As always, I have been carrying many ideas in my head and making lots of preparations. And, as always, free time has been so little! This Master's student life does not simply forgive anyone. But anyway... as we move towards a colossal shift here in Wilwarin Designs (can't say much about it for now, sorry!), I decided to open a new Spring Cleaning Sale. Many items have been selected and they are now 50% off - that's right, half the price! :) With the new (amazing) collection on its way, I need to get more space around here. Also, we're leaving for a completely different approach - oops, just did it...
Here are some of the products that can be found in the Spring Cleaning section (Mid-season Sale) on my Etsy shop. To browse all the items, click here (opens a new window). Enjoy it, because some of these products are completely unique, with no possibility of reproduction! ;)
Wishing you a lovely weekend - hopefully a sunny one as we're all tired of Winter right? ;)
Every new year it's a new life, they say. And in my case, I couldn't agree more!
I am moving to a new home tomorrow (March 2nd). This is something I've been expecting for far too long - and finally, it is happening... Of course I will miss my current home since it is where I've lived almost my entire life. It is where I've grown up, where I've made friends, where I've owned lovable cats and dogs and watched them departing the physical world. It is where I've lived my most strong and precious moments and emotions.

But starting anew is never a bad idea, and we believe the home we're moving to will bring us much fortune and a whole new life. We're moving to our beloved hometown, close to pretty much everything; college, services, family, friends - even my boyfriend lives there. This means I'll never spend around three hours in transports to college (every day). :) With all kind of services nearby (including a post office), I'll save so much time it might even confuse me at first *laughs*. I'll have more time to sleep(!), to be with friends, to do things I like and of course to work on Wilwarin Designs. I feel anxious, happy yet nostalgic...
In the midst of such mixed emotions, of course I had to stop my handcrafting activity. If you have visited my Etsy shop during the last few hours, you might have noticed the message already. The shop is closed for "vacation" but I will reopen it in a week if everything goes as planned. :) I'm sorry since I should have informed you earlier of the big news, but time has been so tight with so many things to do. I'll be making another post here explaining how the transition will work on Wilwarin Designs in a while.
Thank you to everyone who have enjoyed my Winter Clearance Sale! ♥
I know it's been two entire months since my last post! Last time I came here, I presented my cat Misha, who is now almost five months old and turned out to be a very beautiful feline child. A home with a cat is, indeed, a joyful home... well, except for when it comes to cleaning Misha's mess. ;)
I hope you've had a wonderful winter holiday along with your family and most loved ones. Now, 2012 is coming to an end... but before we step into a brand new year (and a brand new chapter), there is still a small surprise. If you haven't been to my Etsy shop the last couple of days and/or if you're not following me on Twitter yet, perhaps you would like to know that ALL my items are 13% off until the end of February. This is the perfect time to get that piece you have enjoyed so much for a lesser cost.
Last but not least, I'd like to say thank you, to all of you my lovelies, who have supported and cherished me and my work during the last twelve months. 2012 has been a great year for Wilwarin Designs, with many conquered blessings, starting from winning Beadaholique's "Jewels of January" contest to the opening of my Etsy shop and international sales. And all of this wouldn't have been possible without you all. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! ♥
May 2013 bring you good fortune and perseverance in all of your life areas!
Summer is already halfway from over but the best part is just about to come to Wilwarin Designs. Starting today and for an entire month, ALL items at my Etsy store are 15% off!!! :)
This super sale aims to clear my jewelry stock so that new collections and pieces might take place in the near future. So if you got your eyes on a specific piece of Wilwarin jewelry or simply are looking for unique handmade jewelry at a good price, this is the perfect time to check on my store and grab your favorite. All you need to do is to type the coupon code 'SUMMER2012' (also published at my shop's page) during checkout.
I have many unique and special pieces craving for an owner at the moment and I hope you will take a bit of your time to browse my work and store. Who knows what little treasure can conquer your heart. :)
Also, as some of my Etsy listings have expired in the last couple of weeks, be sure to keep an eye open for even more jewelry!
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!
It's been a while! Sadly I've been quite busy with other matters during the last few days and I don't have much time or energy to create and write. However, there is a very special day coming, and I wanted to start this current week in a great way; starting today and until May 6th, ALL ITEMS at my Etsy store are 10% off!!!
All you need to do is to type the coupon code 'MOTHERSDAY' (also published at my shop's page) during checkout.
I have many unique and special pieces craving for an owner at the moment and I hope you will take a portion of your time to browse my work and store. Who knows what little treasure can conquer your heart. :)
Order now to ensure delivery in time of Mother's Day!
