Curated Treasury: "Forest in Moonlight"

Our featured Etsy treasury, "Forest in Moonlight", is curated by Wincsike, an "optimistic dreamer" from Hungary. Wincsike's Etsy shop, Wincsike, features her handmade dream catchers, jewelry and accessories.

"I love simplicity, naturalness and beauty."

"I love the softness of yarn, the play on colors."

Wincsike uses yarn, fabric, leather, feathers and simple wooden
beads to design her dream catchers, jewelry and accessories. Why does Wincsike create dream catchers?

"The Ojibwe believe that a dreamcatcher changes a person's dreams. 'Only good dreams would be allowed to filter through… Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day. Good dreams would pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper.'

Seems to me like dreamcatchers came back in style. They are very decorative in the bedroom or even nursery."

Please take the time to browse Wincsike on Etsy.

We also encourage you to take the time to visit the shops of the artists featured in this treasury, explore the variety of their work, and learn more about them.

We hope you enjoy this treasury.


Etsy Treasuries have been an extraordinary opportunity to introduce us to new artists and shops.

We are pleased to be presenting just a small fraction of the fabulous Treasuries that have been curated by Etsy shop owners.

We encourage you to discover more Etsy Treasuries, and Etsy shops, on your own.

You can support Etsy shops online, all over the world, in your locality, or visit a shop, in person, at an event near you.

Curated Treasury: "Wishes and Desires"

Our featured Etsy treasury, "Wishes and Desires", is curated by Silvy Staly, from the Etsy shop, DolcheTodolche, in Sofia, Bulgaria.

In DolcheTodolche, Silvy Staly features one of a kind lamp shades to bring the magic of light into your home. Silvy makes all of her lampshades, with love and with .... some magic.

Silvy is a visual artist who describes herself as, "A dreamer in love with painting, and a person who wants to give some light to this world."

"When it's grey outside, when it's blue in our hearts ... on such days we need inspiration for life: we need signs, we need love and magic, we need some luck, a good word, we need the magic of Art."

Art, in Silvy's words, is passion, someone's inspiration coming into physical form, someone's emotions, someone's energy.

"In this world when everything is machine made, where the amount of plastic is greater than an ocean, where dreams are cheap, where every wish can be reached in the local hypermarket, where things don't have heart.....there ......we need Art."

Silvy's passion is lampshades. And the magic of light that she shares through DolcheTodolche is a wonderful gift that she is giving us all.

Please take the time to browse DolcheTodolche on Etsy.

We also encourage you to take the time to visit the shops of the artists featured in this treasury, explore the variety of their work, and learn more about them.
