Well, it's taken a fair amount of work, a lot of waiting, more patience than I thought I had, and some minor stresses, but I'm finally open for business on Etsy!
I didn't think I would make it when people told me I was being unrealistic; I didn't think I would make it when the Belgian system told me I couldn't have a credit card; but here I am. Sometimes my stubbornness works in my favour :-)
If you are curious, go check out my shop. I'm going to try to upload daily for a little while, while I get the stock up that was meant to be there this summer, and after that I'll be uploading when I can with the creations I have time to make.
If I had some champagne right now, I would open it. And drink some. To the interesting little experiment this might turn out to be. Wish me luck!
***Edited later: I'd just like to thank Melody for passing on to me this very sweet and yummy blog award:

I'm very flattered, thank you! I'll revisit this soon....***
