The 'Etsy Post'

Before i start this 'Etsy Post',
i want to show you the inspirationline i FINALLY made!



In my last post, I already told you about my Etsy plans.
Although i don't see myself as an artist at all and am quite insecure sometimes about the things i make, i have to admit i am really, really excited to start the little Etsy shop, make all kind of cute things and hopefully sell a bit also!



I am not completely sure what i want to sell though.
I think it will be part handmade things and part vintage finds.

Handmade goods like these:



Paper crane mobiles,
I can also sell them per piece.
I really like the lace on their wings,
as it gives them something special...
You can do lots of things with them, to make them more interesting
and pretty.



Of course different types of mobiles and garlands are possible,
also all kinds of paper, laces and trim are available.
For the mobiles i use cute ,little bells in different colors at the end of the line.




I really like these
'Garlands of tears',
as I like to call them.




(The left garland is made out of different white fabrics and lace and the right one out of pieces of grey and green leather and pink lace, both have a little bell at the end and the line is invisible.)

Oh, and one of the things
I definitely want to sell...
are very cute and pretty kits,
full of little goodies to get crafty yourself.



Sweet, little tags
and customised notebooks.



Stationery and sweet clutches...
(Whem my sewing machine is working again, i will of course sew my own clutches.
I've already seen gorgeous Asian, linen fabrics....)



Another thing i really like to do, is making collages.
Since i was a kid, i have been cutting and pasting like crazy!

This is my inspirationboard for this Summer...



The four 'paperworks' i made the last couple of days,
are very different.
I used some of the most beautiful photographs from magazines,
but also pieces of lace, other little pieces of paper and words.





Besides these handmade things (more is coming!),
I'd love to sell some vintage stuff in the shop.
Stuff LIKE this (these are MINE!) ;)







I already made lots and lots of little cards,
to send with the packages.
The packaging will be a very important part of the shop...
I love beautiful wrappings and cute, little gifts to make the people who receive the package very happy!




I am very happy i am a real collector,
i have so many little things....
all kinds of paper, accesories and stuff.





Although i have lots of more stuff i want to show you,
i won't until the next post.
I want this to be the Etsy post!
(Okay, a little, tiny bit of the 'This is my place' post...)



To end this post,
which you hopefully enjoyed...
I want to show you my 'Wall of Inspiration',
which has become WAY bigger than it was!



I am extremely curious,
about your opinions on my selfmade stuff!
