#HelloEtsy12

Hello Etsy is an event where people meet, share and have fun. One year ago it has been organized in Berlin, this year it was cleverly and organically embedded into Dutch design week celebrated in Eindhoven, Holland.

I enjoyed meeting people I knew virtually through Etsy and people I have never met before and of course to meet Marta, Matt, Mitsy, Nicole, Liesbeth and Eduard again!

Thank you, Marta , for organizing everything so well - it was in such a right place - cozy, beautiful and warm!

Everyhing happend in the building of Piet Hein Eek - talented Dutch furniture designer and producer.
The room was fillen with calling my attention, handmade from recycled materials, vintage and very different chairs and benches, tables and huge handmade lampshades and with creative people, of course! - a very Etsy environment! :)

I've fallen in love with Diana van Ewijk and with her sense of humor :) She is fabulous ( and I told her that :))

Yann - taking pictures :)

Judith de Graaf - Dutch graphic designer living in Paris, me and Marie - French fashion designer and the person behind Malam!
It was exciting to meet Malam and her husband Yann in person, I knew their creative work from Etsy.
The most incredible of this meeting for me was that Marie speaks Russian very well! It was fun and I just couldn't believe that! haha!
