Julia of Juliaheartfelt http://www.etsy.com/shop/juliaheartfelt, is WA Street team member and an avid treasury curator having curated close to 350 treasuries, 55 of those have been featured on the Australian Etsy home/front page! Julia has been kind enough to share some Treasury making secrets: WOW! I’ve survived my first year of being an etsy shop owner but not without masses of help and support and the generosity of many fellow WA street team members. As a little payback I thought I would offer a few insights into the world of “treasuries” for the newbies in the team. Treasuries in case you didn’t know are a collection of 16 items from different shops usually with a connecting theme. It’s just a case of going to the ”create a list” on the treasury page and then copying and pasting the url of the item you select in each compartment. With the introduction of Etsy Australia my main goal is to get my treasuries onto the Front Page. There is a certain criteria required for this. Now I may not have it exactly right but this is what I work to. All the products you choose must be currently for sale and delivered to Australia.
Just remember treasuries are a great tool to have in your arsenal. I was recently lucky enough to have one of my items listed on the US front page. This item received hundreds of hits and was sold within hours of its listing. If you are really struggling to get you product seen, treasuries may be an answer. This is my latest Front Page treasury, On the front page of Etsy Australia on Saturday 16th February at around 10am: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTEwNTk4ODJ8MjcyMzk1ODQ2MA/make-it-metallic ABOUT JULIA
Julia works with Nuno felted silk scarves and pure silk products. She has recently added a new range of hand dyed silk scarves for the warmer climes. Julia is a recently retired mother of 5 and grandmother of 10 grandchildren ranging in ages from 4 to 18. The realization that she could blend silk fabric with Australian merino wool and silk fibres to create a new and unique fabric – an adaptation of the ancient art of felting which was initially invented by Australian textile artist Polly Stirling – lead to the creation of Juliaheartfelt.
