A New Treasury by Prospero Joe

The light seemed right this morning, so I grabbed the camera to shoot some new jewelry.  And while I was working on that project, Joe snagged a Treasury West.

All his picks are by members of Team Etsy Project Embrace.

It's been a difficult week for our team, with one devastating loss and a number of illnesses diagnosed or suffered. But it's also been a week of triumph -- several treasuries by our members, and a number of our items too, made it to Etsy's Front Page.  One of our members has an item in the Etsy Voter; another has reopened her shop after her first successful chemotherapy session.

To celebrate the life of our lost teammate, to lend support to those who are ill or troubled, and to rejoice in the happy events, Joe named his treasury "A Week in the Life of Team Etsy Project Embrace," and linked it to our team thread on the Etsy forums.

I'm so proud of that treasury of his, I've posted it here.

It will be live on Etsy.com until 7:05 p.m. Monday, April 26.  Till then, to view all the items and visit the featured shops, please click here!

Pak Dogol Makes the Front Page!

Oh, look what happened tonight!  Old Pak Dogol, that crude and lusty clown puppet, who long ago escaped from the Malaysian shadow theatre and traveled halfway around the world to Joe's shop, made it to the front page on Etsy!

Many thanks Laura!

This website makeover is not for the fainthearted ...

... but that's what I've been doing the past couple of days.

For a while I was thinking I'd combine my neglected website with Joe's equally neglected website, but when I finally got motivated to move my jewelry to a corner of his bookshop ... well, I just couldn't seem to make it fit.

So instead, I'm keeping my website.  I've gotten attached to it after all.

But while poking around Joe's musty site, I realized it needed a massive overhaul.

I've learned so much online since his site went up in the fall of 2007, it seemed like it would be a snap to give it a quick update. With Joe's kind permission I said I'd take care of it.  Why not?

Why not indeed.  Joe has over 300 books listed over there (most of them 19th and early 20th century theatre books, plays and memoirs), in addition to what he has in his Etsy shop.  And they all need new photos, new descriptions, new tags, new ... everything.  Good grief!

After two days at it, this is the page I've finished.  One page down, 30 to go.


I still believe I can do it. Sometime this century. Maybe.

Meanwhile, if you wonder where I've gone, you can find me up to my ears in old books at Feedback Theatrebooks.

If you're in the neighborhood, please drop in for a chat.
But remember, bring your own feather duster ...
