I promised a shopupdate , the forecasted sun however , has not shown his face yet... Maybe later , this grey wetter is not good for taking pictures
I am working hard to get all orders finished. Five packages went to the postoffice today !! Still no internet and i am in dept for at least 80 emails and convo 's . Bear with me please , soon sooner soonest i'll catch up and make it all up to you with à stocked shop , sales and à giveway ! :)
it wasn't a sunny day as you can see, however it was fun and I had a great time! there was a big heavy cloud hanging over the netherlands , we were lucky with just a few drops and only at the end the cats and dogs. you could feel it in the atmosphere though. everyone was waiting for the storm to get on. hail, heavy wind, massive rain was all a possibility that day...
I met a lot of fellow etsiers and a good friend came to visit and brought some wine. haha . yes it was a great day. Matt from the etsy-berlin team came over for a visit to encounter the dutch. Very friendly happy guy and it was great to meet. In the evening there was a little gathering for dutchies on etsy but saddly I couldn't make it. My boy was just too tired, so we went home as soon as it was possible.
My friend jez, who I share a stand with, was very busy selling her great 'Supershirts' check it out here!
Another package is on it's way! I still find it amazing when a package arrives in for instants Hong Kong, Essen or Orleans.
I always go look in my atlas to see where it is, the place to wich something I made is going. The fact that thousand miles away someone is using/ wearing my work is so exciting and almost surreal. Somehow reality, much more then dreams or fantasy, surprise me and gives me the feeling I am in a fairytale. At the same time I feel more alive because of the energy that comes with it.
I spent many hours a week on thrifting, browsing the internet and attending fleemarkets to look for fabric, leather, thread, buttons etc etc. Yesterday was a great hunt!! I feel so lucky ever when I find something fabulous. This time it was two big big rolls of vintage fabric!
whuuut!!! can you believe it? I am in an Etsy voter!! today is the last day and already 29 people voted for me!! thank you all so much:)
It is incredible to see my work exposed this way and I had many compliments because of it. I feel like a star.
Today is the last day to vote. The changes I will win this voter are minimal, since the number one at this moment, Maria Goti Joyas, is about 60 votes ahead with exquisite work. ( I am number 24...) However I already feel so thrilled and lucky!
yesterday me , my little monster and my good friend Anita went into the woods
for some fresh air , sun and connection with mother earth. What a great
midday it was. We had a coffee on a terras with a little playground and we
could'nt have been more happy , all three of us!

Cold, snow, rain, wet feet: I'm fed up with king winter.
I want to pack light , hop on a train to a unknown destiny and explore.
I crave for a shot of abroad sensations
I bought this beautiful leather from a leather company. these are all leftover pieces but so gorgious with gold, silver and crazyville patterns!!
