Feliz Natal (Merry Xmas)

Happy holidays, dear reader!

Today I would like to share an Etsy Treasury I made featuring Etsy sellers from Portugal a long time ago as Treasuries can't be created any more.

The red, green and yellow colours are the ones from the Portuguese flag, as the red and green are associated with Christmas.

I have bought two notebooks from Alfamarama. This shop has notebooks (whose titles show a witty sense of humour), postcards and other stuff. 

I am also featuring a fellow Portuguese crafter, Nicole Lopes, whose shop is NikitasStore. She is a wizard with the crochet needle. Check out this Pointsettia flowers made in crochet.

My last photo is one of the items from my shop named AcbeadsJewellery which is on sale right now. I have not decided whether I close the shop next year or not. Do you have/did you have an Etsy shop? What is/was your experience? Please share.

Enjoy the season in health, peace and love.

Etsy again / Etsy de novo

Pela terceira vez, tive uma peça incluída num Tesouro. Desta feita, a curadora foi Nan Smith do blogue WiredNan. Algum dos meus leitores tem loja no Etsy? Qual o seu nome? A minha chama-se ACBeadsJewellery. 

For the 3rd time, a piece of mine was included in a Treasury. Nan Smith from WiredNan blog curated some of the bracelets she loves in Etsy. Does anyone from my readers have an Etsy shop? What's its name? Mine is called ACBeadsJewellery. 


By clicking on the image, you will be able to see the Bracelets I Love Treasury in Etsy.

PS: This is an edited post. I've removed the link to the CraftCult website as the whole treasury took so long to display.

Transição / Transition

Olá! Estes são os meus últimos trabalhos. Os dois primeiros elaborados com o que recebi da Siobhán: uma pulseira com berloques em tons natalícios e um marcador de páginas com um anjo. Todos os outros trabalhos são presentes que fiz para oferecer no Natal: pulseiras elásticas e pulseiras de cabedal fino com contas de vidro e estrelas. Fiz também muitos cristais de neve para dar de presente - vejam aqui como são.

Hi! There are my latest creations. Firstly, two pieces I made using Siobhán's beads in Christmas colours: a vintage charm bracelet (my first one) and a beaded bookmark. All the other pieces were Christmas gifts for friends: stretch and leather bracelets. I also gave lots of beaded snowflakes (see them here). 

Em 2014 espero abrir a minha loja no site Etsy. Reservei já o meu lugar. O meu cantinho chama-se AcbeadsJewellery e podem vê-lo aqui. Têm uma loja no Etsy? Qual é a vossa loja? Que conselhos me podem dar?
In 2014 I will open my Etsy shop. I've already booked my little corner on Etsy. My shop is named AcbeadsJewellery. You can see it here. Do you have a shop on Etsy? What is your shop? What advice can you give me? 


Para cada amigo que se traga para o Etsy e que abra uma loja (pode já ter conta para comprar), eu e esse amigo ficamos com 40 listagens gratuitas cada um. O convite para que ambos possamos beneficiar desta vantagem é este: http://etsy.me/1fWEClZ
For every friend that opens a shop on Etsy, each one gets 40 free listings. If you're interested in having your own shop, you will get 40 free listings and so will I. The invite link is the following: http://etsy.me/1fWEClZ


Resta-me desejar-vos um ano de 2014 com muita criatividade!
May you have a 2014 full of creativity!
