Hello again! I made an Etsy shop!

Hey homies! Long time, no see! A lot has happened since I last posted - I graduated college and moved back home to PA. It's been a roller coaster. I really miss Boston, but all of my days are spent applying for jobs in my dream spot: NYC! If you've been with me for a while you know how big my love for the city is and remember these oldie-but-goodie posts:

(they're all posts about my goal of living in NYC)

My goal has been New York for about 10 years now and that's what I'm going to do. We'll see where life leads me, and if it isn't NYC at first, then so be it. However, I'm determined to get there ASAP. Right now I'm currently trying to save to just move there so I can work a part time job while I search for a full time. I really don't need much, but I'm unemployed right now, and that post-grad bank account isn't looking so hot.

This brings me to my next point: I made an Etsy shop! After much peer pressure, I did it. I added some clay items I've made over the years that are looking for a happy home. I'm about to add some collage pieces I made recently and hopefully some knitted items in the near future. I really hope you check it out and share it if you can! I know how pricey art can be, so I tried to make them as reasonable as possible (about $15-$20 each!).

I named it Art Speaks because, in art therapy, art speaks when words don't. Art has an incredible way of creating community and inclusivity, and if people don't buy anything from my shop, I hope they get the urge to create something themselves because art does heal.


Here are some sneak peeks of pieces in the shop so far:





I hope you're all doing so well! I hope to post on here again, but I'm so focused on NYC and other things that my mind isn't on the blog quite yet. I really do love posting on here and I never hope to end blogging. I just need to get a burst of creativity and comfort in where and who I am, and then I'll be back at it again - I promise! Blogging, as well as many other things, is such a source of therapy for me and I'm happy I have this space.

Happy really late Tuesday, really early Wednesday, loves! Is it raining where you are? It's rained in PA non stop for the past 5 days!
