Hello there! Just wanted to share with you these cool prints that I got given for my birthday! Aren’t they fabulous?! I’m a big Marx Brothers fan and I think the Groucho Marx print (on the left there) is really great! Love the style!  They’re all by a guy who goes by the name ‘Dwitt’ [...]

So, I have decided on having a give away competition! The prizes are as seen on the photos : a mini top hat, a frilly headband and a round felt fascinator! Yep, I’m feeling generous! A lot of blogs do giveaways where all you do is leave a comment, but I’m not doing this (though [...]

So, I did get round to finishing that fascinator I was working on! Yep, very bright flashy colors….and yes, I apparently do have a lazy left eye! Will be putting it up for sale in my Etsy store tomorrow (the fascinator, not my dodgy eye…)! Donc, oui j’ai eu le temps de finir le petit [...]

So, yes, I’m kind of behind on everything (blog, etsy…), so I’m getting myself organized here (just made some great lists -I’m a list person – while having a mocha). My wordpress problems haven’t been fixed yet, so I’m doing this post on my pc and I’m actually feeling  rather dizzy, everything is in the [...]

As you can imagine I went around quite a lot of museums in New York – eight in all - I’m not going to talk about all of them (do you want to be tortured?), but I had to tell you guys about the exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum (it’s like two blocks away from [...]

While over in New York I though it would be a good opportunity to go over to the Etsy headquarters  (in Brooklyn, you could see the Manhatten bridge out of the window) and take part in a craft night. Craft nights are held every Monday from 4 – 8pm.  I went on August 9th, the [...]

This week I joined a team on Etsy, the french handmade team. The teams are for Etsy members who have common interests or share a crafting medium, for example, to get together and share support, knowledge…and whatever else they want really! So,this one is for people who speak french (from France, Canada…). It’s nice to know I’m not alone! [...]

I’m really happy to see that Etsy have launched two new blogs this week – one german and one french! I  think it’s a great idea. Obviously, most Etsy users are from the USA but it’s great that they’re not forgetting their foreign users (especially us europeans). Etsy is practically unknown here in France, so maybe the blog will help it [...]

I’m currently putting up items in my Etsy shop (Chalkie’s Bazaar) for a clearance sale! I really want to sell some of my older items before putting up news ones, I need space to work! I’ll be adding more throughout this week, so please do come have a look and fill up your basket! J’ajoute des [...]

   I love looking through the second hand ‘vintage’ section on Etsy. There’s always lots of cool stuff  just waiting to be bought! I can spend hours browsing for clothes and I have recently found a really great Etsy shop, She Hearts Vintage. I just received today the two dresses you can see above, they [...]
