What are your favorite color combinations?

What are your favorite color combinations?
What do you create using those colors?
my favorite combinations vary from season to season ....
I love the pastel colors in many combinations, white and turquoise, white and purple, green and purple, red and blue or green.....
but in winter I love making jewelry in darker colors but not too much
as black and gold, brown and pink, brown and blue, blue and brass, brown and beige .... but I love trying new combinations, including many colors put together ..... perhaps I can say that all my creations are Multicolor, very few have only two colors ....
and you... what colors do you love?

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?

A day outside

A day at the wildlife park with my son !!

He loves animals, gets excited when he sees a white cow LOL
in the natural park near my house (Cervia), there are various animals, horses, deer, goats, rabbits and lots of space to make the picnic or for several adventure games ...
is a way to be with my family, and to leave my son who loves to run free in large spaces ...

Sometimes, out in the open, even just for a walk, is relaxing ...
spending long hours at my desk and the computer makes me miss some beautiful days where I could go to the beach with my son or go out and get some air ...

try to keep your shop running, it is hard work, perhaps more than 8 hours work, so you need to move from computer to create and then again to the computer to insert what you did ...
and all this makes you feel close to home, weakens eyesight, neglect your family and work nights and holidays ...
but it gives you a great satisfaction when your things done with love, are sold ...
I think that every craft, agrees with me
working hours do not count on ever getting value
because otherwise, something made by hand would cost a madness
but we do with so much love for us to know that someone is wearing something that you did has perhaps more valuable than money ...
behold, this was a parenthesis, of my thoughts...

Host Memories for Life Scrapbooks

Summer is almost ending

The only thought the arrival of the cold, my legs tremble! I love the heat, the sun, the colors, the sea, but also the winter colors, the holidays and the mountain, and these elements make me appreciate all the seasons.
I did not vacation this summer, no travel abroad, unfortunately, but fortunately I live on the sea so I enjoy it.

I have many programs for September and October, I just need time to achieve !!
I do not know if I will be able to participate in fairs and markets, but still I want to keep ahead of the holidays ...
I want to make collections with autumn and winter colors, although usually the colors in my shop are there for the whole year.
I do not want to eliminate the color from my shop, because they are my Mood "Joyful",
so my fun and colorful collections will not fail,
but a collection of "Noir" there must be, I also like the black!
But I do not want to reveal my future collections .... hehe
Promotions and giveaways coming soon!

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 !! ♥

Spring *Blog Carnival*

Is only one month that I am a member of etsy blogger team, and I am very fun to participate in various events of the team ...
So, this month's topic for the Etsy Blogger Street Team Blog Carnival is:

Spring Tell us what you like about it, what you hate about it.
Do you look forward it ?
What are your favorite spring activities?

There are many things that I like the spring,
it is probably my favorite season ...

-First I love the days are longer, the sun, and exit without jacket and scarf ... I live near the sea, so already see a lot more people around the streets, walking along the sea, is a nice feeling ...

-I also want to do more shopping, hiking, and see the windows ... now, my son is very fun, can play in the park, running along the sea, and being with other children ....

-I'm like the time, if there is the sun, I'm much more creative, more cheerful and smiling ... Then I do the photos to my jewelry outdoor, garden, photos are much more polished and beautiful ...

Finally, now that there is a little more heat I can participate in craft markets, is very fun outdoors in contact with people, to see how appreciated the things I sell ...
the Christmas markets are very attractive, but die of being cold outside, it is nice to be a marketplace with beautiful sun ...

-Perhaps the only thing I hate the spring, is that you never know how to dress, because with the winter jacket is warm, however the jacket spring evening, it's still too cold ...
I hope I didn't bore you! LOL! ... and apologize for the mistakes, I am not good with English ..... I decided that my blog must be in English so they can also read people all over the world ...

This is my first post dedicated to this event ...

The Carnival theme for Etsy Bloggers is:
What made you open a shop on Etsy?
What do you like about being a seller on Etsy?
What don't you like?

I opened my Etsy shop to June 7, 2008.
I discovered etsy reading here and there in various blogs and social network ...
before Etsy, sell my creations on ebay, but as you know, ebay is more expensive, so I decided to try out etsy because I liked the idea of having a shop all my own, with my banners and especially also to sell ' Foreign ...
Etsy it is only for artists, instead on ebay, people go mainly to buy things used, and brand ...
I love Etsy, I like doing many treasury, participate in the team, and buy many things from other artists ...
I love the wonderful community of people that I have met through Etsy - some very nice and supportive people...

Thanks to etsy, I'm slowly learning the English, although I still have much difficulty in the pronunciation, but I'm putting the whole to become more good ....
But for me was and is still very difficult to get in and know me, from esty ...
There are many sellers and few buyers may ...
etsy is better known in Usa, so for me that I live in Italy I have more difficulty in selling ...
we must have patience, be aware, participate in forums, to the treasury, to do a lot of promotions and advertising ....
I spend many hours in front of the computer, I hope that one day all this work will have great results ...
In conclusion I love etsy and I hope that my shop one day bring his successful ...
