Urbanknit on Etsy Storque

So this Super Snap Clutch in Ankara got a wee mention in today's Etsy Storque article. The article is all about prints and quite frankly, I'd have been very annoyed if Urbanknit hadn't gotten a mention. Haha.

Hope your week is off to a good start.

Cool Tees Thursday- Zulu Rose

I know I have featured Zulu Rose before but I really can't get enough. Not only is this such a cool tee, the imagery used on the website, the graphics, everything is bold and colourful and lively. Needless to say, I love it!

This v-neck is called Juju Sparks! Cool or what.

Working 5 to 9

So I am featured in this great book Working 5 to 9 by Emma Jones. Are you thinking of starting a business in your spare time? Have you dreamt of being your own boss even if its for part of the day? I'd obviously say go for it!

This is a great guide to starting and moving ahead with an existing idea or to embark on a brand new one.

The Enterprise Nation website is also a great resource where you can find useful information and network with other budding entreprenuers.

I have to admit I haven't read it yet but I am just about to get my own copy! Looking forward to getting in the post.

Have a great weekend.

Makers Online- Best photo competition

I was shortlised for this competition and very pleased. I should put up the before and after. You'd be surprised with what gets cropped out of my pictures! Have a look at the competition page to see all the entries that were short-listed and of course the winner. There are some really great shots there and you can pick your favourite. Have a great weekend!

Trying out Dawanda

Thought I would try out another selling venue which is more oriented towards the European market. Its good to see Etsy's efforts to be more international. They have opened up an office in Berlin and it will be interesting to see how the development of a more international Etsy is receieved. The opening of the office is being celebrated with a Euro Week on Etsy (which is starting tomorrow which also happens to be my birthday!) check it out.

Tolomeo

The Tolomeo lamp in the Artemide collection is a beautiful light. Originally designed by Giancarlo Fassina and Michele De Lucchi. It is such a simple and classic design. The photographs do it no justice you have to see one in real life.

This is the floor mounted 'Tolomeo Mega' . It comes in various forms, wall-mounted, floor-mounted, different sizes and so on. It is polished aluminium and the shade can either be parchment paper or silk satin fabric.

There are quite 'popular' so next time you are in a nice hotel or restaurant have a look around, you just might spot one. Architects love them!
