Peaceful Moments of February – Silent Vlog

Peaceful Moments of February – Silent Vlog

Hey there! I’m back filming and editing 🙂

This time I wanted to craft something a little different, and take you on a quiet and peaceful journey around the Pacific Northwest. As you may already know, I’m a French expat’ living in western Washington since 2018 and I immediately fell in love with the beauty of this area…

Upcoming changes to the Etsy Shop

Upcoming changes to the Etsy Shop

New regulations are coming very soon in the international e-commerce realm. I’m not going to go into a lot of details here, my goal here is not to bore you with some random news, but the EU is asking for a couple new things regarding the importation of goods beginning July 1st.

Preparing for the shop reopening

Preparing for the shop reopening

I don’t know if you’re aware, but my request for work authorization in the United States again was approved recently! Which means that I’m getting the shop ready for reopening. This is such great news, especially after all these months of waiting for it. I mean, I can’t even believe it’s been a whole year. In December 2019, I was taking off to France to have my visa changed, and I had to let my shop closed ever since. But…

Welcome to my Youtube Channel! (and other news)

Welcome to my Youtube Channel! (and other news)

Yes, you heard it right, I really opened a Youtube Channel. How did that happen? I have no idea. It’s one of the many projects I had in mind for a while – not to the point that I had to materialize the idea immediately, but still. I was thinking about it lately, gathering notes and ideas about the type of content I would like to make if I were to open a new space on this platform. About the…

Hibernation mode

Hibernation mode

Winter is coming, and with it, the hibernation of my sweet little shop. I already told you about the unfortunate change of visa that I’m going to experience next month and the consequences that come with it – aka an extended period of forced vacations for me and my husband. So far, no other changes to declare, all that I said last week is still valid. So, first things first, I will close the shop on November 17, and the…

Expatriate update: changing visa and the consequences

Expatriate update: changing visa and the consequences

It’s funny how it’s easy to forget about the technicalities of your residential status when you’ve settled in a foreign country for a while. Once you’ve dealt with all the challenges of the beginning, you start to build your new life and your routines, and soon you forget that you’re here on a visa that is meant to be temporary. At least I did. But things always end up changing, right? The wind turns, the moon disappears from view, the…

I visited San Francisco!

I visited San Francisco!

And it was great as you’d suspect 🙂 A bit tiring though, we didn’t have much time to rest between all the different places we visited. We played it like real tourists: we took a ferry to cruise the bay under a Glorious Sun, visited different parts of the City like Chinatown and Le Castro and went to the top of Coit tower to have an overview of everything around us, we rode bikes through the Golden Gate bridge all…

On the Threshold

On the Threshold

First of all, let me wish you a happy new year 2019. May it be as sweet as possible, full of enchantment, poetry, and lots of nature walks ♥ Ok, let’s go straight to the question that many of you asked me, with good reason: when will I reopen the shop? Unfortunately, I can’t confirm a specific date yet. For administrative reasons among other things, but mostly because I realized that I didn’t want to go too fast, and rush…

Reach for the sky!

Reach for the sky!

Ok, so… I have a big announcement to make. I mean, a huge one. And as usual, I don’t really know where to begin. Maybe I can start with a pretty photograph so you can have some sort of clue on what this is all about. Yep, just came back to my workshop, and here I am, preparing myself for a trip. I’m quite busy with all th… – A trip, really? That’s your idea of a huge news?– Ok,…
