Great news

When I opened The Angry Weather on April 2010, the idea of being an Etsy Featured seller one day was a wild, crazy dream. A thing reserved just to the awesome, wonderful crafters of the Handmade movement. People I would look up to and say "wow, I want to be like her/him". Something I permitted myself to dream of (because I'm a believer of what I do) but at the same time, not dream of too much and better focus on reality.

Today, I find myself on Etsy blog, granted the honor of being the site featured seller and honestly, I still can't believe it. Am I dreaming? Alex, could you please pinch me?

Is it necessary for me to say this means a lot to me? it does! Not only was a wonderful, unexpected surprised to be approached (I had one of those episodes on the back of mi mind of "are you sure it's me you are asking this?"), but to be chosen among so many wonderful people, is just amazing to me. Truly, like I'm dreaming.

So bear with me because I'm taking the opportunity to spread some love!

I want to thank my amazing team mates at the Aspiring Artisans Guild team, Smell Like Team Spirit team, Team Team and the Treasury League team, I truly believe that your constant support and help putting my jewelry out there for the world to see, has been an essential piece in the growth of my business. Thanks too to my tribe (as Mayi Carles says) over at Twitter, Facebook and here on my blog, for keeping up with me and for sharing your advice and experience!

I also like to thank my dear friend Marie of Markhed Designs, you have been a guide to me, my Etsy guru and hero, I'll never been able to thank you enough! You rule!

Thanks to my amazing costumers for believing in me and wearing The Angry Weather jewelry with so much love and pride! you are awesome and the best fuel there is. Thank you for your support and the opportunity you give me to keep growing!

Most importantly, I thank my wonderful husband, for being my number one fan and the sunshine of my days; for staying up late with me helping me sand and solder pieces; Your love and support mean the world to me. You are the stone upon which everything builds up. And last but not least, I thank my little, wonderful girl, because she is the inspiration behind it all, the energy that keeps me moving and the force that make me smile every day.

Wow, it's like I've won a Nobel prize! but I just wanted to make sure you know how much your support mean to me and how happy I am to be an Etsy featured seller!

THANK YOU, and please check out the feature here!!!

YAY!
