Wonderland wedding treasuries

One of the ways you can shop on etsy and with the Etsytwitter team is through treasuries. When you go to the etsy home page hit buy and find the button that says treasuries. Once you get to the treasuries page you can narrow it down with one of Etsy's newest features for the treasuries: TAGS!! In the search box above the treasury list (make sure its on treasury search) just type in "Etsytwitter team", "Etsytwitter" or "twitterteam". A list of our treasuries will pop up for you from our members.

You can always just type in the name of the shop you are looking for to see their favorite pick example "Jenco13" will bring up just my treasuries.

Another way to look at that one shops picks is to scroll down under the treasury where there is a post by the creator. Under that you will find a button that says "View Jenco13 other treasury list".

Below are two of the wedding treasuries our team has put together for this special event. Just click on the treasury picture and it will take you right to that treasury.

Are Your Ears Sensitive to Metals?

Many people have sensitivities to metals and the jewelry that's made out of them. If you're one of them, there are some things that you can try that may just get you back into that pair of earrings you so love!


You can experiment to find out what you CAN wear!

EXPERIMENT:
First, Let your ears heal. If you have extreme sensitivities, check with your doctor first.

Always clean new earring posts/earwires with rubbing alcohol. Then you can try out earrings made with the different types of quality metals: sterling, 14K gold filled (or 14K gold), and, if necessary, argentium silver. Wear each one for a day to see if your ears still react to the metal. (At the FIRST sign of irritation, take the earrings OFF! If you think you have an infection, be sure to check with your doctor.)

You can also try dipping an irritating earwire in clear fingernail polish. Be sure to let them dry thoroughly before you put them in your ears!

Once you find what works for you, you can
* have a jewelry artist replace the earwires of your favorite earrings with earwires that work, or even
* order a special pair of earwires from which you can hang
your earring dangles!

For step by step instructions and some additional information, you can check out my blog on this topic. If you'd like me to help you with the experimentation, you can convo me through my Etsy shop. I'd be happy to help!
