The weather was just fine whilst visiting Keramisto but as soon as we sat down to have our traditional pick nick at the lake it started to rain.
Other than that we had a wonderful time and we went on a big shopping spree!
We came home with 5 beautiful new pieces of ceramic. Soon I will take pictures of the new pieces to show you in a next post.
Rain clouds coming in over the lake …
On to other happenings …
After long contemplating I decided to close my Etsy shop. Do you know Etsy has millions of sellers on their site? So to compete with all these it took me at least 2 hours or more per day to promote my shop on Etsy and I think that is just too much. After all we have to make jewelry don’t we? And offcourse our jewelry remains for sale at our Atelier and online store
I like to say a big thanks to all of those Etsy sellers who where so very kind to me. They helped me and promoted my shop whenever they had a chance.
Today I like to mention these two …
As some of you already know I am a really big fan of the clothing of 13Threads.
It is flattering for your figure, very well made, fashionable yet timeless …
Right now Lois is working on a whole new collection and I like to show you the first two fantastic dresses.
Liberty cotton wrap dress by 13Threads
Black cotton wrap dress by 13Threads. The long necklace is made by me.
13Threads her clothing is for sale at Supermarket and in her Etsy shop. Lois also keeps a very interesting web blog.
Do you know the photos of JKPhotography? Jetty Kolobaric is a self-thought photographer and makes wonderful photos.

You make beautiful jewelry so people will find your work/shop anyhow with or without Etsy. And yes I know the feeling spending hours behind the computer to promote your own work….
With two more hours a day I am looking forward to some new work!! and your pieces of ceramics of course..
