Hello, friend, and welcome!

This is the Etsy Community’s gift for you…

A group of our community members have created Treasuries, which are collections of Etsy items, each with a theme that’s inspiring to its creator. We’re featuring these on the Front Page of Etsy with the hope that you will be inspired, too!

The presentation started at 6PM (Eastern U.S. time) December 24th, and will end at 12 noon, December 26th. You can see them here:

My original intent was to choose a small group of Treasuries to display today. However, as I started to look through them, I found that each was wonderful in its own way because it reflects the unique perspective of the person who made it. I realized that the true art of this project would be to find a place for them all, since they all have something to give.

The Treasury curators posted their creations in this thread:
www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5967534

Alas, I was only able to get up to page 25 of the thread, because I didn’t have enough time! Please take a look at the others, since they are wonderful as well!

I’ve arranged these into eight groupings, in an order that’s inspiring to me:

CHRISTMAS EVE, DECEMBER 24
SECTION 1: Pre-existence 6-9PM
SECTION 2: Need and Desire 9PM-12AM

CHRISTMAS DAY, DECEMBER 25
SECTION 3: Security, Family and Etsy Wishes 12AM - 6AM
SECTION 4: Love, Hope, and Charity 6AM-12PM
SECTION 5: Science, Religion and Inspiration 12PM - 6PM
SECTION 6: The Future 6PM - 8PM
SECTION 7: Ultimate Love 8PM -12AM

DECEMBER 26
SECTION A: Colors: the Beyond 12AM - 12 noon

Please enjoy! Here is the list of Treasuries:
