An inspiration for loving yourself (for who you are)

Hi there! I know, it's been a while again.

I've been living the last couple of weeks in a literal race against time. There are just so many (way too many) things I wanna do with so much little time to spare. I have LOTS of plans for Wilwarin Designs, including two new collections to be launched this Summer (schhh, don't tell anyone I said that.) and, I hope, my very first jewelry show. On the other hand, I'm thrilled with my third Etsy sale; that makes three different sales in less than a month! It's such a wonderful feeling, I don't think there are words to explain it. Seeing these little treasures which were created with so much love with my bare hands traveling to the other side of the world... it's like sending away a little piece of me, to meet whole new places and new people. I cannot describe it!

My latest international order, fondly packaged and ready to ship. 

Wilwarin Designs aside, I have also been preparing myself for a little change, as I am always eager to learn new precious lessons and grow as an individual.

There is actually someone who's been inspiring me very much lately. A girl - a CUTE, talented girl - who's only a couple of years older than me, but with so much to show and to give. She appears to be such a wonderful person, never afraid to be whoever she is, and everybody loves her just for that! I'm talking about Lindsey Stirling, a young violinist from Utah, USA. If you are from the States, then probably you've heard about her, most probably from America's Got Talent in 2010 (quite a long time ago, but oh well!). Her violin skills are amazing and you will be thrilled with her performance and personality, which can be enjoyed in her many videos. She often posts new ones, be it original songs, covers or medleys, live performances or even talkative videos about her life and her best moments. This is one of my very favourite songs of hers:

"The greatest value comes from loving yourself for who you are. I've been teaching this idea to myself for years so I hope that by showing what I've learned, others can find the same freedom and joy I have."

~Lindsey Stirling~

I, too, have been teaching the same to myself for years now - with the difference that I've actually been struggling a bit... Since the day I came across Lindsey on Youtube some months ago and, thus, her wonderful personality, she serves me as a reminder of a simple way to be happy.

I'm looking forward to bring you good news and more, great updates on Wilwarin Designs. In the meanwhile, be sure to enjoy Lindsey's music and my Mother's Day Sale, which has been extended until May 13th (23:59 WET aka GMT + 1). Have a lovely weekend everyone!
