Time for the Christmas markets!!!

Christmas is getting closer very fast and the Christmas markets are starting here in the Netherlands! And tomorrow I am also standing on a Market! On the Zelfgemaakte markt in Utrecht, the Netherlands to be exact. This is a crafty market and this will be my first time on a crafty market. I am getting very nervous as it is getting closer but I also think it will be a very fun day. But right now I can only think about: How will my stand turn out, how will the weather be, am I taking the right products with me and I can go on for hours this way.

But everything I had to do for this market is done. The car is all packed up and I think that I have everything with me I need to take with me.

This day is filled with joy and a lot of people hire a stand and sell all there old stuff. It's like one big flee market over the whole country! Further there are a lot of party's, old Dutch games and a lot of orange because that's the color of the Netherlands next to he colors of the flag.
I am also selling my old stuff tomorrow together with my mom and my aunt from Germany. It's the first time my aunt is selling old stuff on Queens day. I have done it a lot so we will show here the ways. To come in the spirit off Queensday I searched some Orange stuff on Dawanda! Here are my findings!

Drifting away!

I am busy and I will be busy until next week. With work, with spending time with my aunt who is here for tree weeks from Germany, with the birthday from our Queen that we celebrate with a huge flee-market and a lot of fun and with making Driftwood jewelry!
I worked yesterday the whole day on some beautiful pieces and I want to make more!!!! I love to work with Driftwood and I will go have a new search for some driftwood soon. But it will have to wait until it all calms down a bit. In will list the driftwood I made yesterday in my Dawanda and Etsy shop this coming week but I will be a bit silence here. I wish everyone a great week with a lot of fun and smiles!

Evyy's Studio on Etsy!

Finally is Evyy's Studio also at Etsy! I have found Etsy years ago even before I found Dawanda. I love both sites very much but you can see clearly that you get other country with Dawanda than with Etsy.
Right now I omly have the wishingstars at Etsy, but I want to bring also some driftwood jewellery to Etsy in the future! You can find me here ! Please come and take a look and I hope I can bring a lot of joy in the world with my wishingstars!

On the first page on Dawanda?

Yes on the first page on Dawanda! When I was checking Dawanda this morning, I got a nice surprise when I suddenly saw the pink wishingstar! On this screenshot you have to look a bit but it's there! At first I was in shock and when that went away I was very happy. Dawanda has started a color collection special and at the front page is my pink wishingstar, the picture for the color pink! And I must say that it feels very glorifying. Maybe a bit stupid but every time someone gives me a compliment about one of my products or features a product I am very proud but also a bit shy. I still find it a bit weird at times that there are people that find my work great or wonderful. And on the other hand it's a lot of fun to see the wishingstar at the front page. Right now as I am typing this the picture is not at the front page but I hope it's comming back and will help in getting some of my wishingstars out there!

Let's shop!

After making sale after sale in Evyy's Supplies I ran out of a few items. So I went shopping today for some new supplies. And I have to say that's lots of fun. I spend over a hours walking, watching, counting and thinking at the supplies shop. And I found some fun and beautiful supplies. Today I listed some new Asian pendants and some pendants that I ran out off. More supplies like some more pendants but also some beautiful beads will be listed hopefully this week. So come and take a look at Evyy's Supplies.

Back to normal live!

It's alway a bit hectic around birthdays but now I went from 25 to 26 it's time to get back to the normal live. A fun week it was. I dear friend of my tried to get me very curious for my present. But instead that I went crazy she went crazy because I am very acceptant of waiting until I get it. And I must say a great gift it was!
And it was also much fun to see all those sales I made last week. I had 7 sales in my two shops! A few orders are already sent out, the rest will be sent out soon. And that means I have to get more supplies soon to fill up the shops again. I hope the sales will go one this way, it would make me very happy!
And what make me also very happy is that I stopped smoking a week ago and still going strong. I have been a bit cranky but it's still going very well. And as I have told before I don't have green fingers. Plants always die in my house. But that does not mean that I don't try. In the easterweekend I seeded some seads, and the are comming up as you can see in the picture! I am so proud at myself! And now I am going to do some housework before I go to work!

Birthday Celebration!

It's my birthday on april 10! I turn 26 that day, and off course I will celebrate that with family and friends. But a also want to celebrate this with the whole world. And with a celebration goes presents!
And because of this I offer free shipping on all my wishingstars! You can find the wishingstars in my shop Evyy's Studio . The free shipping is worldwide so everyone can enjoy this little present!



But what are those wishingstars? The wishingstar is a sweet star keychain. Every wishingstar hase a wish inside that's made up by the giver of the wishingstar. This makes the wishingstar a personal gift. And it makes the wishingstar a little present for every occasion. Example for birthdays but also as a note that you are thinking about someone in a difficult period. And the wishingstar is available in 10 colors!

From handmade to supplies

In january I opened Evyy's Studio. From that moment I started to fill up my shop more and more. But not just with handmade items, also with supplies. And while filling the shop more and more, I found that the handmade items got lost between the supplies. And after posting in the dawanda feedback forums I decided to open a second shop only for the supplies. I started yesterday with filling this supplies shop but I need more time to get everything there. A lot of work but I think it is the best the get the handmade items and supplies in there one shop.
So please take a look at Evyys Supplies! And of course at Evyys Studio!

All kinds of lovely things...

are found on Dawanda! I love to surf on Dawanda. Just keep looking and searching for lovely things. Here are some products I have found!

Matroyshka's and Delfs blue: Hot or not?

I see them everywhere Matroyshka's. And Delfsblue products. And yes even a combination of the two. I even sell Delfsblue Matroyshka's beads in my shop. It looks like a hype that get's bigger and bigger every day. Today I got a folder of the store where a get my shampoo and soap and stuff like that. And even there you can find Matroyshka's right now. In other stores you can find all kinds of delfsblue products. From napkins to drink glasses. Keychains and boxes. al with matroyshka's or delfsblue designs.



And don't get me wrong, I think the most matroyshka's are very lovely and I am proud that i live in a country where the delfsblue comes from. But I am not very pleased with taking these products and make them a hype. Off course every store will sell the stuff the people wants and sells. But sometimes it is a shame to see these beautiful product taken over by cheap designs, materials and see it back in every kind of product.

So yes matroyshka's are hot and so is Delfsblue!

And what do you think: Is it a shame that these products are becoming a hype or are you in love with these hot items?

In love with some Ribbons.

I went into town yesterday to search some presents. I never found the presents but I found some great ribbons! The just have beautiful colors and texture. The flower ribbons are just so sweet. I love these simple designs. And the stripe ribbons has the most beautiful colors. Now I just have to think about what kind of things I will use these ribbons. One of the stripe ribbons will be used for a keyfob for myself. And They will come back in my shop as keyfobs or in other things.

New in shop: Flower keyfob

I just love this keyfob. The Flowerribbon is so lovely! I have to make one for myself soon, in the meantime I can search for keys to fit on the keyfob. Take a look in my shop Evyy's Studio or go directly to the Flower Keyfob
