This week I had a revelation,

and last night while having a little trouble sleeping like I usually do, I though of making this post, word by word in a half dream, half awake state…

So far, this year, I have wandered around in my own little world, which can sometimes be troubled by the smallest things, or not bothered at all for outside things..

“You are too happy” was said to me at 5 in the morning a couple of days ago and as funny as it might seem I realized, that I guess I am, and sometimes this makes me forget many things, and I tend to not worry at all, even in situations I should worry about..

I have taken 2 months, to get to know myself better, I think new surroundings are the best thing you can do to yourself, because when different things come up you have to learn,get used to, adapt..which leads me to the core of this post.

It can be hard sometimes, but once a balance is found and “what I want” is settled, things get so much easier.

I got here and found myself surrounded by possibilities there are fairs every week, amazing workshops, jewelry shops, tools, and I think for a moment there I went blank and was left with a million questions, “what do I do?” if I feel like doing it all! The best way I can describe it is like bringing a kid to a toy store and giving him the white flag, “Go ahead use what you want” .. where do you begin?

There has to be some sort of order, also, I plan to stay here for a while, there is no need to rush anything.

So baby steps,

First: There is this fair 250kms away from my house which I agreed to go,

my plan is to see Spain this way, grab my bag with displays,jewelry and business cards and go get lost..

Second : there is a Gallery-Shop which will display my jewelry for 3 months,  more on this later..

They asked me that besides the jewelry and displays I needed to display some sort of banner with my brand or logo so people knew who made it, which is quite important.

Since I am always “behind a tree” (translated from Spanish, meaning lost!), I had to run and come up with something, to put in that little banner, boxes and bags.

Do you like it?

It is as closed as we could go for my signature, plus my displays are wood and black so I also made a version with black background and white fronts..

Sometimes I forget the business side,image,branding,pricing, marketing is so important… is not just about making stuff.

Oh my, feels like there is so much to do, and now with this 2 things coming I feel motivated, a little more focused and like things will be good in the future.

Now is time to think what to make, and go lock myself in the workshop!

Wishing you a warm, sunny Sunday  in your corner of the world
