"When I travel I always visit people not places.
And mostly those loving people bear
my travel expenses to see me.
I appreciate it immensely because this is
the only way I can travel at all.
Here you see me and some of my German and British
friends in Erfurt 05/2008."

Blog Carnival: Summer Shop Show & Tell

The current Blog Carnival theme for EtsyBloggers:
Show & tell: Summer line - what you will be
making/showing in your shop this summer...

For this summer I think I will give a completely
new look to my shop!
But I believe that some steps I have made:
-I bought a new camera, a Nikon D80, an investment,
but has already borne fruit,
the latest pictures of my shop is definitely better!
Now I must only renew the old photos ...
-I created a advertising banner to be included
in various blogs and sites, with project wonderful...
-and I have introduced new styles in my shop.

New projects:
- A new banner and avatar
- Accessories and jewelry more colorful
- A new collection with many flowers and roses
- New jewelry, always on, "tea time"
- And I believe that, I propose again, the old successes:
owl rings in different colors, heart necklaces,
and many things in black for the evening ...
- New promotions every month
- And many surprises and giveaways ...

♥ Stay connected with my shop !! ♥
