Front Page Tags/Themes for January 1st-7th

It has been awhile since I took a look at the front page themes/tags on Etsy and Artfire and I thought this would be a great week to see if there were any trends emerging. I definately noticed the trend towards neutrals,which was mentioned in Etsy's January Merchandising Desk article, although I am looking forward to seeing some of the other colours mentioned as well (Cozy neutrals, taupe, oatmeal, turquoise, aqua, saffron, deep red, metallics). On Artfire the front pages were much brighter with a mixture of colours emerging, although I did notice several pink or red ones. Here are some of the front page themes/tags for the week of January 1st-7th:
