Remember that watercolor crystal I showed before?
Finally, I got a range of new promo products from my print supplier! And they are soooooo beautiful!
Now I will send each item with two postcards, special watercolor business cards and a painted crystal sticker on top of the box and on envelope.
Gosh, I like how it turned out and can't wait for a new postcards designs coming soon.

Помните, я делилась акварелью с кристаллом не так давно?
И вот наконец, я довела идею до конца и совсем недавно приехала коробочка с моими новыми акварельными промо-продуктами. И они такие прекрасные!
Теперь каждый заказ будет укомплектован безумно красивой двусторонней визиткой с акварелью и двумя почтовыми открытками (привет, любители посткроссинга!), а так же коробочка с конвертом будет украшена "кристальными" стикерами.
Не могу дождаться, когда придет время заказать новые открытки с другими кристаллами!

I love air plants! Seriously, they are brilliant and I am wondering, why I newer heard about them before this year?
I used to have a lots of cactus and succulent plants at home, I can't imagine myself without grooming and growing, but who doesn't want to make it all easier? And I think air plants (Tillandsia) is the best way to have a green pall needs no fuss - they don't need any soil or regular watering, they can leave anywhere where is some sun shine and warmth.
But the best thing about air plants - they are extremely DIY inspiring! You can find a lots of projects to create a nice spot for the green ones, I even have a pinterest board  with dozens of ideas. The only one problem, I only have a couple of spider plants at home :).
This wee houses are candle holders at their origin, but they are look so perfect as planters! I took me a minute to cut one and voila - new decoration for chimney shelf is ready. But I still have some ideas for future...
An here is all my favorite, all sourced from Pinteres board, I mentioned before.
I just can't stop to add new pins to the board, I love all the moss gardens, succulent terrariums and modern planters made nearly from anything!

The best time of the year is the time when you are going on your vacations, no matter is it winter, autumn or spring. As to the summer, well - it is always good as it is, right, guys?

This year I got a few free days in the middle of October, spent in a lovely Cambridgeshire.
I newer thought that England is so different from Scotland in meaning of feeling you get from nature, architecture and people around. I can't spell it literally, but it is just something in the air. You know, when they say - oh yes, I know what you are taking about even without talking!

Cambridge is such a tiny and beautiful academic town, full of students and teachers, white sandstone buildings and romantic panting attraction. All that is busting your memory and brings you back to the heart warming moments from your own student past-times when you was just like all this yang people - seeking their place in the word, being exacted about every new discovery, with every new heavy book loaded with lots of weird smart words you should learn in five years. Just like my friend said - in Cambridge you can't do a step without stepping on something deeply connected with science history.

Such a nice break before winter season!



Самое лучшее время года то, на которое приходиться отпуск, без разницы - весна это или зима, или осень. А лето - лето прекрасно само по себе.

В этом году мне досталось пару прекрасных деньков наедине с собой в английской глубинке, графстве Кембридшире, известной прежде всего своей академической столицей - Кембриджем. О, какой отличной от Шотландии оказалась Англия! И разница эта неуловима и в то же время вполне осязаема - в архитектуре, в бегущих навстречу лицах и даже окружающей среде! Это нечто невыразимое, витающее в воздухе, понятное без слов.
Кембридж такой очаровательный академический городок, полный преподавателей и студентов, внезапным образом возвращающих тебя в дни счастливой памяти, когда ты сам был таким устремленным, восхищенным новыми открытиями и запахом толстых книг, под завязку нагруженных странными умными словами, которые через пять лет должны быть изучены  и усвоены.
Как сказала моя подруга - сложно пройтись по Кембриджу и при этом не наступить на что-нибудь жутко историческое и научное.

Осенние каникулы - лучшее средство для снятия всякой хандры и перезарядки перед долгим зимним сезоном. Как прекрасна каждая минута ускользающего времени!

Having your business build up from a hobby you are really enjoy is a privilege. But sometimes it fills like  you are too fed with doing your favorite things from day to day and in this moment it is good to have something what makes you happy, but not related (at least directly) to your hobby-based work.

Once I got my first ever expensive SLR camera, I was so happy to have it! I had a year of endless shooting everything and everything looks beautiful with that blur and standard filter. Pure joy! And guess what happened? My husband told me that every camera has it't own limit on shutter count, and my camera has about 150 000 - 200 000 shots. Not sure about the number, but it doesn't so far - that was the end of my world. Since that day I was trying not to do more than 1-2 shots on a scene or object, which is helping little to improve your "eye" because as they say - the first 100 000 of your photos is the worst ones. It was ridiculous to do that - save the shutters moves to the future just to have my first ever camera for longer period of a time.
After all, in two years, I dropped a bag with camera on a floor and crushed the flash gun joint because it was still attached to it. Stupid, isn't it. All my worries was just wasting of time and thought and my camera died just because I was too hurried to come back home and didn't pack my camera properly.
So, here is again I am worrying about the future - I am starting a new blog at the Blogger.com and my website still in process, and I am studding marketing by myself, and I bought some silver to teach myself to work with it, but I am afraid to ruin it all for nothing... And it all so exited as well as freighting - I like to do my stuff, I like to craft my business as well as my jewelry. But there is no any guaranties if I am on the right way, maybe I am wasting my time and in five years I will be an average person working in MacDonalds or small clerk in a office (no offense for the work, point is it is not my type of work).
The thing I got thanks to that camera story - you should never worry about the future, never. Don't be afraid, live now, enjoy yourself now, not tomorrow, because what you have now you can newer have tomorrow. Because you can have much more - my new camera was much much better then the broken one, I would never afford it unless the previous was done. All I missed - hours of sadness and fear to lost what I have in future instead of been glad and happy with what I have now.
Be happy now, be inspired and do all you can today. that is my message for myself and all who will join me in beautiful future here, in my new re-made blog! Welcome!
