Hello, hello, and happy Tuesday, my fellow Vesties! This week I thought we’d all put a pep in our step with some bright, bold colors! Summertime is such a bright, warm, happy time when anything goes color-wise. White and creams feel like a classy resort retreat, pastels capture the light-hearted feel of the season, bold brights celebrate the playfulness of summer, and neons help us show a bit of our wild side!

This week’s winner’s shop, TheVintageRhino, is full of all kinds of vintage goodies in bright, bold shades that will be sure to inspire! Ivory luggage perfect for a summertime trip, bold bangles and baubles to add a pop to your Summer wardrobe, and hot-hued housewares to bring a bit of summer’s bright, beautiful colors inside!
So, what do you say we put our creativity to use to create a color wheel of fun? This week’s theme is ‘Crazy for Color!’ – and it’s all about finding a palette that inspires and amazes! Pick your favorite summertime color and create a collection around it, or make a rainbow of hues! And don’t forget the big shots at Etsy are really into peach, mint green, neon and nude combos.

But before you go all pantone on me, there are a few rules to follow:
The challenge starts right… NOW! And it runs through Sunday night – the entry thread will be closed early Monday morning, so get ’em in by then!
Please make sure your treasury follows the theme ‘Crazy for Color!’.
It is important that you include (6) Vestie team members, and try to include some of the new members! Use the sidebar on the blog for a list of team shops. New members can be found in the New Team Member Section of the Team Member Page.
– All sixteen squares must be filled… and they must still be filled on Monday when the judge is making his or her decision. Please double-check your treasury Sunday night to make sure everything’s where you left it.
– Don’t include any items from your own shop.
– Put a link to the blog post in the comments of your treasury. This helps other people find the challenge and enter!
(Blog post found here: vintageetsysociety.blogspot.com/ )
And if you’re a Vesties team member…
– Post the link to your treasury on the challenge thread, right here!
– Please click and comment on the five treasuries posted before yours (if you’re one of the first five, stop back later and do some commenting).
The challenge is open to all!
