Sleeves against cancer…

 

I have thought about giving you the possibility to create a even more spevial sleeve, since choosing one of THIS 3 special fabrics you can help the search against the cancer: for every sleeve produced with these fabrics, 25% of the cost will be devolved to the search and it will be my care to send you a copy of the receipt of the payment…take a look!

Shining Tuesday Morning…

I have new nice items to feauture today… but the situation is hard this morning…. I can’t keep open my eyes… I should go to bed earlyer, but what can I say? …the web is so rich and full of appealing things!

So, let’s go starting… (I’m not sure this is correct in english… :) )

I want to spend some few words about jewellery on Etsy: they are too much!

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5806528Jewellery field is really congested and I can understand that jewellery’s sellers are living hard times…. I think that to have success you have to propose very particular items….or you have to reduce prices and promote yours creations with discounts. But I think also that most of us loves to change her jewellery every day, matching them with the dress or with the own mood… isn’t so? Take a look at this etsy store, there are many items you can surely afford, so you can have more choises and select right earrings for every occasions…

 
If instead you are searching for an amazing necklace you can, at the same time, show off this magic item and help Liberian Children. This thanks to a Phyllis Mufson’s laudable initiative. She is a jewelry artisan and a career consultant and certified life coach, but most importantly She’s the first supporter of her husband Bill’s project…
Liberia is now recovering from a 12 year civil war in which 300,000 people died and the infrastructure of the country was destroyed. There are many children who have been left orphaned and homeless and in great need of help. Bill is working with a non-governmental organization and a group of expatriate Liberians to develop projects to improve the conditions in Liberian orphanages. To fund his efforts all profits from Phyllis’ jewelry businesses will be devoted to Bill’s upcoming trip to Liberia, so take a look at her stores, you can found items more or less affordable, but all items are elegant and refined… with one of these jewellery you obviusly will get yourself notice!

Lunatique Art…

I’ve used seller’s name to give a title at this post and at this new category… (I hope she won’t get angry…) because I think that Art MUST be Lunatique, otherwise it CAN’T be Art!

You have to spend some few minutes for this artist and take a look at her works…

Seller said:”This stunning lady is dancing and swaying and letting her leaves fly whispfully about her. This original work is painted using a palette knife technique creating gorgeous textural qualities in the metallic acrylic. The leaves are done with corrugated metal leaf.”

This paint is really a fresh air’s blow for me … closed in this room…it remind me sunny spring’s afternoons and then it’s so ZEN…. I love it.

Lazy Monday Etsy Promotion…

It’s a very lazy autumnal September Monday…. and I woul like to focus your attention on some particular etsy’s items I’ve found today….

The fist is this woman’s baseball hat…

I think that its name can prevaricate you…Have you look at it attentively?

It’s not a sporting hat! It’s very cool and the colour is fantastic!  It’ is soft with no plastic in the visor, so it can easily be packed in your bag when you aren’t wearing it.

Image it with a same color scarf and a dark coat… irrisistible….

 

If you are instead interested in sporting, you’ll probably like the second today’s item.

It is a Football Pillow and have several uses..for exampe you can put it on your sofa, your husband will be certainly happy … or you can use it to play with your zippy dog… or your cat could enjoy itself in the next long winter days (but in this case I suggest you to remove all breakable ornament from your living room… ;) )…

And your baby…? It could be delicious for his/her baby tooth !

 

 Are you searching for a little present that you really can find nowhere?

I’ve the item for you… it’s a small Bali Exotic Sea Shell Ocean Pendant:

Seller said: “Its made from original shell from Bali beach which combined with glass fiber and resin on it, the result is bright,colorful and very exotic design of pendant which remind us the beach and the sand. Its very suitable for necklace or key chain pendant for summer design.”

Great idea borneodiva ! Who doesn’t dream Bali’s beaches now that summertime is so far away…..?! (Almost here in my hemisphere….!)

Finally in this store you can find a BUY 2 GET 1 FREE section, don’t miss it!

Saturday Night Promotions

It’s saturday night here in Italy and it would be time to go bed…

But I’m wandering in etsy stores and I’ve found that…

It’s a totally recycled magazine bowl.. and in my opinion it’s a great idea. 

Immage this bowl on your living room, fill of colorfull candy, it would be a touch of modern elegance!

 

 

Well done twinRobotlove ! It’s the best intentive to recycling I’ve ever seen!

 

And what about these curios Clam boxes?

To tell the truth at the first time I can’t understand what they are… but I’ve discovered they are really usefull for many applications: you can use them for storing jewellery, pills, candies and more! You can open them like a clam, just squeeze the pointed sides.

And have you think to use them to hide a little precious gift for a very special occasion ?

It’s only a suggestion…

I don’t know how to start this blog…

I really don’t know how to start… I’ve started a website, I’ve started an Etsy-Store… but a blog… what about a blog ?!

I could introduce myself…my name is Paola and I’m Italian…yes, Italian…

Why do I open an english-blog ? To learn … and to meet people from everywhere in the world!

So, please be patient, I’m sorry for my bad english.. and when I’ll write something really wrong, I would be REALLY happy if someone could correct me ! ;)

My favorite hobbies are travels, handmade creations and photography, so in this blog probably the most of post will be about these arguments.

Follow me in this new adventure!

And don’t forget to visit my and all others wonderful Etsy-store!
