Going out this evening?

my temporary Etsy avatar...

I've opened a Sale section in my shop today and decided to offer an approximately 17 % discount on little black evening purses.

On sale are Malina satin purse with silver embroidery, Lina velvet purse with golden lace, Mala small over shoulder purse and Moni satin drawstring pouch.

I've also played with my Etsy shop avatar a bit, I sometimes notice in forums that people use it as an advertising tool, I wonder if it realy helps...

New heart for my shop

I have been so engrossed in working on some new bag designs that I've completely forgotten about listing my hearts...

There are only two left, this one is called The Tree of Love and features a beaded wire tree on raw silk in deep red and plum purple. I thought it might be used as a christmas ornament so I've written the tags accordingly - it gave me an idea for some other christmas designs, but that is all I can say for now...

Ah, Paris...

Today I feel a bit nostalgic, looking through some old photo albums (well, picture folders, to be exact).

It has been a few years since my last visit to Paris but this pictures bring me straight back - the night we went to visit the Eiffel tower (but have never climbed to the top, the lines were just too long...), that summer afternoon when the sun came out after the rain and drew a magnificent raibow over the Arc de Triomphe, that unusually warm october evening when we dined in one of the tiny streets of Montmartre...

I hope we can go back soon!

Sunday treasury feature

This morning one of my hearts, the Winter romance, got featured in this lovely In the Mint'ime Treasury West by JemmDeeCreations. Mirna, who owns a jewelry shop on Esy, made this stunning minty fresh collection of items in lovely frosty shades of pale blue. Thank you!

And this evening my Cool, Calm and Collected treasury made the Front Page! I noticed it by accident when I checked my sellection and saw some FP related comments underneath - waiting in my Etsy conversations box were some encouraging convos as well so thank you everyone for liking it so much!
