Well, it's that time of year again. Time for the fun and the parties and the get togethers... unless of course you are far from home and your friends and families.
For many, this time of year is difficult. It's a reminder of how far away we have traveled and what we have left behind. A slap in the face. What was I thinking? How can I live so far from the ones I love, the ones who love me? What to do now?
Well you congregate with people in similar circumstances that's what you do. You create your own little family. That's what we do on the Etsy Expat team. We tell each other our stories and get to know one another.... we create our own expat family. We laugh and cheer each other up and on. We promote each other's shops and make anyone who wants to stop by and chat with us welcome.
Come by and say hello. You will fit right in. We have all found a place to belong in a world that is different and strange to us. You can too.
Find us here:

Everyone is welcome.
p.s. Bring your sense of humour... we like to have a laugh

October Member of the Month:
 |
| Ultrasuede wallet made from new leftover fabric scraps. |
Well October came and went and I didn't announce the new member of the month!
Well it was me!
Yes, my name was pulled from the bowl. Thanks to Monique and her helper.
What a wonderful month it has been. My favourite time of year. My birthday month too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am Linda and I have two Etsy shops.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just One Look
where I have some of my handmade retro clothing, a few vintage items, supplies and recycled items from left over fabric pieces or upcycled materials such as denim.
 |
| I love this tie dye fabric dress |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My other shop is Sew Fine Fashions where I offer my handmade accessories like jewelry pouches, stock ties, shrugs and snoods and also ring pillows.
I hope to be adding more variety to both my shops in the coming year.

Grey spotted bag with a choice of ribbon
