A week

Honestly this week looked looked a disaster form the start, one of our clay doves broke after quite a fall (it was my back-up but still now it's broken) then I managed to destroy two (!) pairs of  earrings I had spend the last couple of  days carefully painting. Once I started varnishing them the color just went away, I have no words to describe that, also no words to describe my stupidity for continuing with the next and the next earring after I saw that the first one was ruined.
Then this happened, staring at a black screen for days now. I really am out of words. I never understood these political games, so I have no explanation even after hearing hours and hours of people talking about it.
Hopes for the future? Well I'll make another back up dove and store it carefully and remake my earrings, testing them beforehand. As far as this country goes no, no hope there.
Wish your week is getting on better,
take care,
Aleka

Monday Moodboard - Frustrated

This post has been written, edited, rewritten so many times I stopped counting. The recent changes in Etsy have left me dealing with a feeling of loss, there are five levels of it: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance. I believe that I'm going about it the wrong way though, I think I'm actually experiencing anger and depression at the same time. I have no wish to bargain but I have to admit that I have accepted the fact that Etsy is a business that has it's own agenda and sometimes (well maybe a lot of the times) our little shop does not fit into their little whimsical, mustache and owl filled little world.

Protect Handmade, Protest with us on 10th of May, we will be silent and we won't use ugly words, we will be closing our shop for 24 hours our words are not heard, so maybe our silence will be.
Join the thousands of shops here on Protesty, together we can make a difference!
