This treasury has so many amazing finds in it, I love the Sweet tooth Charlie print and the amazing grey knitted cap/cowl. I loved the way my item blended in perfectly with the red and mauve color palette - so unexpected, but it works. The whole treasury made me want to be a teen girl again, that's for sure!

Big hugs to everyone who participated in the challenge! Thanks to CatchSomeRaes for choosing my treasury, and thanks to Susan for guiding me through the process this week. It's been so much fun, and I enjoyed spending time with each of your gorgeous treasuries. Thanks for putting my little mittens in such wonderful company. I could tell that everyone really put thought and care into their collections.
I finally decided to choose "Weekend at the Cabin" by VeritasCrafts. Her treasury created such a peaceful, warm and romantic mood, and I felt drawn to that quiet cabin every time I revisited her treasury.
