Fabricgreetings chose this pendant fom JewelsbyJakimi's shop

"I really like the definition pendants from JewelrybyJakemi..They just seem to reach out and touch a special spot of my soul. It is really hard to select a favorite, but sister one has special meaning "

"I think Robin's tote reflects the Memorial theme so well. The attention to details with the design of stripes, stars, and colors are amazing!"

 Sewsouk said

"My favorite if from KPTography's shop. I think the use of the software designed for quilters to make this kaleidoscope effect is so cool. I love that the pattern is made up of the natural blues and greens of the wild bluebells in the original photo. I had a kaleidoscope as a child and loved daydreaming and making wonderful intricate patterns. This beautiful notecard reminds me of that time"

RobinsFlight said

"I think I like this dainty little necklace best of the items in the treasury because of its simplicity." This is from onelifejewelry's shop

KPTograpghy says

"I love these stitch markers from Jeanie B. Its a great way to remind me (even when I'm dropping stitches or battling a cat who thinks the yarn if for her) that I love to knit and love knitting for friends and family. "

"I've purchased several of Fabric's lovely cards, and kept a couple for my own enjoyment! Each is a work of art. She has a keen eye for color and design, which is why she is also so adept at putting together such wonderful treasuries. It's difficult to chose a favorite from her shop, but this one caught my eye because it is so cheerful and pretty"

FabricGreetings:

 "Robin has some great crocheted bags in her shop. The variety of sizes is wonderful". This is her favorite. She thinks it would add a pop to all the denim jumpers and white shirts she wears

Aloha : loves Robin's clutches- she likes the attention to detail and the beautiful colours. This one she thinks is so pretty.

 Marie said

"Robin has the most amazing bags. They are so well made with great attention to detail! Her photos are wonderful, too." This is one of her favourites. She thinks it's great for summer parties.

Jeanie thinks  Robin's organiser wallets are perfect for a day out or shopping.

Sewsouk ( that's me!)
  said  "I was sorely tempted to choose a wallet or card case as I really like their design and Robin makes them in such great colours but in the end I decided to choose the crossover messenger bag. I love that you can custom order the outside and inside as you want on this one" This is my favourite

April said

 "I love Robin's shop! I think my favorite is her trapezoid bags I think they would be great for an evening bag and also for just carrying around every day!"
