Back from Vacation!

This was the first time I didn't want to return home from holiday - this place is so amazing, so vintage so....me! Karpenissi, in the heights of the Greek mountains, is full of stone-built little villages, running waters (drinkable,mmm..) and lots of vintage stuff I discovered in a small local store! If it was up to me I'd buy the whole place - by the way the owner's selling it to return to the States - but as it was our last vacation day,we'd already spent almost all our budget, so I settled for some gorgeous genuinely vintage keys,after a lot of careful searching and examining each one of them.Here's a shot:

I've already made some of them into pendants for my etsy shop,you can check them out here:

Before discovering those beautiful keys, I found (I'm getting real good at this finding thing),an absolutely amazing red Mercedes Bus from the 50's or 60's and my sweet hubby took some shots with me in them,but the best shot is the one I took -there's only room for one artist in the family,honey- and it's:

Cool,huh?and here's Moi:

Notice the fabulous style statement - sweatpants and leopard print hair band.Now, That should be on Vogue.

and here's the secret Greek school during the 1800's..

and a cute little tourist shop - love this color!

The day we left,I promised ''I'll be back'' just as Arnie..

Finally, my new eshop is ready!

It's been so long since the last time I checked in, it was probably still 2012...but now, I'm back! Yep, even more handcrafted antique jewelry and ...no more craft shows.Cause finally, after 1 year and 15 days, my new eshop is ready! artedeum.com is alive and kicking, (and waiting for more boring computer work-why can't it just be done by itself?technology isn't as advanced as it seems)

I'm so happy, I couldn't sleep the first night! 

So, here it is :www.artedeum.com

Happy New Year !!
I know it's a bit late, but this was a Christmas rut like never before - just got back on track,now!
After all this cooking, baking and mainly eating ,it's time for work and  new plans - yep, I'm expanding
my dynamic and setting new goals for 2013 . One of them is, to take lessons : Sewing is  first on my list - I'd
love to make pretty ,cute little skirts and dresses for my girl ,like these from  Vintagepearlclothing on etsy.
