Well, here's a proper inaugural post:

I love making Treasuries on Etsy - it's like making a personalised window display - but they of course always expire too soon! So, here's a selection of lovely things on the theme of Women in Art, featuring art by or about women, because they deserve to be seen as much as possible. (Edit: I don't mean *women* deserve to be seen as much as possible, I mean this art does. Oh, you knew what I meant.)

Camouflage by mookiejones: no, it's not a metaphor for women's studies (well, I guess it could be if you perform a metaphorical squint, I don't know), but it's painted by a woman, and it's stunning.
