The photos speak

How many times a picture says more than one word?
I decided to prove it with the help of my team:
Europe street team!
"The Photo speak" is a game that starts here on my blog
and host the photos of all team members who want to participate ...
Every two weeks there will be a different theme ...
The game is to take pictures under the theme,
and make known a part of themselves...
Each photo will have a direct link to your store ...

Now just look, your photo to get started!
Send photos to my email: sumikoshop@gmail.com
The first topic is: Show who you are!

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 !! ♥
