Falling In Love With Handmade & Etsy

Hi there!

Should I introduce myself? The name's Pili, I work as an Oncohaematology nurse full time, I'm a total bookworm, a metalhead, and a total odity all summed up in one; oh, and I'm a handmade lover!

I've always loved shopping, even if it would comfirm the "girly stereotype", and since I decided to accept myself as an odd one, I decided that I wanted to reafirm my individuality, which meant that lil by lil, I'll end up looking for, and finding, the OOAK DIY culture. It all started on Ebay, till it went the way of the Dodo, and found myself on Etsy: The Heaven of Everything Handmade! I think that what really captured me from the handmade philosophy is the contact with the sellers, being able to talk to them, ask questions and share with them the joy of a well-done product, with love! And of course, the amazing uniqueness AND quality of the handmade goods!

I've started this blog as a way to share my love for handmade, my favourite shops and sellers and my favourite products with whoever that could be interested!

I'll be posting reviews of products and shops I've already bought from in the past, and that are part of my favourites, and I'll be posting new entries as I get new packages home that make me want to rave about them!

So long, and thanks for all the fish! ;-)
