Hi Ann - thank you for inviting me to the team!
I come from a family of collectors & pack rats - so vintage, collecting & crafting runs in my blood!
My German grandma taught me how to sew & do embroidery - we worked on various projects over the years, and improving my skill to making clothing.
I developed a love for and talent with chalk paint to change my own home decor, which led me to upcycle/repurpose for others to enjoy as well - that is how I started my etsy shop 1 year ago :)
My talent with painting came in handy recently with the home my boyfriend and I just moved into - we had to rehabilitate the bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and last but not least the kitchen - which we turned into a retro 50's design!
I have a daughter, 3 kitty cats, and 2 chinchillas; along with being a mom to my boyfriends 3 children.
I do get pretty busy between work, home life and my etsy shop - honestly, I love etsy so much I wish my shop was my full-time job!

Hello!
My name is Heather and I love vintage romantic decor. Just about everything I love falls into the Shabby category with my favorite being Shabby French. I love true shabby chic. Shabby and chic. Mixing elegant things like chandeliers or ornate old mirrors with old chippy paint finishes and patina's and faded fabrics. Love it!
I have loved playing store and decorating since I was a little girl. So, it's no surprise that it became my line of work! : )
I have 2 furry kids. One blue tick beagle and a mini-pin. Both were rescued. I love all animals but especially dogs.
Thanks for the invite to the team!

Hello, my name is Sheila, and I crochet rag rugs. I love the shabby chic look and am thinking of redoing my whole house in this style. I love the art of taking something that would not be useful to someone else, and repurposing it into something beautiful

Hi,
I'm Dawn and I love all things vintage, cottage, shabby and pretty. I've collected vintage china for years and always been creative. I started making cakes stands as a hobby and now run my business full time creating items from vintage china, glass and vinyl. There's something for every pocket from teacup bird feeder to bespoke teacup chandeliers.

Hello and thank you for offering me an invite to your team. I think I will be very comfortable here because I find that the majority of lampshades I enjoy making seem to have the cottage decor appeal. I am especially fond of showing off beautiful vintage embroidery and utilizing it within my lampshades. Thanks again!!

Hey,
My name is Ave, I live and work in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, little North European country. I live in 100 years old wooden urban house with my husband and 3 children. We run a little family workshop to recycle, upcycle and restore old furniture and historical building details.

I am a designer and upholsterer, urban gardener and promoter of sustainable urban living style. I salvage flea market finds and transform them to vintage decor and home accessoirs.

My great passion is upcycling and repurposing: old furniture, kitchen utensils, vintage lace, reused building material and vintage paper material are my favourite. Repaper art is my meditation.

Thank You for including me to this team, I really appreciate it. It´s so important to find supportive teams, to hold motivation and to be inspired by other incredible Etsy shops. You are all so talented, so I feel honored to be here.
