Friday is my day: The House of Mouse

by Heli on September 3, 2010

Iiiiik! Are you afraid of mice? Don’t panic, these mice are cute and friendly ones and there is a lot of them! Today we will meet Anna, the other half of TheHouseofMouse.etsy.com
And the country is Netherlands, small country full of mice. Oh boy
Happy Friday!

www.etsy.com/shop/TheHouseOfMouse

Hello! My name is Anna and I am half of the team at The House of Mouse. I founded the business 2.5 years ago, and my sister Naomi joined to help me with the workload 2 months ago. As well as running my Etsy store, I am a full time housewife and Mom to baby Declan, who is 6 months old. I hope you will enjoy spending the day with me.

My day starts whenever Declan wakes up for the day, normally this is somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00, today it’s almost 6am. Which – believe it or not – is actually a bit of a treat for me. Once he is dressed and changed we go downstairs to give him is breakfast.

New: Europeans have a charity shop from now on

by vadjutka on August 30, 2010

in Deals and promotions, FYI, Handmade, News, Team projects

I have great news: a few days ago the charity shop of the European Street Team opened its doors! The shop, called Europe for Charity is operated by a really dedicated lady: Baahar.

On its shelves you may find goodies from a lot of European crafters and artists:they donated it for the charity shop that this time collects money for the flood victims in Pakistan.

Do you also want to help somehow? There are 3 easy ways to help:

- you can buy something from the shop

- you can donate something to the shop

- and at last: you can donate and shop as well!

+1: Don’t forget to tell your friends about this new European charity shop!

Here are some lovely goodies you can buy from our shiny new charity shop!

Drunken Chicken originates from Shaoxing, a province in Zhejiang China where it’s well-known for its rice wine. It’s not difficult to tell from my past [...]
