Summer Sale at BeadworkSeadbeady and ArtSeadbeady

Hi There.....Can I ask you a stupid question?

I already know the answer.....Do you like sales?

Off course you do.....who doesn't 😀

Well yes, there may be a few that don't but let's not think of them today cause I am having sales in both my shops on Etsy.

Most of you might not even know I have two shops because I haven't done much artwork lately but they are BeadworkSeadbeady and ArtSeadbeady.

The biggest problem with my Artshop is that I am a seedbeadaholic. And there is no such thing as a seedbeadaholics anonymous 😜

Although I am certain that if it would exist I would not be going cause I am pretty much in denial haha. I enjoy beading so much that I make too much stuff.....so I have to sell some and that way I can pay for new beads.

Let me show you some of the most recent things I added to my BeadworkSeadbeady shop 😊

Introducing you to - Boyfriendstudios

Hi There.....What are you doing this weekend?

It's gonna be a sunny day here so we are planning to go to the store and having drinks later 😊

Summer is coming pretty soon now so are you planning to go on a Holiday? Maybe I can tempt you in buying some cards first to send to your loved ones 😋

That is why I wanted to introduce you this time to Boyfriendstudios

Tammy, the shop-owner, makes unique handmade greeting cards. She got started creating when her girls were young. She would sew clothes for them and make scrapbooks to commemorate her girls' childhood.

When her oldest daughter started college her creative outlet morphed into card making. She would put together special care packages and create a pretty card to put on top to brighten her daughter's day. Her girls' college careers overlapped significantly, so she ended up making twice as many care packages and pretty cards.

That's so sweet.....don't you think so too 😚

She gets inspired by paper and card stock because the possibilities are endless. The assortment of colors, patterns, and embellishments that are available make every card she makes a unique and special experience.

Her workspace is an entire room of years of stored fabric, paper, ribbon, glue, and other crafting materials. She just loves it and can spend hours sometimes in her room just creating until her heart's content.

I can relate to that.....my beads are a lot smaller but I can fill a whole closet with them 😏

But that's not all.....she also sells a line of pie-themed cards at Sweet Revolution Bake Shop in Lafayette in Indiana. So don't forget to pay her a visit when you are in the neighborhood.

Ah well did I make you curious enough to go and see some of the collection of cards she sells 😁

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - 6

Hi There.....Did you miss me last week??

I thought I'd take a week off.....sometimes life decides that you do other things than blogging 😃

So I was planning to make my blog yesterday but then again life got in the way.....we went to the Antwerp Zoo.....me, my husband, my daughter, my son in law and my granddaughter. I really enjoyed it very much and so did my granddaughter 😀

Have you ever been there? It is really worth a visit you know.....but if you go it is best to go there by train because by car is very stressful.

Since I did see a few people wearing headwear, I got inspired to do a blog about it 😄

What about you.....do you wear hats sometimes? I do wear caps sometimes to protect myself from the sun in the summertime. So I did some browsing on Etsy to find some lovely caps for you 😘

Introducing you to - Arinka Soap

Hi There.....How is the weather over there?

It's gonna be a pretty hot weekend here in Belgium especially for this time of year 😃

We will probably be going out for some drinks today on a sunny terras with a parasol above our heads of course. We don't want to get al sweaty no way.

But who knows maybe you do.....but that's ok cause I have the perfect solution on how to get freshened up again afterward 😉

So let me introduce you to Arinka Soap today.

Yana, the shop owner, started as a soap maker in 2005. At the high school for soap makers, she learned the art of making soap. She attended creative workshops and contests and even won some of those contests.

To share her experience she started organizing her own workshops in 2013. This way she came across the charity organization "Renaissance" (back then it was called "Rogolevich"), and started selling her soap in order to contribute to this charity.

So you will probably be wondering what this charity is all about 😦

This organization helps children with informational support and assists in preparation of the medical profiles and arranges to fundraise for patients that suffer from serious liver diseases.

This way Arinka Soap was born, named after her sweet daughter Arina. She started doing workshops and fairs for the charity and the project became a success.

So a few days ago I received a beautiful flower basket from this lovely shop 😃
