In celebration of the many ways in which hispanics have contributed to a stronger country and celebrating the varying cultures within the hispanic community, I wanted to forward your attention to a very interesting website. Not only is this informative and interesting reading, but it underlines the pride every american should hold for living within a diverse community, promoting acceptance of different cultures and providing fuel to create further positive contributions to the entire world within every culture.

Happy Etsyversary! Bululu Studio

Join me in sending a hearty congratulations to Mariló, it is Bululu Studio's second anniversary on Etsy. Ever since joining the Spanglish Team on Etsy and meeting its co-founder, I have fallen in love with her interesting jewelry designs, recycled home decor, but my personal favorites are her robots. Her wonderful robot sculptures made from recycled paper, tins, buttons, and other materials reflect her powerful imagination and creativity driven by recycled products. Meet Rosita!

Also make sure to check out her Bululu Studio blog, with more information on her recycled creations, and other tidbits about being eco friendly, various etsy team events, and more.

Felicidades Mariló!!!

Glamorous Life, Revisited

I recently created a treasury on Etsy called The Glamorous Life, and through http://byhand.me I wanted to create a spotlight highlighting more favorites (love that its a permanent showcase of items, whereas the treasuries only last a few days), and here it is...

S'more Features

Piruli Jewelry is fabulously featured in the following treasuries :)

Fun Goodies -By BululuStudio
&
Silver Wood -By Yayahandicraft

As with all treasuries, these compilations are only active for a few days.

Both are curated by members of the Etsy Spanglish team, which you can follow on twitter via @SpanglishTeam, or visit our team blog, ETSY SPANGLISH. Its a wonderful group of artisans whom cherish both languages, english and spanish. There are many interesting stories, and lots of wonderful creations.

Jungle Love, OEEOOEEOH!

Yes, another treasury this one I made. Its fun, featuring lots of different things I love on Etsy. I think its dissappears after 8pm Eastern tonight. :( I'm gonna do this again on a regular Treasury. Treasury West I believe is the original Etsy test Treasury web application, created before the current version and still in existence, but not readily accessible through the homepage, just by those who know how to find it. Visit Craftopolis.com if you want a very useful Treasury Clock, and access to both Treasury and Treasury West.



Based on The Time's Jungle Love. and a wish/desire to see more colorful, full, wild treasuries featured on Etsy's front page.
