Rocking message from the Etsy Creativity Rocks team

his morning I awoke to a very pleasing message from Natalja, captain of the Creativity Rocks team. I was informed that my shop was chosen as one of the 6 shops to be promoted between October 21 and 23.


Following this message I decided that my contribution to the mutual promotion will be by telling you about these chosen shops in my blog, so here I go:


The shop TheButterflyIllusion is run by Inga Balode from England, who creates handmade crafts for indoor and outdoor uses. All the items are her own creations. Inga's handmade crafts are made of  the highest quality materials.

BeauFleurs is a shop run by an active military woman from Oklahoma in the US. Whenever she leaves her combat boots at work,  she transforms into a wife who immensely  enjoys crafting.


Here is a lovely example of her handmade items:

Linda Baze from South Texas runs the shop GirlyGals began to handcraft jewelry together with family and friends. She is a granny and is totally in love with beads from all colors and sizes. She enjoys every minute of creating jewelry to make us ladies feel pretty and feminine - Girlie!

Elena from Toronto , Canada, runs the shop hiddenbead.
As a mother of four she does not have much free time, but she loves to create beads in the little free time she has. To her it is a form of expression.
Before starting to craft a piece of jewelry with the beads, she imagines how it would look . When the item is  finished she has this happy feeling of accomplishment. Here is a cute example:

Susan Marie runs the shop ourworldatyourtable. Although she is a professional diet& amp; nutrition advisor, Her shop's name is actually the name of her cookbook in which she presents 1 recipe from each country on this planet, except for Southern Sudan,  becuase it has become an official state only very recently. When you hold this book in your hands, and choose a recipe from it, you feel as if, in a way, there is a piece of everywhere in the world in your hands! What a wonderful idea for a cookbook! A real treasure for those of us who like to try and taste something new everyday of our life!

 The BEST team ever!!!
I searched for a quote which would suit my state of mind these last days and found the following one:
"In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first."
Harry S. Truman 

This week  I would like to introduce you to three most unusual and interesting handmade shops of my talented friends from our BEST team

AncientOil is a shop owned by Lily DelValle who is an expert in Holistic Energy Healing. Lily explains that  aromatherapy  is the practise of using essential oils, which are used for physical and psychological well being. In her shop you will find various blends to help remove blockages in our energy centers and help in lifting our spirits.

One of the items in her shop is Dead sea mud mask. As I live in Israel and part of the Dead Sea is located in my country, I am rather familiar with the wonderful effect this mask may have for your skin and I highly recommend that you give it a try.

Another Etsy shop I found with some unusual blue and white beads and pendants is Bluewhitewear.
The beads are Chinese porcelain which remind us of the ancient Chinese dynasty porcelains known all over the world. This type of porcelain represents long life, wealth , happiness, love and good fortune. It was developed in the Dynasty of Yuan (1271-1368) and flourished in the dynasties of Ming and Qing.

The third shop shows us some cute and colorful items for the youngest people we know. It is called Babamoon and is run by Naomi who is a hard working mom of two of the sweetest kids I've seen around. Naomi likes to show us flowers, pets, amigurami, and her designs are greatly inspired by everything which is bright and colorful. You will learn that what I am saying is quite true! Right here:






So please go ahead and watch these wonderful shops, then come back and tell me what you think!
Adieu!
