Finds 'n' Fancies

Good evening, Team! 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. 

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 teamepe items. 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. ;)




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. 
Will you be watching the wedding coverage? I think I might try and catch some of it.

Be happy!

:D

Finds 'n' Fancies

Hey, team. Just wanted to drop in really quick and apologize for not having an actual post for you all today. My household is sick and I just haven't had it in me to go a-hunting. I hope to be back to normal next week. 

Here's hoping you are happy and well!

A bit of tranquility for your Thursday. I always find peace at the ocean's edge, but when the ocean is far from reach, a teamepe/etsy search is right at my fingertips!

Ahh. I feel calmer already.

Where do you like to go when in need of a mental escape? (Near and/or far.)

Not enough? Need more? Here you go: more ocean, beach, sun and sand from our team!

Slowing Down


by: MaCherie Creations


For those of us who sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by juggling all that we do, this video has a great message. It was recently posted by The Road Safety Council from Down Under. The focus is about road safety; however, there is a wonderful message that connects to how we live.




Just this morning I was adding more tasks to my todo list, feeling the familiar twinges of frenzy while figuring out how to get everything done. Then I received news from a dear family member who is undergoing another round of chemotherapy as surgery is not an option. And so I'm forcing myself to slow down so that I can focus on what truly matters: Life, loved ones, the promise of spring ...

Two new tasks have been added to the very top of my todo list: "slow down and breathe".

Member Interview

Introducing...

My name is Sule, I live in Istanbul the most crowded and magnificent city of Turkey.I am graduated from Business Administration Faculty,I am a pr professional besides having a shop on Etsy. Our shop name is “Bysweetmom”, inspired from my Sweet creative MOM. 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…
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. We all family members feeds each other with our talents and creations. We all complete each other:)


I was looking for a new team and saw Etsy Project Embrace. The aim of the team influenced me and joined to team. Etsy Project Embrace is a good cause, unfortunately cancer is a very common disease, four years ago I lost one of my best friend from colon cancer and I am so sensitive about this disease.


Of all your creations, what is your favorite? And why?
It’s really hard to choose, I love everything in my shop. My favorites are my ponchos;

What is your favorite possession, and why do you cherish it?
My favorite possession would definitely my silver jewelery. Without them I feel naked:)

Is there something special you collect? (If so, photos are very welcome!)
I love marionnetes, 4 years ago I took a puppet course ;so I can also make my own pupets:) and I have been collecting puppet for the past 4 years..

Do you have a blog? URL?
For the time being, unfortunately no. But, I already took my blog adress from blogger , creating my blog is the “major” topic in my next month’s TO DO list.

Where do you hope to be, personally and in your artistic endeavors, in say 10 years time?
Living in a giant metropole (more than 13 million people lives in Istanbul, and Istanbul connects 2 different continents Europe and Asia; there is always traffic jam, so many people etc.) brings a lot of difficulties, even I love my born city, in 10 years time - I am dreaming to live in a peaceful and calm place near by the sea in nature surrounded by olive trees at Eagean side of my country. Living in a stone house - countinue creating with “my sweet mom” while listening the whisper of peaceful Eagean wind...
Thanks


Thank you so much for sharing!
xoxo
