The Photos Speak is back !!

Sumikoshop said ...

"The photos speak" game is back!
this time different, the theme is always "tells something about you"
who wants to participate should just give me the link of a blog post, about you, your creative space, your hobbies, any thing you want to tell, and then I'll make a postblog with all links of the various narratives, such as a blog carnival, and I'll put all photos collected from various blogs!
some mini photo with the words of the title of your story
will be very fun and beautiful, though many will participate
read the stories of all it is very nice

the lettering in the picture I will do, with picnic, but if someone wants to do no problem
the lettering will be slightly larger

everyone can participate, simply send me the link in my email sumikoshop@gmail.com
or in a blog comment or in my etsy shop
This is an example of what will come out!

all you have to do is write a blog, as always, usually, only that sometimes you can publish your blog post that you like on my blog, just give me the link,
and then I think of all !!

the next will be published when I have enough stories to tell ... and who sees the blog post already published and want to participate, do not worry, I'll add your story!

If you want to see what it was before "The photos speak" here are some posts: Click Here

What you are waiting, send me your story!!

Home Decor

house ornament with lovely letters by Syko

felted wool acorns by lilfishstudios

The Winter Love Inspiration Apple.
Fairytale Plush for Grownups by Lapomme

Set of three tiny heart bowls by redhotpottery

There is plenty of choice!
These are just some things that I found on Etsy, to decorate the house, where to start?
I would buy every one of these for my living room so empty ...
with my son around the house can not hold decorations or vases ...
I think some of these are to prevent breakage!
They are also ideal for a Christmas Gift or other festivity ...

Click the link below the photo to see the entire shop of these great artists!

I need it or Just want it?

Plum Coat by LittleHouses

Has for months that I saw this coat, there are several models and colors, this has an affordable price and the color is unusual ...
I love so much! I do not know what I'm waiting to buy?
perhaps I am afraid, to buy the wrong size,
is a big problem without try it ....

I want to start a weekly blog post, talking about my personal tastes, what really, I would buy or wear ... is also a nice way to welcome here in my blog artists around the web, but also, already famous brands ... and also a way to know my style .... LOL

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...

Inside were all hand-made labels by Amy Elise Designs
I love surprises!

A few weeks ago I did a blog post

including a pincushion of Amy, so Amy, to thank me, decided to send me samples...
but had been a long time since I gave her the address that I'd forgotten
so it was a nice surprise...
So to thank her for this beautiful gift,
I decided to dedicate an entire post to her creations !
