I’m totally bewildered.
Many thanks to the Etsy Team and to OnYourHead for picking me!

Our children have grown up.
This means that we’re getting older, yet it also implies that we can spend our time with them in a consistently different way.
That’s why a new Valentine’s tradition is going to be introduced into our family: from this year on, we will be bringing them with us to visit a European Capital.
The first one is going to be Paris. We’re leaving in a few days and they’re so excited!
If only it would stop snowing….

One of my Etsy friends, Kosmika, who has her Blog here, listed me for the Sunshine Blog Award.
Thank you so much!:)

Now, to carry on the tradition, I’m doing the following:
~ Put the logo somewhere on my blog or within my post.
~ Pass the award onto 12 bloggers.
~ Link the nominees within my post.

A big thank to Atelierpompadour (yes, again! <3) and Coccinellerouge for letting me reach such a record!

This month’s featured EtsyBlogger is Theresa, a very talented artist who carries two shops on Etsy, TiLTCreations and TiltTwo.
In the first one Theresa sells handmade handbags and accessories in various sizes and styles. They’re really stunning! Each bag is OOAK (one of a kind)…unless – she says – custom ordered to be the same.
Look at this one:

TiltTwo, her second shop, offers destash patterns, fabric and supplies from her handbag shop.
You can learn more about Theresa in her two – yes, I said two! – blogs: TiltCreations and TiltCreations Too

I’m featured in three Treasuries.
The first one is a big surprise. I really didn’t expect to be included, but it was a good occasion to discover the wonderful PeacockInvitations Shop:

The second is a really sweet one and has been prepared by Paola of Atelier Pompadour. If you don’t know her shop, it’s time to drop it a visit. You can also learn more about Paola reading her Blog.

And here’s the last one, composed by Priscilla of Bijoux dello Stregatto shop:

Go discover Priscilla’s delicate creations and know more about her in her Blog.
Thank you everybody!

I’m carrying a new line of Handpainted Organic Merino Sock Yarn in my Shop.
It is incredibily soft and easy to dye and gives a suprisingly smooth stitch definition.
Here a some colorways, I’ll be adding many more in the next days:




Organic Merino Sock Yarns I have in my shop are processed under the Global Organic Textile Standard (Gots), that is accepted as the highest standard.
