I Dream Of:: Business

Today, I sent my eldest off o school and took on a playdate for my youngest who starts school on monday. Then, while best mates played, I devoted my afternoon to updating my Etsy site. I also chased my husband to fix my website so that I can get back into it and update my showcases. So far, nothing is happening with the website dramas. At least I can rely on Etsy! Here are a few of my listings.

I Dream of :: trendy kitchen items

Isn't this a lovely espresso machine designed by Otto.  It is a stove top design that harkens back to Italy's  Atomic 1940 stove top espresso maker and it is super chic.  I love the curves and that it is stainless steel.  A nice preview of good things to come, you can see it working thru the glass panel at the back.  Otto makes a perfect cup for two.  Keep your eyes open

I love this bloom fruit bowl from Arkturashop.   It shows a softer side to contemporary with a throw back to the lace bowls in the past.  I love it.

Dreams of :: 5 Years

I haven't been posting much this weekend.  Busy days.  But, I found these lovely Robots on Etsy. Won't these make cute birthday invitations for my little man? All I need to find are some great children's games and design and sew up some cute robot costumes as party favors.  Need to figure out how to make the robot faces.  maybe old boxes...   Any ideas out there?

A New Venture

Well, I finally decided to open an Esty.com shop.  My sister in law mentioned that I should give it a go.  There is a lot of people out there.  But few jewelry sellers in Australia.  I am thinking of opening a team for Aussie Sellers on Etsy.  This is one of my latest creations.  I hand rolled the Copper wire beads.  it is paired with Aquamarine, Jade, Amazonite and different Thai silver beads.  I love this necklace.  It is a very soothing piece.  I think now you can see why I liked that room in my last post?  Just noticed the colors are pretty similar...

I also discovered this wonderful artist in france.  His work is has a very sensitive and romantic quality to it.  Plus it isn't very large which makes  it even more intimate.
