I sincerely hope those of you in the southern portion of the US made it through the terrible storms last night. They passed just to the west of my area, thank God, but left some devastation behind in a couple of my neighboring states. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sorry, this is such a late post for me, but I wanted to share a few things that jumped out at me whilst browsing through <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search?q=teamepe">teamepe items</a>. I'm really loving this soft, fruit sorbet palette right now and then I caught sight of that cute table and had to include it, too. I was tempted to try and collect some things related to the Royal Wedding, but I figured there's enough of that talk in the media right now so I spared you. ;) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for the well-wishes from last week. I'm mostly better and so is my family. My 10-month-old has heard me blow my nose so much that she now mimics the sound. I'll excuse myself to the bathroom and, for every blow, hear a tandem "pffffff" coming from her crib across the hall. It's really cute. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Will you be watching the wedding coverage?

We opened our shop with “my sweet mom”, my mom is not familiar with computers so I manage our shop. We are a cosy family company. My sweetmom has been always so creative. When I was a child, I was watching her while she was sewing, knitting, crocheting or creating something new. She can’t sit without doing nothing and I am the daughter of my mom:) So, I love crafting since I knew my self...I am very proud of being daughter of such a SWEETMOM! She is a creative angel, perfect mom, good friend, excellent teacher, wonderful person… I learned lots of thing from her and still learning…<br />My beloved,creative sister Sebnem (aka “ shebbodesign” and ”pashiko” shops on Etsy), is the person whom introduced me with Etsy. She helped me lot, I learned everything about Etsy from her, all my photos are taken by my talented sister. She is also a good crafter and knitter. I am also a porcelain painter.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Saint Patrick's Day, team! Honestly, it's not a day I've ever really celebrated--even after turning 21. I did a little reading up on this holiday since, before now, I've known it more as Wear Green or Get Pinched Day, but figured that if it was named after a saint, there's bound to be more to it than wearing green and drinking Guinness. <a href="http://www.history.com/topics/st-patricks-day">Surprise--I was right</a>. It was once a religious feast day. I didn't know that until <i>after</i> I'd gathered these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search?q=teamepe+Irish">Irish</a> & <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search?q=teamepe+kitchen">kitchen</a>-themed items from our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search?q=teamepe+">team</a>. Serendipity strikes again. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, I found a recipe for Chocolate Stout Cake from Smitten Kitchen in case you're looking for something else to do with that Guinness.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">FYI: According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Day">wikipedia</a> (which we all know is always 100% accurate), the color that was originally associated with Saint Patrick was... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>...blue</i>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Next week, in light of the devastation in Japan, I'm hoping to gather plenty of finds supporting the relief efforts. Until then, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/dog-in-japan-stays-by-the-side-of-its-ailing-friend-in-the-rubble">this video</a> will both warm and break your heart. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm Stephanie from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BonitaBellita?ref=seller_info">Bonita Bellita</a> and I'm so glad to have some time with you! Bonita Bellita is my etsy shop, and the name comes from my belief that everyone is in their own way beautiful (bonita is beautiful in spanish) and Bellita is my daughter who's nickname is Bella, and the -ita makes it more of an endearing term. It's also a play on Bella, Italian for beautiful. My shop holds lots of little treasures to choose from. Most are hair accessories, little blooming bobby pins are my favorite, but there also are rings, the occasional necklace, brooches, and I'll be introducing earrings and some home decor soon. Everything I make comes from my home in sunny southern California.</span></span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdocvpqtaVXx7tmhpWYndv6lwJcqdZ-baIhIHrtOD4jWcjGSk1w9t8t34JWj__OZq7WyEpxKB6utXm-KWcXbDYdowIQg4YXoy8qHZpQCXn7S6aYtsyALEqTXdZAzBwb3wJaPZLv0SonEQ/s1600/get_convo_image.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 165px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdocvpqtaVXx7tmhpWYndv6lwJcqdZ-baIhIHrtOD4jWcjGSk1w9t8t34JWj__OZq7WyEpxKB6utXm-KWcXbDYdowIQg4YXoy8qHZpQCXn7S6aYtsyALEqTXdZAzBwb3wJaPZLv0SonEQ/s400/get_convo_image.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582965279061374226" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left;">I learned about Etsy Project Embrace around Christmas time, when another shop Lillyella (<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lillyella" target="_blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(1, 146, 181);">www.etsy.com/shop/lillyella</a>) told me about a fun Christmas exchange she was doing. I took a quick peek and found it was based on good etsy shops that wanted to do a little more than just sell fabulous items; they wanted to give a helping hand back to others who were hurting, specifically from cancer. It hit me personally, because my mom was diagnosed with cancer this last year. It made me want to do something. I decided this was a good way to achieve that goal.</span></span><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8L49nBoZxlOaq3XhdoPceuzgAAalmf7eJGGgR6hoPUthvG894lk9GH28SYiNvkPv-ZLP8BATJYJiK7lFSn9U3ypA15dePKlumCPW5vOx_xAmuRyJiMi2jVXUZ1DRCZMRCQQIB2rVTVg/s1600/get_convo_image1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 338px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8L49nBoZxlOaq3XhdoPceuzgAAalmf7eJGGgR6hoPUthvG894lk9GH28SYiNvkPv-ZLP8BATJYJiK7lFSn9U3ypA15dePKlumCPW5vOx_xAmuRyJiMi2jVXUZ1DRCZMRCQQIB2rVTVg/s400/get_convo_image1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582965224166343618" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left;"><br />Out of everything in my shop, I think my favorite to share with everyone is the Golden Afternoon hairband (<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60053425/golden-afternoon-hairband" target="_blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(1, 146, 181); outline-style: none;">www.etsy.com/listing/60053425/golden-afternoon-hairband</a>).

I was the last of four girls and the Wild One so they just let me choose my own route. I studied graphic design at Washington University in St. Louis MO but returned to my native Portland, Oregon to begin my career. When my daughter was old enough for pre-school I began taking sculpture classes and then got into ceramics, which had been a favorite medium as a child.<br />For nearly 25 years I pursued ceramic sculpture and even made the cover of Ceramics Monthly in 1994. (I always wanted to be a Cover Girl!) By then I had (re)married a potter and we had bought some land in Southern Oregon’s Applegate Valley to begin building our studios and home. In the middle of this adventure I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which was caught earlier than it might have been thanks to a wonderful acupuncture practitioner who helped my body present symptoms. I had surgery and chemotherapy and started painting since I did not have enough energy to work with clay. Starting to paint was the silver lining in my cancer experience - I never went back to clay. This print, called HeartRoots was created as a thank you notecard which I sent to everyone who helped during my recovery. Later I had more cards printed and donated the sales to cancer research. Perfect for Project Embrace!</span></span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9gOj7vohYJj5ZLGKPKRzDeN3SUFFLy6xmNccZhcJEw0h8XnzV8h3I-p4qiVLyu1csTherNqM19b0L-FHaTXz7N6hzN80ECOV77hhVphQ9NRXbQGUhC9S8l7YRXg70OUcVOcxMU5jA72k/s1600/il_570xN.180202701.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 339px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9gOj7vohYJj5ZLGKPKRzDeN3SUFFLy6xmNccZhcJEw0h8XnzV8h3I-p4qiVLyu1csTherNqM19b0L-FHaTXz7N6hzN80ECOV77hhVphQ9NRXbQGUhC9S8l7YRXg70OUcVOcxMU5jA72k/s400/il_570xN.180202701.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580308881380683954" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/58038881/note-cards-heartroots?ga_search_query=heart%2Broots&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5762014">HeartRoots</a><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left;">How did you learn about Etsy Project Embrace?</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left;">I think I was just exploring different features of Etsy and when Waterrose encouraged me I jumped in immediately.

The property is now for sale and people are having a hard time believing that we could ever leave this wonderful place, but the truth is we are artists who make things and then sell them so we can make more things. Our home just happens to be the biggest piece of art I have ever created and the one that makes a huge impression on people who visit here.

I would like to be comfortably settled with Dennis in a small home in Portland, Oregon, with studios on the premises. I want to be enjoying my grandson who will then be 11 years old and possibly have a younger brother or sister. I would like to be able to paint every day and sell most of what I do directly from my studio, website or Etsy. Ideally I will find a young whipper-snapper who will take care of all the computer work I now do to market Dennis’ and my work, giving me more time to delve into making art that might be meaningful to people and help shape their lives.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Another Thursday, more finds! Last week, I had intended to do a post about green, but then it went somewhere else entirely, but the green was still very much in my head. Maybe it has something to do with the coming of March and St. Patrick's Day. I'd remembered a few things I'd been looking at from our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search?q=teamepe+green">team members</a> while I was browsing Anthro and then came across the garden journal pictured below. When I saw it was designed by Nathalie Lete, whose work I <i>adore </i>for its unabashed whimsicality, I googled her and found this image. It was fate; it paired perfectly with the items I'd already planned to show you today. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I found a dried cactus part laying on the ground with all of these cool crevices, so I just had to see it captured in pmc. It took me forever to paint each layer of silver paste in each crevice, and then file each nook and cranny after I fired it. It's got a very interesting look, and it's definitely one of a kind. My other necklaces are are very varied. Some are made from charms, druzy geodes, and bronze. I usually have a lot of design ideas racing through my head, so it's hard to decide on what to make next.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk-3I2zrWaUKHyyveLh4ylI_uJOZ6IYWwApcmU-LDDmWpsJQ_I8lulxfG5nnC8rDh3-Xh56Uyvfsk7UADZxL8or1c_44G4HRoEXNe8VV2ZEM3RDUDn98Xl1i3_1EbV2O46iULqiSXims0/s1600/get_convo_image+%25285%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk-3I2zrWaUKHyyveLh4ylI_uJOZ6IYWwApcmU-LDDmWpsJQ_I8lulxfG5nnC8rDh3-Xh56Uyvfsk7UADZxL8or1c_44G4HRoEXNe8VV2ZEM3RDUDn98Xl1i3_1EbV2O46iULqiSXims0/s400/get_convo_image+%25285%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574828265097483794" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/63011093/handmade-bronze-frozen-charlotte-baby">Handmade Bronze Frozen Charlotte Baby Head Necklace</a><br /><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left;">Are pets possessions?
