Highlights of the first 500 clues of the SPST Scavenger Hunt!

In January 2014 the "Join the Scavenger Hunt" was created in the SPS Team Forum on Etsy. The rules of the game are simple : you must find an item that answers the clue given by the person above you in the thread. Once you have posted an item (not from your own shop), post a new clue for the next person to find.

Since the beginning of the Scavenger Hunt, we have given and answered over 660 clues!! And we're still counting!

Here is a friendly and non-exhaustive recap of the first 500 clues on the SPST Scavenger Hunt!

PRESENTED TO YOU BY OUR LEADER: 

My name is Natalie. I am a French-Canadian gal, but I live in South Korea. My passion is called "Hanji" : sumptuous Korean paper made of mulberry pulp. Hanji has been used for a thousand years in Korea to create decorative or ceremonial objects. For me, it is essential to offer useful and practical objects, that can enjoyed on a daily basis. Tissue cases, pen holders, jewelry, fridge magnets, hair accessories: let the beauty and unique character of Hanji paper make our everyday life objects irresistible!            www.etsy.com/shop/HanjiNaty Follow Natalie's Blog For The Latest Updates To Her Shop: www.hanjinaty.com
