Now let's learn more about our talented designer!!

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself.  

I am a mommy, a wife and when I can find time to breathe, an artist. I love to draw, to paint flowers, to make fabric and of course I love to make flowers.
 

2. How did you get started with your shop?

One day in late March, I went out looking for a small flower to put in my hair, but I could only find plastic flowers. I have always believed that women could/can do anything, so I decided to make my own flower. I attached the little flower to my hair and went out. Surprisingly, I received many compliments! Well to make this long story short, I made four more flowers and went on vacation. On my way home, I started to think about Etsy and my flowers. I wondered if anyone would like my little flowers and as I sat there with my suitcase on the floor, I decided to list my flowers on Etsy in April. HandmadeFlowers.etsy was born that day:) Yippie!

3. Why do you love what you do?

I love being able to express myself, to learn more about myself and to spend time with myself. Making flowers allows me to be an artist.

4. Add anything else you'd like us to know about yourself, your shop, or your experiences with Etsy.

I thank all of my customers for giving me a wonderful experience, for teaching me and for making me laugh. 

Thank you Gisele for sharing your talent with us! 

She is fabulous to work with as well.
