Treasury Tuesday-Wizard of Oz

While watching my newest tv show obsession: Syfy’s Hollywood Treasure; which follows a crew of auctioneer as they seek out pop culture items and props, they came across the original hat from the Wicked Witch of the West. I haven’t seen The Wizard of Oz in years, though I went through an obsession as most of us have. I was re-introduced to that obsession in a way, once I had that child like excitement return while seeing the original hat. Not to mention the actual courage medal given to the Cowardly Lion, and a meeting with the actual lollipop kid! While I know I’ll never get my hands on treasures like those, that doesn’t mean there aren’t one of a kind items just as awesome as those, that aren’t quite as difficult to come by. So I set out on the yellow brick road leading straight to Etsy to discover the wonders held within, and that is exactly how this treasury came to be!

I remember when my boyfriend first revealed out relationship to his family, his mother said she had but one question to ask me, and it was a very important question. After weeks of fretting over what it could possibly be, it turned out to be “Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?”. Not only did I feel super relieved that she wasn’t going to base her approval on my solution to world peace, I was excited that this was obviously the beginning of a beautiful friendship. After all, you can tell a lot about a person by the movies and music they reference. In my experience if someone quotes The Wizard of Oz to you, it’s immediately a good sign. So far my theory has not let me down, and I don’t imagine it ever will.

Some may think it’s outdated, and let me tell you, just because something is quoted for decades does not mean it’s charm fades. I know first hand how easy it is to dismiss something once it becomes over-exposed, but Wizard of Oz is one of the few exceptions. When you can watch something 20 years or more after your first viewing, and still have every bit of excitement come flooding back, it deserves every bit of exposure. The genius that is The Wizard of Oz has yet to be matched. IT was revolutionary in its time, and it still remains just as awe-inspiring as before. I am excited to bring you this wonderful treasury, filled with handmade items I would love to have in my possession. Every last magical piece!
