This is my west for today, with the alternates, of course :o)And I decided today to feature, from this day on and when I have time, the treasury I liked the most. Today is Kreativ's turn, with her beautiful Golden Moments: I like this list because it reminds me of the relaxing quiet you can find at the sea in autumn.

When you live in northern Italy and you want to spend a day at the sea, you have not many choices: you can go to the Adriatic sea or you can go to Liguria. Ligurian sea is the closest to Milan, and if you don't find a lot of traffic on the highway you can reach the sea in less than two hours.Unfortunately, *a lot* of people find the sea attractive in summer, so you are always pretty sure to have

Some time ago the EST group decided to make a really original book: each member should have made a page, including some sort of artwork and illustrating his own Etsy shop. Then our super-artist KreativLink should have bound them all in a wonderful journal, ready to sell in our EST store.I just saw that after more than two months we have 20 pages only, ready to be bound. I can't believe nobody

Another light recipe, perfect for summer time, when you don't feel like cooking anything hard.I found it on this Italian blog: http://spilucchino.blogspot.com/2008/06/linguine-con-zucchine-limone-e.htmlI love lemon, I use it everywhere, with vegetables, meat and pasta as well, and here the lemon aroma perfectly match and balance the sweet taste of zucchini.As always, you have to go by eye because

I'm back from a one-week holiday, a one-week flu and a week of strong work! I have to survive for this week and then...I'll win another week off! :o)I haven't been able to make a "real" treasury for ages, but today I got one, here it is, enjoy the alternates too!

I'm always out of synchrony. I start writing a post, then I find something else to do, days pass by and my post is already old.So, this is what I would have liked to post last Tuesday.It has been a sunny day here today! A great improvement from the last two raining weeks. And for the first time I am at home and it doesn't rain!(and now it's raining again, strange isn't it? After all it has been

Every time I make a treasury on Etsy it's a pain. I mean, I love making treasuries but I know that they will disappear in a while. A lot of work lost. A lot of artists forgotten, I surely can't keep them all in my favorites, these are already a mess as they are. It's a pity!So I decided I will take a screenshot of all my treasuries from this day on, this way I can also show you the alternates. ;

I'm writing a long post about palm oil, but it seems it will take me a while to be ready, so I thought to write something else in the meanwhile, just to break up.So, I need a light topic...Food? Yes! :oDHere are some of my favorite food blogs, I'm sure you will find something interesting.Calme et Cacao (English and French)foodbeam (English)la cuoca petulante (Italian)il cavoletto di bruxelles (

It has been raining for the entire weekend, with only few breaks, until this morning. On Saturday night there was a violent rainstorm, I woke up at 3 am because of the loud noise of the rain. We whitened our apartment only a couple of weeks ago and we already have a huge humidity spot on the bedroom ceiling.I can't take it any more!!!This town is ugly in such a bad weather, and I can't harvest

I was surfing Etsy just a few minutes ago and I had the umpteenth proof of the most special faculties of mine. When I look at a shop, it doesn't matter what type of shop, I like and I'm able to pick always the most expensive item at all (or, at least, one of the most expensive). It's a really frustrating ability, because obviously I will never have the chance to buy all these beauties, but I

About a month ago I purchased some items from StaroftheEast and StarofSupplies, one of our great EST artisans and I have never had the time to show you the wonderful things I received. My order took a bit longer than usual to arrive because of the crummy postal service we have here in Italy, but fortunately the packet arrived safe.I took a picture of the stamps as well, they were too cute to

I'm whitening my home. :o(I have taken some days off to do that, and I'm more tired than I usually am when I go to work. But I'm happy to have a new and fresh atmosphere and, most importantly, I have been forced to clean out all of the clutter and I have made space!I haven't had time to check Etsy and the forums on these days, but I know I have been on the FP more than once because I had many

By now I'm used to neglect my blog. But I have to say that surfing your blogs (where you=you EST girls) I found out that I'm not the only lazy one! ;)Anyway, I thought the main reason I don't spend much time on my blog is because I don't find it useful, and I don't like useless things, so I don't feel at home here. Yes, I like to tell you something about my life, but honestly, who cares about it?

OMG, I didn't write anything for 4 long weeks, I'm really a bad blogger!!Today is 21st March, it should be the first day of spring...but we have maybe +3ºC and the meteorologists say that it will be very cold again in the next few days.So, in order to forget for a moment about this ugly weather, I will tell you about the most warm day we had so far, a sunday about three weeks ago.That day was a

Oh well, the "blank sheet panic" is gone. I'm starting to find it funny to have a blog. :o)I always had animals. They are part of my life and I could hardly live without them, if you want to live with me you have to like animals, no choice.When wePenny and Minou moved here we had only two cats, two sweet sisters to be more precise, Minou and Messner, Christmas gift and bequeath of a two-months

So, here I am.I finally set up my own blog, after having found some good advice on Etsy forums, and now I have to fill it with something interesting. Hard work.I have a sort of "blank sheet panic" and I always find it difficult to start a post, especially when I have nothing to answer to.After having joined the Etsy European Street Team I started reading the EST threads on Etsy forums. I have
