I'M IN 32 ETSY TREASURY LISTS!!

"GIFTS FOR HER UNDER $100"



Thanks, cookieletta!

I discovered that I have been in 32 Etsy Treasury Lists as of Dec.12, 2010...One of them is above. Another one is for Christmas: "CHRISTMAS IN EUROPE". Thanks, galafilc!



It's been a while since I last updated my blog. I had been busy with my tours with the Japanese. But I still run my Etsy shop from Istanbul and I had 108 sales so far.

CUSTOM MADE PURSE FOR MY NIECE!

This is the custom made purse that I made for my 9-year-old niece to order who loved the other yoyo purse so much that she tried to pay for and buy it from my Etsy shop! :) Of course I couldn't have taken her money! Instead I told her that I could make her an another purse...for free! Then she chose the fabrics and the yoyos. Now she keeps her hairpins and ribbons in it.

Now I'm planning to make a similar one for my Etsy shop!

My KAI NO KUCHI BOXES HAVE BEEN FEATURED!

I discovered that my KAI NO KUCHI jewelry boxes have been featured on this web site on March 30, 2010! This listing in my Etsy shop had been getting lots of hearts and views and I haven't had any idea where they are coming. At last I had a sale from it yesterday and asked my buyer how she reached my shop. She kindly told me that my boxes had been featured on a website! She chose her fabric of her liking; I sewn it up right away and shipped it to her today!

The end product is the box in the picture below!

I hope I'll get more sales from that site!

NEW LISTING IN MY ETSY SHOP: Cream Chocolate Hand Quilted Sakizome Yoyo Purse

There is a new purse in my Etsy shop! A yoyo sakizome purse again! This time, I used my beloved Japanese sakizome fabric remnants from a previous product. I hope it's going to have good luck like the previous yoyo purses!

I have still lots of sakizome yoyos at hand and I'm thinking about using them for other yoyo purses. Actually I had made them for another project but gave it up half way.

MY 95TH SALE! 5 MORE TO GO TO 100TH SALE ON ETSY!

I sold my mom's creation "STARRY STARRY NIGHT" yesterday night to a buyer from Atlanta-GA! That was my 95th sale and 4th one from Istanbul on Etsy! 5 more to go to 100th sale! I'm planning a special gift for my 100th buyer! Who's going to be 100th one and from which country? I can't wait!

MORE NEW PURSES: LACE 1 and 2

I added new purses in my Etsy shop a while ago. Actually it is my mother's idea to use eyelet lace for the outer body of the purse. First she basket wove the lace and reinforced the lace with lightweight interfacing. And then I added the same finishing touches with the other purse of mine.
