A FAIRY TALE

I will not tell you a tale today. I will tell you the truth, only the truth.

I met a fairy two months ago.

She is a garden fairy.

She is good at new technologies, therefore she does not have to fly here from miles away, Massachusetts.

She is a perfect communicator and a generous person.

She enjoys to share her gorgeous treasure with people who can use them. Luckily I am one of these people.

She sent me two treasures until now and she still plans to send another one.

Our deal has one rule: I will use them or I will give them to a friend as she does...

and here is my treasure!!!

MEET MY TALENTED BUNNY!

I always loved bunnies and still love them. However for the first time in my life, I received a gift from a bunny. She is the most talented bunny I have ever met; Carita aka Jealousydesign!!!

I was in the office today when the telephone rang. My mother was excited on the other side. She received my package from the postman and was curious about it. She was asking when I would be home to open it. However there was much more to do in the office than usual and I was two hours late when I arrived at home.

Home was silent, everybody went out. I held my package firmly and then began to take shots.


Just before opening the envelope: I love the relationship of envelopes and stamps since my childhood. One without the other is insufficient. When they come together; they keep beauties inside and carry them through a long way; from one home to another, from a lovely heart to another.





I never tear up envelopes/packages. I try to be gentle with them. Therefore I got my scissors and cut the envelope from the very edge of it. Now it was the big time and I took out my treasure. Yes, incredible but that was really a little treasure chest with a note besides. Thanks God, I did not have to look for a treasure in an island. My treasure just came to me...




I opened the lid of the chest and saw her: wonderful, shiny, black, my Lava Flower!








I just wanted to look at her closer and I could not take my eyes from her.







Finally she got out of the chest, she got her freedom, I got my Lava Flower.



Hopefully we will live happy ever after, together!

*Thanks Carita (Jealousydesign) for your imagination, talent, time and effort!

**Thanks Mitsy (Artmind) for this perfect match; time and effort in this project!

BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD

I had a wonderful week: my first steps into blogging ( hope I can go on), one-to-one communication with lovely team members, very personal and unique challenge entries...
and now comes the hardest part: to choose one, only one!
Sure I could not do this alone and I called the child, Ebru, to help me.
And one of the challenge entries made us smile and reminded Robin Hood, one of the heroes of our childhood:
When we were 12 years old, we were fond of watching Robin Hood TV series.
When we were 24 , we were playing with Robin Hood puzzles.
Now 35 (how and when?), we still can not ignore anything regarding Robin Hood.

... and Our new host for a new challenge is VAISTO, VAISTO, VAISTO!!!
Congratulations Vaisto! Awaiting for the new theme now!
and We thank you all, for your participation in the challenge and for this wonderful experience!

I FEEL GOOD!

A new day and a new experience: My first blogging and I am very excited. I have to thank to my friends from European Street Team (EST) of Etsy; since if the weekly challenge did not exist, I would not be here.
Last week's challenge theme was Native Tribes by Psarokokalo. I crocheted a tribal bracelet and I was declared as winner of the week. The real thing began after this: now I'm responsible for the new theme during a week and I hope my friends will enjoy both the challenge theme and to be hosted by me (Ebru) in Febystan.

Pink and Blue Elephant Necklace by kraplap

















"This necklace is inspired by several aspects of my childhood: buttons, colours and elephants. The buttons I got from my grandmother who kept hundreds of them in a big box that I was parked with on Sunday afternoons to keep me under control. Colours have always fascinated me, as they do so many other children; I like them in a wide range of different nuances like in this item, and other times also in a more subtle combination. Elephants played an important role in my life because when the button box did not feature in the afternoon, we would often visit the local zoo, and the elephants there never failed to impress me with their gentle yet massive stature." kraplap
