I thought I would share with you all this beautiful animation which I found called 'Lueur d' espoir' which translates as "Glimmer of Hope" for my Film Friday this week. The animation is by artist <a href="http://www.damientran.com/">Damien Tran </a></div>

As we approach November, don't forget to put the date for the Dorset Team Christmas Fair 2017 in your diary. It is going to be a fantastic, festive day out and the perfect place to pick up some really unique Christmas gifts this year whilst also supporting local makers and sellers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fair is FREE ENTRY and this year, for the first time, the fair will be running over two days which means even more stalls to visit! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It makes a lovely day out as not only is there all the stalls but also a lovely cafe which overlooks the river so you can shop until you drop and then stop in for a cake and tea!</div>

<br />
Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
I have some really exciting news to share with you all. If you follow me on social media, you might have seen that last week I took a rather mysterious trip to London but couldn't say where I was going! I can now reveal that I was in London at the Etsy UK office to take part in their Etsy Educators programme where I have been selected and trained along with 8 other sellers to become an Etsy educator. Pretty exciting right!?<br />
<br />
<b>What is the Etsy Educators programme?</b><br />
<br />
The Etsy Educators programme is taking 9 experienced Etsy sellers and giving them the resources and training to run their own educational course for new sellers. Each of us will be writing our own course and drawing on our experiences as seasoned Etsy sellers to help others to launch their creative businesses on Etsy.com. The courses will take place in October and range from 1 day courses to month long programmes.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>My course</b><br />
<br />
I have decided to run my course online as a programme to help you set up a shop in 31 days called "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/744715042402281">Create your creative business in 31 days</a>" which will run during October.<br />
<br />
The course will include two webinars with a live chat box which means you can watch me talk and go through what you need to set up a shop and ask any questions you have there and then. You will also have access to a dedicated online support forum where you can connect with others taking the course and receive support from me and at the end of the month (October) you should be able to launch your Etsy shop which is just in time to reach the Christmas rush.<br />
<br />
You can find more information about my course including my booking form <b><a href="http://thedorothydays.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page.html">HERE</a></b><br />

<br />
It has been such a long time since I last blogged (January....eek!). My blog has taken a bit of a back seat this year as I have been concentrating on building my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedorothydays/">Instagram account </a> and also making new products for my shop.<br />
<br />
At the start of this year, I was busy making lots of knitted hats and this summer I have been concentrating on making lots of summer jewellery and products.<br />
<br />
I thought I would share with you all today some of my favourite new products in my Etsy shop.<br />
<br />
I hope that you will like them too.<br />
<br />
<br />

First up are these beautiful butterfly wing earrings. I thought these would be perfect for summer with a floaty floral dress or would look great at a wedding or summer prom.<br />
<br />
I also experimented with my new range with some new product photography and I am really pleased with how it has turned out.<br />

My latest listing are these lovely "Thank You" tags with flag shaped detail. I thought they would be perfect for using at a wedding as favour tags or for a bridal shower or baby shower. They come in packs of 10 tags and would add a vintage/rustic look to an event. </div>

I was really excited to get this vintage boat print listed in my shop as it is the largest vintage print that I have had for sale in my shop so far and makes quite an impact. The colours in this print are really beautiful and it is in great condition. Would be great for adding a nautical element to a room. </div>

I have listed a series of beautiful vintage postcards. I think this one is my favourite of the postcards I have listed so far. The postcard hasn't been used so could either be framed and displayed or used as a greetings card or, if you are feeling really creative, could also be used in a crafting project. </div>

Hope you all had a fantastic week and that you are looking forward to the weekend.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For this week's Film Friday I wanted to share with you all a film called Gabriel which is a short film about 16-year-old Gabriel Neris, a determined para-athelete, on his way to competing at Tokyo 2020. He was made famous after he completed a 100m race, even though his prosthesis had fallen off.</span><br />

Gabriel Neris is a 16 years old para-athlete who's not afraid of pursuing his dreams.<br />
<br />
He got famous after losing his prothesis in the middle of a 100m competition in São Paulo, Brazil.<br />
Even under a lot of pain, he made a way to reach the finish line.<br />
<br />
This film dives inside Gabriel's life and background, leading us through his fellings and motivations.<br />
<br />
Directors: Douglas Bernardt and Squarehead<br />
Director of Photography: Lucas D. Oliveira<br />
<br />
Produced by Stink São Paulo<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hope that you enjoy the film, it is beautiful shot and produced and is also a really inspirational story.</span><br />

<br />
I am trying to blog more regularly in 2017 and one of my favourite features on my blog last year was my Film Friday feature where I shared interesting films that I found that week. I had a lot of fun watching all these short films and sharing them with you all so it was a feature that I was really keen to continue in 2017. I find that watching the films is a fun way to take 5 minutes out of my day to do something different and take a bit of a break from the work I am doing and I hope that you will also find the same. I have some really great short films to share with you all over the coming weeks!<br />
<br />
For my first Film Friday of the year I am sharing Power Hungry by <a href="http://www.benjybrooke.com/">Benjy Brooke</a>. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Benjy is a d<span style="background-color: white;">irector, animator and illustrator, currently working out of Ithaca, NY.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Something that really made me smile over Christmas was that the amount of searches in my shop for wedding items dramatically went up which means that lots of you got engaged over the Christmas break! How exciting. Congratulations!</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We had an engagement over the Christmas break in our family too and the bride-to-be has already been using Pinterest as a way to start planning her big day. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Over the last few years my Wedding Pinterest board has grown and become quite popular. It is my absolute favourite board on my Pinterest account so today I thought I would share it with you all and hope that if you got engaged over Christmas or that you are planning a wedding this year, that it might prove useful! I try to keep it regularly updated so new pins are being added all the time.</span></span><br />

<br />
Happy 2017!! Been seeing lots of bloggers that I follow post up on Twitter recently sharing their really lovely year review posts or posts on New Year's resolutions but seems as my resolution is to blog more regularly and it is 9pm at night as I write this I thought I would do something <strike>easier</strike> different and <strike>frantically write</strike> save my resolution/ year review post for later in the month.<br />
<br />
Monday normally is my motivation Monday/ inspiration post so today I thought I would share with you all what I feel should be my quote of the year for 2017.....<br />
<br />

<br />
Very excited that it is less that 2 weeks to go until the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/866031100155674/">Dorset Team Christmas Fair 2016 </a>and also just over 1 month until Christmas!<br />
<br />
I always find my boyfriend really difficult to buy presents for. He loves films and music but if there is something he wants to listen to or watch he will normally buy it as quickly as he can when it is released. He is quite difficult to buy clothes for, doesn't like stereotypically 'man stuff' etc so aside from buying him gin or packs of socks (!!) I struggle for inspiration with products on the high street so normally try instead to get him something really different from Etsy.<br />
<br />
I have managed to buy some really lovely and unique gifts from there including a handmade leather bag last Christmas and an architecture drawing for his birthday.<br />
<br />
I am putting together this Gifts for Him gift guide to give inspiration for anyone else who struggles to know what to buy for the man in their life! All of the following sellers have online shops which I will link but if you are local to Dorset, you can also come along on the 3rd December to browse their stalls at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/866031100155674/">Dorset Team Christmas Fair</a>.<br />

<br />
I am hoping to buy as many gifts as possible from local makers this year as it means I can get some really unique gifts that the recipient will really treasure and at the same time support local businesses, something that is so important.<br />
<br />
If you are local, please do come along to the event, there are 70 different stalls so a great selection of different crafts and products and many sellers are bringing along fair exclusives. Many sellers are also taking part in a Buy and Collect promotion where you can purchase online in advance of the event and collect free of charge on the day. Find out more here: <a href="http://dorsetteam.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/buy-and-collect-at-dorset-team.html">http://dorsetteam.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/buy-and-collect-at-dorset-team.html</a><br />

<br />
I have been really loving the whole industrial look recently and have seen some really cool things that people have been making out of piping, tubing and other industrial materials.<br />
<br />
Today I wanted to share with you all this wonderful tutorial on how to make your very own industrial style table. The tutorial is really quick and easy but the finished result is really effective. I love that the design is versatile so you can also switch from tall bed side table height table to a coffee table just by tipping the table and changing the wooden board.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For those of you local to Dorset, please be sure to put Saturday 3rd December in your diary for the Dorset Team Christmas Fair!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the third year running, the Dorset Team will be returning to the Allendale Centre in Wimborne for their annual Christmas Fair. There will be 70+ stalls and the fair will offer a fabulous selection of locally made art and craft. There will be something for everyone at the fair, <span style="color: #1d2129;">from handmade clothing and accessories, to ceramics, woodwork, artwork, jewellery and homewares, all of which have been made locally. For those of you who are creative minded, many sellers will also be selling crafting supplies and DIY crafting kits, perfect if you would like to make your own Christmas gifts this year. This is also a brilliant opportunity to speak to local independent entrepreneurs in the area and perhaps get inspired to start up your <a href="http://etsy.me/2exDhsr">own shop.</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The event coincides with Small Business Saturday which is all about supporting small local businesses. You will find some really unique gifts here which you won't find on the high street.</span></div>

<br />
I love seeing and hearing about other people's creativity so thought I would look for something on this theme when I was thinking of what to share with you all today for Film Friday.<br />
<br />
Then I came across this....! So very clever and actually works really well!<br />

<br />
I am heading off to New York next week for the Etsy Seller's Advisory Board so this film seemed fitting for my Film Friday because it is set in New York.<br />
<br />
The first few lines of the film also summed up my feelings (or lack of!) for pigeons but I found it really beautiful how the artist Duke Riley talks about taking time to look at the world around you.<br />
<br />
This film totally shifts your perspective from viewing pigeons as mundane, ugly and something you ignore to a creature of beauty, resilience and intelligence.<br />
<br />
The film is beautifully shot and watching them fly is somewhat mesmerising.<br />
<br />

<br />
I hope that you have all had a wonderful week. As you might know, I have recently started blogging again after a long long break. Really excited to get going again. I was looking back over my blog and deciding which features to keep and continue and which to not continue and come up with new ideas. The Film Friday feature that I used to fun was one of my favourite features on my blog so was one I couldn't wait to bring back.<br />
<br />
Often when life gets busy and you are constantly on the go it is difficult to find time to sit down and just enjoy something without doing anything else or thinking of anything else. I think this is such an important thing to do. For me, watching a short film/ clip does just that, it takes just 5 minutes out of your day to think of something new and exciting and to just relax and stop for a bit.<br />
<br />
I hope that you get the same feeling by watching the videos which I will be posting over the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
This one I thought was particularly beautiful. It was from a series that the Whitney museum did and here, artist Martha Wilson discusses John Coplan's work as well as her own.<br />
<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
Happy September :). Can't believe that the Autumn is here already, I love this time of year but also will be sad to say goodbye to summer.<br />
<br />
As I went to write this post I checked when I last blogged and realised I haven't blogged since April ....eek! I have been super busy lately so the months have passed by but hope to get back into blogging again this Autumn so watch this space :) !!<br />
<br />
Thank you for your continued support over on my other social media pages and of course everyone who has purchased from me lately. I had a really busy August in terms of sales, views and custom orders so thank you all so much.<br />
<br />
Hope September is a great month for you all.<br />

Who doesn't!?<br />
<br />
There are only <strike>three</strike> four things that make Monday's a little bit more manageable...<br />
<br />
1) Lots and lots of tea<br />
2) Watching or reading something motivational or inspiration to get you all fired up and excited about the week ahead<br />
3) Cute things<br />
4) All of the above!<br />
<br />
Normally each Monday I try and post something motivational or inspirational (and I do encourage drinking tea whilst reading my blog post! ) but today I felt more in the mood for super cute animals to start the week....enjoy!<br />
<br />
This is Arnie, he is a 8 week old sausage dog and is possibly the cutest dog I have ever seen...!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So last week I shared with you all a video from a Tedx talk and today I thought I would share with you all another one. A lot of their videos are quite short and also uplifting so I often watch them in my lunch break or first thing in the morning to get the day going.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This talk by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/grahamshawdraw/">Graham Shaw</a> particularly appealed to me as I am always saying that I would love to be able to draw but I am awful at drawing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He teaches you how to draw really simple cartoon characters to prove that anyone can draw.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stickmen and women are about my limit (!) so I was intrigued to try.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is my very first drawing.... it is no masterpiece but not tooooo shabby for a first attempt and was a lot of fun giving it a go. When I attempt to draw I end up waving the pen or pencil in front of the page for ages and being indecisive so I quite liked that with this you have to be quite quick and decisive about it and can't think too hard about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you do watch the video and give it a go I would love to see your drawings, please upload a picture to either Twitter, Instagram or Facebook and tag me in it (@thedorothydays) </div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Hello everyone,</span></h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Happy April! Today I was featured in this beautiful collection by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/HappyScatter">Jennifer from Happy Scatter</a> called "Rain Showers, Pretty Flowers". I love the collection as blue is my favourite colour and this reminds me of the weather we have been having recently!! The treasury was inspired by clouds, april showers, and the lovely flowers that are appearing everywhere. All items that appear in this collection are available in Etsy shops which are run by Dorset Team members.</span></h1>

My <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/260274825/yellow-buttercup-flowers-vintage-print">buttercup print </a>was also included in the collection. </div>

Groß who seeks to overcome his fears and anxieties and step outside of his comfort zone so he can achieve more and also wants to help others to do so too. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He challenges himself to step outside of his comfort zone by consciously doing different activities and tasks such as laying on the floor in a public space which make him feel nervous or uncomfortable. I thought this would be great to share with you all and hopefully you will find it as inspiring and motivating as I did. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Even those of us who feel they are pretty confident have things that hold us back. Perhaps not approaching someone at an event that you would love to talk to or not pushing yourself to try something new that you have always wanted to do but never had the confidence to do. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The idea behind it has roots in exposure therapy. You feel nervous and anxious about doing it but then after a while your anxiety lessens. If you keep repeating this you then end up feeling less anxious and fearful, get better at dealing with that anxiety and push yourself to try new things. </span></span><br />

Hooray! Spring is here at last. Spring is one of my favourite times of year. After a long winter it is lovely to see all the blossom, daffodils and other spring flowers blooming. The clocks changed recently and it is so lovely to have the lighter evenings. Anyone else really love this time of year?<br />
<br />
The print pictured is from my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheDorothyDays?section_id=13702423&ref=shopsection_leftnav_10">vintage floral collection </a>each is an original book plate taken from a vintage book on European flowers rather than a copy or reproduction. They are perfect for Spring decorating and look lovely displayed like I have in the photo or when framed.The Dorothy Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08067879239462191234noreply@blogger.com0
