Anhoki's Place's Finds on Etsy

I'm starting something new with this little space I occupy on the internet.  

I LOVE making soap and I love talking about it but "I" can only do that for so long.  I start to get bored...then I get uninspired.  THAT is a bad thing.  

I love making treasuries.  None of them EVER get picked for Etsy's front page.  HOWEVER...they are NO less beautiful or creatively concocted than those that do.  

SO, starting today, I will create a treasury each day and talk about it here.  I will have links to each shop featured so you can go and admire their creations first hand.  

I have been inspired to create after seeing something on Etsy's FP and or in a forgotten treasury or even Regretsy.  I love Regretsy too.  Who knows.  I may even fabricate my own Anhoki's Regretsy Treasuries here.  Anything to be inspired and bring to life shops who house beautiful and interesting items.  

SO, with that I give you the first
