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!
