...the title being rather self explicative, let me still ramble a bit, all right dear all?
...so, one of the things I love about being part of Etsy community is the ability to curate treasuries.
What are treasuries? Lists of 16 products from different sellers, put together {hopefully!}
harmonically in order to promote their work and support each other in this vast society of artisans, crafters & designers.
For me personally, it's a nice & practical way to exercise my abilities in combining things together.
Each time a collection is put together not only are such aspects as colour, mood and style taken into consideration, but actually I try to picture a whole space or an event where the choices made would compose a harmonious, serene, stylish and pretty total.
I have grown up reading decoration magazines and begun as soon as I was 16 to invest my pocket money in building step by step a classic, yet contemporary library of decoration and interior design books. Their pages have grown into me....after all, 20 years is a rather long period, as much as I'm pinching myself in order to realise how they passed and my current age...hello girl!...you are no longer 25!
The more the time passes by, the more I practise, the more I see the easiness with which I put spaces together....and by this I mean actual spaces, in real life.
I'm finding making treasuries an effective way to keep my eye sharp, while being also informed about what is going on in the rich chambers of Etsy.
Perhaps it would be wise of me to post here openly that I'm currently looking for a regular job on a magazine
{both printed and on line}
As a writer, photographer, interior stylist and decorator.
In case you are considering making a proposition where a regular payment is not included and are still willing to offer the opportunity of collaborating with you,
I will have to thank you but decline.
At this point, the quality of my work and the capability of my mind to style and create spaces whether virtually or in real life require to be rewarded in a the traditional kind of way.
With a pay check.
So, please be so nice as to contact me at:

Good luck from me also! This is the only blog I follow daily - you have true gift for making simple things seem amazing, and to me, your blog is like taking a deep breath and truly exhaling.
ReplyDeleteI have also read design books from a young age, yet my attempts at treasuries look like a dog's breakfast..lol. True style is inherent...it just is. You have it, in spades!
I can't wait to see what the world has planned for you next.
