Etsy lab in Bruges

Yesterday there was an Etsy lab in Bruges.
The whole day was about 'how to be a creative entrepreneur'.
We learned a lot about networking, social media and ofcourse we got some quick tips & tricks from Etsy itself.

Festival of Creativity

Last weekend I helped as a volunteer on the Etsy booth at the Festival of Creativity in Turnhout, near Antwerp.

 

 

I had a very nice day and I hope many people will take a look at the Etsy website.

In Belgium Etsy isn't very famous yet.

New items online!

Today I renewed some items in the shop and I've placed new items online!

 

Have fun shopping!

In the newspaper

Hello everyone!

It's been very busy lately.
Too busy I forgot to write something on this page.

What I've been doing?
I've been making a bunch of new items for the shop between my schoolwork.
I can promise you the new collection will be perfect for the holidays!!

Meet RobbieLee from Chickiedee handmade

Chickiedee Handmade is my large sponsor of this month.
I'm so proud that I could interview RobbieLee about herself and her shop.
I hope you fall in love with her items as much as I am!
She and her shop are amazing!



Who are you? – Where do you come from?

My shop and blog share the name Chickiedee | Handmade. It originally started out as Chickiedee | Modern Apparel for Babies, but I've since expanded beyond only baby products.

Chickiedee, not to be confused with Chickadee, has been one of my many nicknames since I was 3 years old. My mother started calling me that when I got my little yellow coat with a baby chick on it. It was the fuzziest and sweetest little coat ever! The name has stuck with me and become a part of my small business.

My name is RobbieLee and I was born and raised in beautiful Colorado. I travel a lot and enjoy seeing the world, but love knowing that I can come home to my little suburban town.

I went to school for Graphic Design + Animation and have always loved to craft. I combine all of my skills, talents and passion into Chickiedee. I really couldn't do what I do without the support of my family, friends + readers, so thank you.

 

 

Film inspired jewelry

These cabochons will be earrings and necklaces soon!

 

 

 Can you guess in which film you can see this pendant too?

Have a nice day,
Eline S.

Song of the month #14 ::: Asaf Avidan - Reckoning song

This song has been in my head ever since i've first heard it a few weeks ago.
I do not really like the mixed version. I think the original is the best.

Eline S. shop is open!

Hi Fans!

Last weekend was fantastic! You can see some photos of the event here or on my facebookpage.

 

Swishing Middelkerke

Last weekend I was invited by Swishing to sell my jewelry on their event in Middelkerke.
It was a nice experience and I'm sure I'll do it again.
Maybe next time in Gent? Who knows...

Meet the October sponsors!

Can you believe it's already October?
This month I do have some really great shops and blogs sponsoring me.
You can meet them in a little minute when you scroll down a bit.
They're fantastic! If you're looking for some nice new blogs and shops, please check them out through their facebookpage, blog, website, shop,...
I'll let them do the talking from now on! Let's take a look together.

 

Chickiedee Shop + Blog are places to peek into my daily life and see what I make and do. I'm easily inspired by other creatives and things around me, so my blog is a place where I can share that as well.

Small business in a big world

Today I would love to share a very interesting event that takes place at the end of October.
Small Business In A Big World by Hello Etsy, is a daylong gathering for small business owners who want to connect with their peers, learn new skills, and be part of the movement to build a better world. Etsy shop owners, speakers and other interested people from all over Europe will come to this event. 

Recreating a necklace

A little while ago I had one of the most difficult tasks I've ever had.
Someone I vaguely now, asked me to design a new necklace with her old necklace, earrings and bracelet. I needed a lot of time to create a simple design that looked like she wished it.

Back to school

Since yesterday I have to go back to school.
I'm very curious how this year will be, but it promises a lot of good things!

Peacock love

Recently I started a new project for myself: making jewelry with feathers.
I bought some wonderful long peacock feathers and brown feathers and made my first earrings with the peacock ones. I'm very happy with the result and I adore the colours in those beautiful feathers.

Photo/colour inspiration:

Veugeltjen or little bird in English

A few days ago I made these lovely little bird brooches in resin.
Veugeltjen is my dialect for little bird.

Song of the month #13 ::: Angus & Julia Stone - Take you away

I love crafting while listening to some nice music.
I adore my Bon Iver LP's but one of my other favorites are Angus & Julia Stone.

Wednesday inspiration board #24 ::: owl treasury

Last week I found some very lovely owl items and I decided to make a treasury list with them. Inspire yourself with the fantastic looks of owls. Click the photo to see more of my treasury items.

Flea market happiness

Yesterday there was a flea market where I live.
Normally I used to have a little place for me on it too, but with my exams last week I couldn't prepare myself enough. And maybe that was all good! Because... I found a fantastic vintage antique letterpress type drawer! It's just great! I was looking for one for about two years and I've never found one as beautiful as this one! I'm in love with it! I already see my jewelry in it!

 

Meet the September sponsors!

I'm really happy to introduce my new sponsors to you.
It's great how people like to support each other!
It would be very nice of you, if you would go to their shops or blogs too.
I'm sure you'll like them as much as I do!

Hello Eline S. Readers! Iʺm Nicole and I blog at Nicole in the Making. I'm a dance teacher, blogger and owner of Handmade by Nicole where I make pretty jewelry and crocheted accessories! I'm so glad to meet you!

Wednesday inspiration board #23 ::: Close to nature

It's been a while since I posted a new Wednesday inspiration board. I must say that there was not so much time for me to go and find some new inspirational photos or items. But hey.. here I am! I thought this 'Bohemian' style photos would fit great with the shop of 'Roots & Feathers', my head sponsor of this month.

Experimenting with Mod Podge

Yesterday, late in the evening, I've been trying to work with Mod Podge for the very first time. I wanted to make earrings from recycled paper with a coat of mod podge on it and a 3D crystal clear lacque finishing layer.

Books & Brunch

This weekend, we went to 'Books & Brunch'.
A lovely new place in Bruges, where you can eat an incredible good breakfast (or lunch) for reasonable prices! We took a breakfast with pancakes and it was just delicious!
We really enjoyed our time together there!

Her blog focuses on knitting, photography, crochet and other creative ideas.

Share your passion on Eline S.

New on my blog since yesterday is the Passionfruit system to get your own advertisement online. It doens't change much for you, but for me it's fantastic! I can organise everything much better. Oooh, I'm already in love with it!

Treasures from the sea

While staying in Esbjerg in Denmark, we enjoyed walking by the sea.
I found these little beauties on a few places and took them home with me.

Meet Laura from Roots & Feathers ::: interview

August has been a little bit more quiet than other months, because I made a long journey and i don't like automatic blog posts. Roots & Feathers, the large sponsor of this month - with Laura behind it - is one of my big favorites on the world wide web. Laura and me, are different in style and she inspires me a lot and i look up at her for all the things that she'd achieved. She's very sweet and always ready for a talk, even though i just met her through her own blog. I'm so so very proud for having her here on my blog and i hope that you guys will make a little click over to her corner on the internet. You won't regret it!

Shop/blog name?

Roots and Feathers. It is a place where I have welcomed my soul to do the creating. Here you will find my collection of grassroot bohemian designs. This line is inspired by earthy native elements, a traveling gypsy soul & the feeling you get while walking around barefoot at a music festival. 

Our creative room

Finally we found some time to make our creative room/atelier at my boyfriend's home a bit more cosy. I think it already looks very nice and i can't wait for my exams to be over so i can get to work in here:

Back from a paradise not so far away

Since two days, we are back from Sweden & Denmark.
It was an amazing trip! We saw lots and lots of wild animals.
We had the best views while wild camping. It was GREAT!
I will place another blog post online later with more photos from this road trip.

Meet the August Sponsors

Meet these lovely new sponsors!! They have wonderful shops, blogs,... and many more.
I'm so very happy to introduce you to:

Roots and Feathers is a place where I, Laura, have welcomed my soul to do the creating. Here you will find my collection of grassroot bohemian designs. This line is inspired by earthy native elements, a traveling gypsy soul & the feeling you get while walking around barefoot at a music festival.

An adventure ahead!

Yaaay today is the day! I'm on the road again... <3
Let's go on a roadtrip, we (the boyfriend and me) thought a couple of months and so we planned our Scandinavian trip. Uhm planned.. we only choose a couple of camping sites on our way and that's about it.
From today I will show you the little things we've planned for now.. our thoughts can change while we are driving there.

I won't be able to answer my e-mails or other messages here, on Etsy, Facebook or BBN.
I will answer them when i'm back. That's probably around the 13th of August.

My shop will stay open, but every item ordered from the 27th of July will be shipped on 15th of August.

I hope you'll have some nice days to,
love,
Eline S.

Those who read my blog regulary know that i'm in love with old crates.
I'm still looking some for myself, but those i find always look to new or are waaay to expensive.
