♥ Flower Wheels Earrings ♥

I found this little cardboard box, is not beautiful, but makes a special light to my photos, and a natural sepia color, I really like them!
I am also pleased, in this shadow area of the window, I made this picture yesterday with a gray day, and the photos came too special ...
I believe that I can not worry about winter coming and the bad days, maybe I just fear that froze my window, LOL, but I decided that I will not do the light box!
My photos are changing as the weather and the seasons, this summer were all colorful, with pink flower and white vase, in tune with the banner of my current shop, I am undecided whether to continue to make colorful pictures or make everything homogeneous, with a unique color like this ... I want to decide calmly, but maybe I need also, some advice and criticism ...
so I ask you: What picture do you like most?
my photos colored with pink flower (Click here for an example)
or with a single color, like this?

♥ Snowflake Copper earrings ♥

I need it or Just want it?

Elastic HeadBand by ApeZoppa

This week I spotted this headband, very original!
I know this shop for some time, is an Italian girl of my team, but the headband must be new because I just noticed, and I love it!
Green or brown? I like both, but brown is perhaps less extravagant with my dark hair ...
perhaps it would be a nice Christmas present for me or my sister ...
is an accessory truly original, and you can wear it all day or go out at night ... I love it so much!

What is the thing that you want for Christmas?

some lucky news ...

What luck! I won a giveaway!
For a whole month, Lovely Clusters hosts my shop for free!
You can view it here
and there is another nice novelty, now you can make your very own lovely cluster!
All you have to do is find nine images that you think would look nice together, and add them here
They can be images from anywhere on the internet!
I've already done one, let's see if it is accepted!

As you can see in this screen shoot, my Lollishop is full of new items, but I still have many items to add ... look here
I'm looking forward to reach my supplies in order to create something new that I have in mind for weeks ... if they still very slow in coming, my ideas fade away ...
I bought some cute accessories to decorate my packages for the arrival of the holidays, so if someone wants to make a gift package with a nice Christmas note, here I have everything ready! I'm so excited to receive them ...
just get everything in my mailbox I'll show you my packages preview ...
paper and ribbons are more expensive than I usually use to pack my sales , in fact I could use them only on request ... but for a special gift, this and more ...

is just the beginning ...

What was your most successful sales event or product, and why do you think it was?
I state that I am a young Etsy seller, so I still have much to learn... but I also share with you my little successes, my experience and what I was excited ...
-I believe that the best item sold, was "Paris Bracelet" to follow, owl ring, owls earrings, flower earrings, flowering bracelet, and many of the new collections ...
these items, as long as customers like them, I want to continue to produce...
-The event that brought me more sales and has increased my hearts were: the front page of etsy, the treasures, but especially the "weekend deals" ...
I was featured in a weekend storque article in newsletters and in the Etsy gift guide, was a complete success, 19 sales in just two days, WOW amazing I had never happened, just out of the newsletter, I immediately sold the item featured and then to follow other sales yet, and 40-50 hearts in a few hours ...
For me this was my greatest success, and now I am taking part in all promotions of etsy, hoping they will still include my shop, in another article ...
-Another success was in July, the month of my birthday, I did a promotion which lasted throughout the whole month, and it took me a lot of sales, my shop had not yet taken flight, so it was an emotion each sale ...
-I think that sometimes we must make the promotion, because people are discouraged by the cost of shipping, they would not pay if they went into a store, so a promotion attracts people ...
but the most important thing is the patience, you must update the store every day with new items, or be more active as a member of Etsy ...
this is what I have learned so far... what is your experience?

"The photos speak" game is back!
this time different, the theme is always "tells something about you"
who wants to participate should just give me the link of a blog post, about you, your creative space, your hobbies, any thing you want to tell, and then I'll make a postblog with all links of the various narratives, such as a blog carnival, and I'll put all photos collected from various blogs!
some mini photo with the words of the title of your story
will be very fun and beautiful, though many will participate
read the stories of all it is very nice

the lettering in the picture I will do, with picnic, but if someone wants to do no problem
the lettering will be slightly larger

everyone can participate, simply send me the link in my email sumikoshop@gmail.com
or in a blog comment or in my etsy shop
This is an example of what will come out!

all you have to do is write a blog, as always, usually, only that sometimes you can publish your blog post that you like on my blog, just give me the link,
and then I think of all !!

the next will be published when I have enough stories to tell ... and who sees the blog post already published and want to participate, do not worry, I'll add your story!

If you want to see what it was before "The photos speak" here are some posts: Click Here

What you are waiting, send me your story!!

Home Decor

house ornament with lovely letters by Syko

felted wool acorns by lilfishstudios

The Winter Love Inspiration Apple.
Fairytale Plush for Grownups by Lapomme

Set of three tiny heart bowls by redhotpottery

There is plenty of choice!
These are just some things that I found on Etsy, to decorate the house, where to start?
I would buy every one of these for my living room so empty ...
with my son around the house can not hold decorations or vases ...
I think some of these are to prevent breakage!
They are also ideal for a Christmas Gift or other festivity ...

♥ Birdcage Daisy Necklace ♥

I love this theme, woodland, animals, forests, leaves, birds, owls ....
many of my creations have these little characters ... My obsession with owls and flowers, however, is not finished, there will be something new for the winter with flowers, and some surprises ... also, some things other than jewelry..... heehe....
meantime enjoy my new collections:
