BASKETWOVEN RIBBON MAKE-UP PURSES

These are another collaboration with my mother: Basketwoven ribbon purses. She weaves the outside body and I do the rest, as always! :)

The burgundy purse in this picture was sold to Canada yesterday night!The pistacchio green one was the first one to be sold! It went to USA, to Dear Amy!

Amy was so much in love with the green one that she couldn't resist and bought the cream one, too! Thanks so much for your interest, Amy! She is an old customer of mine and a new Facebook friend!

HAND-QUILTED PATCHWORK IPAD/IPAD2 CASE

Hello friends, after a long silence!

I am doing well. Very busy with my tours with Japanese tourists...But during winter I got some time to get a rest at home and work for my Etsy shop after a long while.

In the above picture, you can see a collaboration with my sister: Hand-quilted patchwork Ipad/Ipad2 case/sleeve. We made this one during 2011 summer vacation at our summer house in Sile, Istanbul. My sister pieced the fabrics and I did the rest, as always! :)

I was not sure how long this case would sit on my Etsy shop. Because the market is full of very attractive leather Ipad cases. But we need not to wait for long. After a 3 month-long wait, it was sold to USA! 3 months are not very long period for me, because there are some items in my shop that are still waiting a long time for a customer to come for them.

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!
