate grow a mustache this month in support of men's health in general, and also to help open up a dialogue about testicular and prostate cancer. So support the guys this month! And if you find yourself on the arm of a participant, love him for growing such a ridiculous thing on his face in support of a good cause ;) And if you want to participate without growing a 'stache, well, I have some ideas for you in this ticklish treasury.

For some extra fun, here's a photo of my sweetie Jim and the 'stache he just started sporting!

 James, my fiance, has sacrificed his standard beard for a ridiculously awesome Movember 'stache.

If you want to learn more about what Movember is all about, check out the official website: Movember Worldwide. Happy Mustache Month!

Treasury Tuesday! "All Hallow's Eve"

I spent a long time searching for all of the amazing items in this spooky and macabre treasury. I wanted a Hallowe'en themed treasury that went beyond costumes, clothing, and traditional Hallowe'en colours and captured the essence of where this fun day came from. The shops featured here have beautiful pieces (or in some cases, services). Give it a click and enjoy your browsing!
