I heard so many Love stories, met so many wonderful people!
Two faces stood out and found a special place in my soul.... First was an 8-year old boy who chose one of my creations to offer as his first Valentine's Day gift! I made this package with so much care and love and I hope I helped this little boy get his first kiss.... Several hours later, a sweet gentleman visited my shop and bought a pair of heart earrings to give his wife after 55 years of marriage!!!!
How much tenderness, how much caring, how much truth do these stories carry??
I closed late that night feeling full and optimistic. I know that his holiday is all about spending. In the ugly everyday life we live in, let's have a day to celebrate Love. We need to remind ourselves (and those around us) that we are loved. With every shape of love, with every form of expression. There is no need to buy presents. A handmade card, a flower cut from the pot, a walk holding hands are enough. They are enough to give yourself a breath and celebrate what you feel and those you have by your side. The way back was full of people with balloons, flowers, sweets, smiles....
It was a magical night!
]]>I am getting bored easily. I can't make the same thing over and over again. My creativity is restless, I seek for new materials, new techniques all the time. Handmade items are so much more than just items. They are a representation of the passion, love, and dreams of the person who made them. They are alive with energy and emotion that can be felt when you hold them in your hands. They are a way for people to share their stories and passion through their craft. Whether it be a bag, a piece of furniture, or a piece of jewelry, the love and energy that went into creating it is undeniable.
This is exactly what BohemianSummerTales is. The stories of my life, a reflection of my experiences and my journey to becoming the designer I am today. Every piece of jewelry I create is special, crafted with care and attention to detail. It reflects my unique style and personality, as I strive to create pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful. Each piece I make is inspired from something different. From the materials I use, to the colors I choose, to the shapes and designs that I create, my jewelry collection tells a story.
Every single piece you buy from me, already includes the memory of my own feelings while I was creating it. Unpretentious and relaxed moments, full of light and colors. A picture from a trip, a fairytale I read on a rainy day next to the fireplace, the tiles in my nannas house where I spent my childhood summers, my moms jewelry box that I was opening in secret and playing with her jewelry pretending to be "a lady"..
Each item is crafted with love and care, designed to be worn and enjoyed. My deepest desire for you, an owner of one of my pieces of jewelry, is that you create your own moments with it and make some beautiful memories. I hope that when you pass it on to the next woman, whether it may be your daughter, your friend, or any beloved person, this little piece of jewelry will carry with it pictures and emotions of real joy and happiness. Let this piece of jewelry be a reminder of all the special times you have shared and let it bring a smile to the next woman who receives it. May this piece of jewelry bring you luck and love in your life!
