GIVEAWAY - Loula ... the crochet lady!!!!

Hello my beloved friends!!!!

 What I love in etsy, is that you can admire the creations and art from fellow artists, most of them just following their hobby. I adore to find more items with a different technique, so my latest detections are the crochet jewelry! Yea… I know… you know them already! I didn't  But I was even more lucky because I have not only discovered them , but to meet a wonderful person behind them. A lady from a Greek island, a very polite person, a very talented lady and great artist. And when I say very talented… wow just adore her creations! From bags to invitations, from jewelry to hats! All of them really cute and really unique!

Bird brooch from fabric

Since I was a kid, I remember my mother crocheting, knitting, sewing  and me firstly playing with her threads, yarns and supplies and then learning from her the way to make my own projects. She is not here anymore, but  when I use some of her tools I feel her next to me.

That's how I started to create things myself too!And still now...I  feel the same thing, as I was a child! I play !

Bamboo handle bag Handbag 

With threads, fabrics, yarns, paper, and whatever material inspires me with its color or texture, I try to find the next thing to create! Creating makes me happier!

 {Guest post from Loulalalou} 


Hello My friends!!!

I am really happy to have my friend Loula from Loulalalou as guest blogger today! I think we are lucky to have a beautiful post about a gorgeous island in Greece today that officially Summer is here! so....

*******

Hi!!

I'm Loula and I would like to introduce you the island I live. Syros!

Let me share with you the part of Syros that I love more! Some secluded,wild and peaceful  places in the island that you can enjoy walking and following the island's paths. Great locations that car cannot approach and the “human civilization”is far away.

Γεια χαρά!

Είμαι η Λούλα και σήμερα θα ήθελα να σας γνωρίσω το νησί που μένω.Τη Σύρο!

Θα ήθελα να μοιραστώ μαζί σας το κομμάτι της Σύρου που αγαπώ περισσότερο! Την απομονωμένη, άγρια και ήσυχη πλευρά του νησιού, που μπορεί κανείς να απολαύσει περπατώντας τη και ακολουθώντας τα μονοπάτια της! Κάποια σημεία που δεν πλησιάζει αυτοκίνητο και που ο “πολιτισμός” είναι μακρυά.

So the only things that you will need here ...are your senses!...OK, and maybe a comfortable pair of shoes and some water!

Άρα το μόνο πράγμα που χρειάζεται κανείς εδώ ... είναι οι αισθήσεις του!...Εντάξει...ίσως και ένα ζευγάρι άνετα παπούτσια και λίγο νερό!

So have a look at some things that I really enjoy in my walks!

Δείτε λοιπόν μερικά από τα σημεία που μου αρέσει να συναντώ κάνοντας τη βόλτα μου...

Small dales where some streams flow inside them in winter,

Μικρές ρεματιές όπου καμιά φορά το χειμώνα σχηματίζονται ρυάκια,

Ruined cottages,
ερειπωμένα αγροτόσπιτα,

the view from the top of a hill,
τη θέα από ψηλά,

the stone fences which we call “xerolithies” and
τις πέτρινες μάντρες που λέγονται “ξερολιθιές” και

the sunlight on the stone,
το φως του ήλιου πάνω στην πέτρα,

swimming and looking at the sunset in a beach,
το μπάνιο και το ηλιοβασίλεμα σε κάποια παραλία,

walking with my family and friends!
το περπάτημα με την οικογένειά μου και φίλους !

Αnd last but not least me in one of my favorite spots!
και τέλος αλλά εξίσου σημαντικό, εγώ σε ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου σημεία!

This is my island, my dreams, my feelings....my life!

Αυτό ειναι το νησι μου, τα ονειρα μου, τα συναισθηματα μου.... η ζωή μου!

*******

wow...amazing trip!  Thank you Loula!!!
