Hello everyone, I have really joyful news to share!

A few weeks ago I asked for help, for personal reasons I need to leave Handmade Europe and hand the keys to someone trusty. Thanks to the help of Estella I was contacted by a lovely EST team member: Siany from SianyKitty.

Siany has had her jewellery shop on Etsy since 2009 but got it really running and active just last winter. She lives in Paris, in the heart of Europe. She will soon start taking care of this blog, hosting Open Studios series and contacting team members for blog features and more so be prepared!

I feel happy and grateful, the blog remains in good hands so please welcome Siany and be in touch with her. Here are her contact links for you:

Big thanks for every single one of you who have been reading, following and supporting Handmade Europe, you are the best. From now on Siany will lead the blog with our precious contributors, I’ll occasionally pop in here with a post or two so we’ll see each other around. I wish everyone a beautiful spring and summer!

Welcome to ZazieWorld!

Hello! My name is Mojca, I am a designer and maker behind  ZazieWorld.

I live in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia with my husband, two kids and a cat. Here is a glimpse of the first real spring friday of this year.

Breakfast

6.45  I wake up. No need for an alarm clock because my daughter and the cat are early birds. The smell of pancakes brings my son from bed, too. A cup of coffee for good start of the day. I like to make strong Turkish coffee.

8.00  Like every school day we are in a hurry to arrive in time. Finally spring has come so we can go to school by bikes.

8.30  Computer: checking mail, Etsy, facebook…

Choosing Photos

9.00  I start to work on choosing and editing photos that I took of my jewelry on previous days. Making good photos takes a lot of time. Which one to choose? Hopefully I will list this necklace soon.

10.30  My studio is my kitchen table, so before I start working I have to make room. I believe toys in our house have legs – they always finish on the table.

10.45  Today I am pouring resin. Some unfinished things from last week and some brand new: big rings. While working in the morning I always drink black tea from my grandmother’s tea service. I adore beautiful old things that have a soul and can tell a story.

Bookshop

13.30  After lunch I ride my bike to the centre of Ljubljana to our bookshop to visit my husband and check on the cabinet where my jewelry is on display. We have a cup of coffee. We used to work together in the bookshop but nowadays I am concentrating more on my craft.

TivoliFriday

15.00   I pick up my daughter from school. Afternoons I spend with my children. My son is already at home. After a snack we decide to go to park Tivoli and nearby forest Rožnik. We live just ten minutes from the park. I adore  beginning of spring when leaves are unfolding in front of our eyes. This light green is magical. Not even a month ago we had a snow storm and freezing temperatures. I pick some leaves for my jewelry projects.

This day is so beautiful. The sun is slowly setting and we get ice cream at Tivoli castle. The promenade from the palace brings you directly to the centre of Ljubljana. We get back home, eat dinner and watch some TV before children go to sleep. My husband has returned from the bookshop. In the evening we like to have a glass of wine or a beer. Then I’m going to spend some time on computer again, finish few necklaces, maybe watch TV for a while. Our cat is still very awake. Running and climbing is the part of her evening routine.

Thank you for letting me share my day with you!
