New Treasury List: Escape to Nature

Today I bring another collection of pretties I found on Etsy. This time I was searching for some late winter woodland inspiration; the grace of awakening forests, freshly regrown canopies and the smell of earth reborn... very small details which, as we can see when we look closer, are no more than signs of Nature's own magic! Lots of earthy tones and touches of fresh green in this one...

Since I'm writing about this, I'd like to take the chance and thank all the people who've been featuring me and my items in their breathtaking and original treasuries. I had never been included in so many treasury lists in so little time! Slowly I can see my shop grow - and that's thanks to you. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. 

With that said, I hope you guys enjoy this collection of mine and that you're having a fabulous weekend too. :)

Valentine's Day

Whether you've found your better half or not yet, I hope you've had a nice Valentine's day filled with smiles and happy moments with your loved one(s). For me it was an ordinary day. My boyfriend has never been into what he calls "Valentine commercialism", so I just spent my time in classes and relaxing at home in the evening. It may sound depressing indeed - especially because I am of the romantic type - but our 6th anniversary as a couple is almost there anyway. I'd rather celebrate that. :)

Wishing a lovely Friday and a peaceful weekend to everyone. ♥

Wilwarin Designs is on a competition!

Easy Social Shop is carrying out a competition between online stores installed on Facebook using their application. Of course, I had to participate. :)) The prize consists on a great range of online advertisement (I need it so badly!). However, I would need your help to get it... yeah, this is another one of those typical Facebook contests functioning with votes... even I get tired of these kind of competition at times, but having access to this premium could bring Wilwarin Designs to a whole new level... so I'll just leave my plea along with the link, for anyone who might want to contribute. :)

VOTE

(opens a new window)

Note: in order to proccess your vote, it is necessary to 'like' Easy Social Shop's page... but after the competition ends, you can always remove the interest of your list!

Thank you all!

First Signs of Coming Spring...

... magnolias in bloom! They're not a native species but surely they bring so much joy every single year. Their flowers are usually the first ones to bloom around here, bringing marvellous shades of joyful pink to the city. In this case they were planted along the avenues, making these so soothing to walk by as the magnolias' smooth, pretty-in-pink flower petals cover the sidewalks. And as the days slowly get longer, my heart craves for tender Spring and its flowers and colors and the miracles of Nature... it is such an inspiring season for me. Argh, can't wait! :)

New Treasury List: Dreaming of Spring

I swear it, I try to stop... but I can't! I've found that creating treasury lists on Etsy happens to be a great method for me to get some great inspiration... thus it has become a wonderful part of my creative process.  Plus, who doesn't mind to spend some time each day drooling at some fantastic pieces of art? Because that's what keep finding aroung this huge(eeeee), amazing Etsian dimension!

As Winter draws to an end, I could not resist my nostalgia for Spring - well, for Summer too, but that's another story... anyway, I can't wait for this time of renewal and rebirth of the earth. This is the time for starting things anew... for tender pastel colors, fresh foggy mornings and the sweet scent of Nature's purity as it awakens from the stinging cold!
