The Treasure Hunt. Get yer entries in o walk the plank!

Pretty glistening treasure! Harrrrrr!

The last clue has been published on our facebook page and the first entries have already sailed in!

So exciting! Who will take the booty home?????????????????

Jacob is taking his judge role rather seriously, and has already got his outfit together...

So to recap and to nudge those who got lost on the way or have been chased away by the sea monster, here are the eight clues!

1. "Toe is to foot as Finger is to ...."
2. "Woolly Junk Food"
3. "To Squeeze your Mail"
4.  "A Tree associated with Chinoisere, Chinese Vases and an Irish Spring. Captured in art form on the body" 
5. "Explosion of Colour" (hint: Irish word)
6.  "A Sly Shopping Centre" 
7. "A highly polished jungle woman"
8. "I love sewing in squares"  

These clues will lead you to the shops where the secret words are hidden (which are amazing to look at!)
Use the drop-down shop directory list here on the blog to help you find the shops. Once you have discovered the words, rearrange them into a sentence, and whisper the sentence into my ear at purlsofcolour [at] googlemail.com by 23.59 (11.59pm) on 16 March (GMT). 

Jacob says he'll be lenient to stragglers who journeyed across timezones to get to the loot and are slightly late, but once the woolly hat comes out, that's it!

Good luck to everybody - the voyage is hard, but there is a haul of swag waiting for one lucky winner!

Participation in the Etsy Ireland St Patrick's Day Treasury Hunt is simple, but the task is challenging... *drumroll*

Starting 8 March, we will post a clue every day on www.facebook.com/etsyireland which will lead to a team member's shop. Find the word hidden in one of their pictures and at the end of the hunt, rearrange the words into a proper sentence.

Links to all Crafty Ireland team members' shops can be found on this blog in the drop down list under directory on the left.

After the last clue has been posted on 15 March, please email your sentence to me, Purls, at purlsofcolour [at] googlemail.com

The deadline for submissions is 16 March  at 11.59pm (23:59h) GMT. On St Patrick's Day, I will pull a name out of one of my woolly hats, watched by no other than the impartial bear, Judge Jacob.

Mo, who is collecting the donations from team members all over Ireland, will then be posting the treasure to the lucky winner.

Participation is open to everyone except the Treasure Hunt organisers (Letizia, Purls, Nadine and Suzie). Just to clarify, you do NOT have to be a member of the Etsy Ireland team to take part.

In the most unlikely event that there is a problem with a prize (ie one of the donations might not arrive at Mo's in time/gets lost in the post), it may be substituted with something equally gorgeous! So no worries...

Enjoy hunting for treasure and pleasure!!!

Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone!
