I've never had a Christmas in July Sale in my shop before but this year I thought "Why not?".

Half of the year has passed and there's a long time till the next sales period. Plus it's school holidays, which makes this the perfect time to get the kids involved and start planning ahead for the upcoming holidays and celebrations!

So this year we're having a Christmas in July sale on both the main website and the Etsy shop.
Simply enter the code XMASJULY14 on check-out and you'll get 20% OFF your $20+ AUD purchases.


Come stock up for the Holidays!
Offer ends July 20, at 11:59 (AEST).

The Sydney Etsy team has come together to organise a Craft Party in Sydney, next month.

This event will feature a surprise selection of four craft projects to bring new life to cherished photographs and memories. The only thing you will need to bring is a collection of photocopies or scans of the images you wish you use on the night (find more info here).

I love discovering new shops on Etsy and this week I found the Dirty bandits and their "Love for Sale" collection, with a variety of fun typographic cards and prints for adults.

These slightly naughty and silly notes would make a great and original Valentine's Day card!

And for singles, one of these gold foiled stamped prints would be a fun and precious gift.

A lot of you might know Etsy already and some might have never heard of it.
Etsy is a marketplace where people around the world connect to buy and sell unique goods.

Occasionally, Etsy Marketing Departments around the world organize special events to promote the Etsy brand and website.

My "About" page here

About 5 months ago I moved from Portugal to Sydney.

Although I loved my country and I had a stable life, living in a brand new apartment and working full time as a graphic designer, I wasn't completely fulfilled with my job and I was worried about the future with the economical crisis going on there.
Taking the step to move so far away wasn't easy, but my boyfriend had a lot of relatives here and they welcomed and supported us through this new beginning.

My boyfriend found a nice job straight away, but for me it took a while. At first I was studying, then I started to work in casual jobs. By the time I finished the English course I was only working about 5 hours a day, so I grabbed the opportunity to spend my spare time doing something I love and that could give me some extra money.
That's when I opened the Etsy shop at www.mypartydesign.etsy.com and started taking my party decoration ideas more seriously.

This blog will not only be a showcase of my work, but also a diary of my Australian adventure. Wish me luck! :)
