My Creative Space

Getting a bit more organized around here.


The blue vintage knitting needle tube is from my grandma's craft basket and floral organizer set I bought from Fabricka. Now all my knitting needles and crochet hooks are in perfect order.

Other creative spaces you can find here.

Have a happy and organized Thursday! ;)

My Spring Swap Gift is here!

Today I received my Etsy European Street Team Secret Spring Swap gift. It arrived from Italy from wonderful Priscilla of I bijoux dello Stregatto.
I was very excited while opening the big envelope and inside I found a very cute package with beautiful hand-drawn tag from Gufobardo, who is also an Italian artist.


I kept unwrapping and inside the blue bag found two smaller light blue packages.


And finally I got to my treasures - very cute butterfly and pearl bookmark and sweet pink glass earrings with heart chain.


And look how perfectly they fit with the top that I am wearing today.


Thank you, dear Priscilla, for the wonderful gifts! And special thanks to Anka of Happy hang around for hosting the game for us!

Happy Spring! :)

It's feedback like this that keeps me going...



I'm feeling inspired and full of energy to create again! Thank you, my wonderful customers, Etsy teammates and all my cheerful supporters! At the moment I have almost 20 sales in my Etsy store and almost 100 followers at my blog. It might not look much to someone, but to me those numbers felt so unreal and unreachable, when I opened the store only 9 months ago.
I'm so happy every time, when you visit me here or just send me Good morning! messages via facebook. I enjoy having you around! And I greatly appreciate your support!

I love you all, guys! You are the best!
And I promise to have a nice giveaway here for you to celebrate, after the holiday craziness is over. Stay tuned! ;)

Saturday Shopping

It's Saturday again and it means that we go shopping together with Sandra from zsazsazsu.

I haven't posted too many new items this week in my Etsy store, as I was busy creating two very special goddesses for a wonderful lady from France, who makes gorgeous rings with vintage finds.

Here are my newest items...

Sweet Gingerbread Couple to wear on your favorite warm sweater.


All sparkling and shining Silver Peacock Barrette to brighten up your New Year's party. And you can wear it in so many different ways.



Black pendant with gorgeous fan shaped agate and cute faux fur skirt.


Enjoy your Saturday Shopping! Only 21 days till Christmas! ;)

My Creative Space

... is a little bit crowded. And chaotic. Too many things going on at the same time.


I'm embroidering, waiting for the glue to settle, retagging items in my Etsy store, admiring new stones that arrived today, designing new items, packing orders... and scratching very sleepy dog on my lap.
And I also need to prepare for the visit of a very special guest - one of my closest friends in flying from Latvia for the weekend to spend some time together. We haven't seen each other for ages, and I'm so thankful for this early Christmas gift!

To celebrate the holiday season I am offering 15% DISCOUNT off all purchases from Helmitarha Etsy store and FREE SHIPPING to anywhere in the world on orders over 50 USD from Nov 26th till Nov 29th. Use coupon code HOLIDAYS2010 during the checkout! ;)

And now back to the working table!

To see other creative spaces and play along, visit Kirsty!

Have a wonderful day!

Visit from Winter Fairy

Twice a year we play secret swap game among members of Etsy European Street Team.
Last week Winter Fairy visited me and brought a wonderful gift from my Secret Swap Friend - Dafni of lacravatteduchien.


Two very cute brooches that will be perfect addition to any summer outfit.

I'm still in process of creating the gift for my secret friend. She is a very special person and I really hope she likes my surprise. :)

Thank you, Dafni for the great gift! And special thank you to Judit, who is doing an amazing job of organizing the team swaps!

You can see most of the secret swap gifts in the team Flickr pool.

Have fun and happy swapping! ;)
