W tym odcinku rozmawiam z Elą o tym, że wymówka "jest za późno na biznes" właściwie nie istnieje, zwłaszcza, jeżeli emerytura pozawala na wolność budowania kanału Youtube i szydełkowego biznesu w zgodzie ze sobą, na własnych warunkach....TUTAJ ZNAJDZIESZ KILKA SŁÓW OD ELI:Nazywam się Ela i tworzę pod marką Bajery Eli. Jestem certyfikowaną rękodzielniczką – specjalizuję się szczególnie w szydełkowaniu. Tworzę rękodzieło ozdobne i użytkowe. Projektuję autorskie wzory  i uczę, jak je samodzielnie wykonać.Moją markę stworzyłam po przejściu na emeryturę – to wtedy postanowiłam, że chcę dzielić się swoją pasją na większą skalę. Dziś prowadzę bloga, kanał YouTube i platformę edukacyjną, na której zamieszczam kursy, e-booki i wzory dla miłośników rękodzieła.Z dumą mogę powiedzieć, że mój blog zdobył 1. miejsce w ogólnopolskim konkursie Kursory Roku 2024 organizowanym przez portal Girlbosskie w kategorii Blog Twórcy.Jestem też współautorką książki „Chcę więcej. Jak zarabiać online na swojej wiedzy”, w której opowiadam, jak zbudowałam dochodową działalność online opartą na tym, co kocham – czyli rękodziele.Wystartowałam również z ofertą produktów cyfrowych na platformie sprzedażowej ETSY, co pozwala mi dzielić się moją pasją z całym światem.Rękodzieło to dla mnie nie tylko technika, ale droga do rozwoju, spełnienia i kontaktu z innymi twórczymi kobietami. Dlatego tak ważne jest dla mnie budowanie społeczności i inspirowanie innych do sięgania po więcej – niezależnie od wieku czy etapu życia.Więcej o mnie i mojej twórczości znajdziesz na stronie: https://bajeryeli.plTutaj znajdziesz więcej: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BajeryEliPinterest: https://pl.pinterest.com/bajeryeli/_created/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bajeryeliInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bajery_eli/Więcej podobnych dyskusji o biznesie handmade podczas nadchodzącej konferencji online dla twórców i fanów rękodzieła - HANDMADE BIZ SUMMIT:https://oplotki.pl/handmade-biz-summit/Pytania/Refleksje?

Sharon Johnson gave a woman a red flower and a butterfly sticker at the library. She didn't know it then, but she was on her way to end her life. That small act of kindness stopped her. She went home, asked for help, and said no one had ever done something like that for her. That moment changed both of their lives—and sparked Sharon's mission to spread hope through kindness. Sharon overcame homelessness and cancer and is now a passionate advocate for others facing similar challenges. Today, Sharon handcrafts vegan soaps and uses the proceeds to support Handmade Soaps 4 Hope!  With volunteers, she travels to underserved communities, distributing soaps, flowers, food, and more to lift spirits and combat hopelessness.

What happens when a love for art, sustainability, and soulful living collide? You get Caitlyn Child—and her work with Fireclay Tile is proof that design can be radically beautiful and rooted in deep intention.Today's guest is Caitlyn Child, the Vice President of Sales at Fireclay Tile, a certified B-Corp and pioneer in handmade, sustainability-focused tile. But Caitlyn isn't just in sales—she's in the business of storytelling through space. And she's here to show us how thoughtful materials, slow design, and a passion for people can transform more than just a home… they can shift the way we live and connect.How Caitlyn Turned Her Creative Roots Into a Purpose-Led CareerFrom antique-hunting childhoods to art history studies to a decade in social work (!), Caitlyn's journey wasn't linear—but it was aligned. She eventually found her way to Fireclay after studying architecture and falling in love with the tactile, earthy nature of clay.Now, she's helping lead a company that's redefining what it means to build sustainably in a waste-heavy industry.Why Fireclay Isn't Just Another Tile CompanyWhen we say Fireclay is doing things differently, we mean it. This isn't just another trendy brand trying to ride the green wave. They were the first tile company to use lead-free glazes back in 1986, and they've stayed true to their roots ever since. Every single tile is handmade to order in California and Washington, using domestically sourced minerals, recycled water, and reclaimed materials.They're not just carbon-neutral—they're designing beauty from the ground up with intention, artistry, and innovation.What Makes Handmade Tile So MagicalCaitlyn walked me through all the nuances that make handmade tile special—from natural variation in oxides to the way light hits a glaze. You can literally feel the difference. Their tiles tell a story: of mineral-rich soil, of skilled hands, of conscious choices.We talk about the emotional, artistic, and even spiritual connection people have with materials that come from the Earth. And how Fireclay partners with designers to translate that energy into custom, intentional work.When Design Becomes a Healing PracticeThis episode isn't just about tile—it's about the people behind the spaces. Caitlyn shares how Fireclay is empowering its reps and collaborators to create community-led events that are as soulful as they are strategic. And it's why I'm SO thrilled to be part of their upcoming Summer Solstice Gathering at their Costa Mesa showroom.This isn't another salesy mixer. It's a nourishing, heart-centered celebration of creativity, connection, and ritual. Expect astrology, tarot, design inspiration, and real talk about how to support your clients not just aesthetically—but energetically.Why This Conversation MattersIn a time where the building industry often prioritizes speed and scale, this episode is a grounding reminder that slowness, integrity, and beauty still matter. Fireclay is proof that innovation doesn't have to mean cutting corners—it can mean digging deeper.Whether you're a designer, a homeowner, or just someone who wants to bring more intention into your spaces, this episode will inspire you to think about materials—and relationships—in a whole new way.Highlights We Cover:Caitlyn's path from social work to sustainable tileWhy Fireclay puts people and planet over profit (and still thrives)How handmade tile becomes a tool for storytelling and legacyWhy community and creativity are at the heart of their business modelWhat to expect from the Summer Solstice Gathering in Costa MesaCome Join Us!Summer Solstice EventFireclay Showroom, Costa Mesa, CAThursday, June 13 | 4–7pmAstrology, tarot, sacred intention setting, community...

Every flower has a root—and so does every artist. In Episode 171 of Paper Talk Podcast, we - Quynh Nguyen, Sara Kim, and Jessie Chui - sat down to reflect on the winding paths that led us to paper flowers. From music studios to courtrooms, finance offices to wedding aisles, our stories are as unique as the blooms we now craft. What binds them together is the quiet but powerful realization that creative joy, purpose, and community can truly transform a life. “Without knowing why, it's hard to say yes to the right opportunities.” - Jessie Here, we share highlights from that conversation, in the hope that our stories will inspire you to reflect on your own journey and perhaps even find or realign with your own "why." Sara's Journey: From Violin to Petal Sara Kim, founder of Handmade by Sara Kim, began as a trained violinist. "My creative outlet from my job as a musician was making crafts," she shared. What started as simple paper cards and flowers sold for a dollar each eventually blossomed into a business that caught the attention of Anthropologie, thanks to a single Instagram tag. She emphasized the value of small beginnings, community, and leaning into joy. “It wasn't until I came back to paper flowers that I found my true why: the simple magic of turning paper into something meaningful.” Jessie's Journey: From Courtroom to Creation Jessie Chui, of Crafted to Bloom, had a thriving career in law, but a period of personal grief changed her perspective. The passing of her beloved aunt led her to reassess what truly mattered. “I wanted to express myself, to create beauty and hope.” Paper flowers became her therapy, starting with bouquets for her wedding. Over time, her practice evolved into intentional, small-batch artistry that allowed her to prioritize her family and mental well-being. “I couldn't live by deadlines anymore. I needed my business to align with the values of my life.” Quynh's Journey: From Excel Sheets to Exhibition Spaces Quynh Nguyen, founder of Pink and Posey, came from a finance and event planning background. Her journey began when a friend asked her to create paper flowers for a wedding, using sheet music and school colors. “At the time, I had never made a paper flower in my life.” That first commission sparked a series of commercial opportunities, and with her husband's encouragement, she leaned into the work full time. “I wanted to build a community because the more people making paper flowers, the more visibility we have—and the more we all thrive.” Her business acumen and deep love for collaboration have shaped not only her art but also projects like the Paper Talk Podcast, her new book, and the Paper to Profits program. Common Threads: Why Your Why Matters Through all our stories, one theme echoes loudest: finding your "why" is the key to building a sustainable, fulfilling creative life. Whether you're starting out, navigating a career shift, or simply craving deeper meaning in your work, we encourage you to reflect on: What lights you up? What kind of life do you want your art to support? Who do you want to impact? And if you don't know yet? That's okay. Your why can evolve. As Sara said, “Sometimes your why is simply: I like making beautiful things.” That's enough to begin. What inspires you most about Naomy's story?

Story Transcript:Ca: A la primavera, el barri de Pau a Barcelona era ple de colors i vida.En: In the spring, Pau's neighborhood in Barcelona was full of colors and life.Ca: Les flors decoraven les voreres i les parades de carretons, mentre el sol feia brillar els seus pètals humits pel rosat.En: The flowers decorated the sidewalks and the cart stalls, while the sun made their petals shine with the dew.Ca: No gaire lluny, la petita llibreria del barri competia en atenció amb els seus llibres novíssims i antics, apilats fins al sostre.En: Not far away, the neighborhood's small bookstore competed for attention with its brand-new and old books, stacked up to the ceiling.Ca: Era un lloc on l'aire feia olor de pàgines velles i aventures no explicades.En: It was a place where the air smelled of old pages and untold adventures.Ca: En Pau estava nerviós.En: Pau was nervous.Ca: Amb el Dia de Sant Jordi a tocar, volia trobar els regals perfectes per la seva família i amics.En: With Sant Jordi's Day approaching, he wanted to find the perfect gifts for his family and friends.Ca: Les roses per les dones i els llibres pels homes eren tradicions, però no volia regalar només coses materials aquest any.En: Roses for the women and books for the men were traditions, but he didn't want to give only material things this year.Ca: Va decidir anar a veure la seva amiga Laia.En: He decided to go see his friend Laia.Ca: Era espontània i plena d'energia, sempre sabia trobar solucions creatives.En: She was spontaneous and full of energy, always able to find creative solutions.Ca: Laia estava asseguda a la cafeteria del cantó, degustant un cafè.En: Laia was sitting at the corner café, enjoying a coffee.Ca: Quan la va veure, va somriure i el Pau li va explicar el seu dilema.En: When she saw him, she smiled, and Pau explained his dilemma.Ca: "Anem primer a la llibreria," va dir amb entusiasme.En: "Let's go to the bookstore first," she said enthusiastically.Ca: "Segurament trobarem alguna cosa!En: "Surely we'll find something!"Ca: " Però, a mesura que buscaven, van veure que el llibre que tothom volia estava pràcticament esgotat.En: But, as they searched, they saw that the book everyone wanted was practically sold out.Ca: Només quedava una còpia i ja estava reservada.En: Only one copy remained, and it was already reserved.Ca: Desanimats, van decidir buscar flors.En: Disheartened, they decided to look for flowers.Ca: Però a la floristeria, la varietat també era limitada.En: But at the florist, the variety was also limited.Ca: Aquells dies semblaven massa concorreguts.En: Those days seemed too busy.Ca: En Pau començava a desesperar-se quan la veu coneguda de la Montserrat, la seva veïna sàvia, els va cridar.En: Pau was starting to despair when the familiar voice of Montserrat, his wise neighbor, called out to them.Ca: Ella els va oferir una tassa de te i els va compartir una història dels seus temps.En: She offered them a cup of tea and shared a story from her times.Ca: "A casa, abans, fèiem regals fets a mà," va explicar Montserrat.En: "At home, we used to give handmade gifts," Montserrat explained.Ca: "Alguna cosa personal sempre té més valor que el que tothom altra ja té.En: "Something personal always has more value than what everyone else already has."Ca: "La història va encendre una espurna en Pau.En: The story sparked an idea in Pau.Ca: Juntament amb Laia, van decidir fer manualitats.En: Together with Laia, they decided to make crafts.Ca: Van crear marcapàgines personalitzats, amb petites obres d'art i enganxines.En: They created personalized bookmarks, with little artworks and stickers.Ca: També van fer roses de paper, cada una amb un missatge especial per als seus destinataris.En: They also made paper roses, each with a special message for their recipients.Ca: Quan va arribar el Dia de Sant Jordi, Pau va sentir-se orgullós dels seus esforços.En: When Sant Jordi's Day arrived, Pau felt proud of his efforts.Ca: Els regals fets a mà van encantar la seva família.En: The handmade gifts delighted his family.Ca: Cada un tenia una història darrere i van generar rialles i converses durant tota la tarda.En: Each had a story behind it and sparked laughter and conversations throughout the afternoon.Ca: Aleshores, Pau va aprendre que a vegades, els regals que porten més alegria són aquells que un fa amb el cor i les mans.En: Thus, Pau learned that sometimes, the gifts that bring the most joy are those made with the heart and hands.Ca: Així, el valor de la creativitat i la personalització li va canviar la perspectiva, i el Dia de Sant Jordi es va convertir en un dia recordar sempre.En: Embracing the value of creativity and personalization changed his perspective, and Sant Jordi's Day became a day to always remember.Ca: El barri vibrava encara més aquell dia, amb la veu dels contes als carrers i l'amor a l'aire.En: The neighborhood vibrated even more that day, with the stories reverberating through the streets and love in the air.Ca: La primavera a Barcelona, un dia més, es va convertir en un festival de vida.En: Spring in Barcelona, once again, became a festival of life.

Cursed Objects: Why Haunted Dolls and Jewelry Attract Dark Energy More Than Anything Else” Have you ever inherited an old ring and suddenly felt like your luck vanished overnight? Or maybe you brought home an antique doll that now seems to move when no one's looking…? You're not alone. In this week's episode of Psychic Christine Wallace Mystical Charms and Things, we're diving into the chilling topic of cursed objects and haunted items, with a special focus on possessed jewelry and dolls—the two objects that most often seem to attract negative spiritual energy. Why Do Certain Objects Hold Dark Energy? Throughout history, dolls and jewelry have been the center of supernatural disturbances, spiritual attachments, and paranormal hauntings. These objects—often deeply personal or used in rituals—act like energy sponges, absorbing trauma, grief, jealousy, or even dark intentions from their original owners or past events. While not every old item is cursed, spiritually charged objects like: • Heirloom rings • Antique brooches • Handmade dolls • Family relics …can carry lingering vibrations, sometimes resulting in sleepless nights, bad luck, emotional turmoil, or worse. If you've experienced: • A sudden shift in energy after acquiring an object • Strange occurrences in your home • Persistent bad luck or health issues with no clear cause • Unexplained emotions or nightmares… You may be dealing with a spiritually active or cursed item. ⸻ Need Help with Negative Energy or Paranormal Activity?

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Vanishing flora, captured on handmade PaperMinneapolis-based visual and teaching artist Ilene Krug Mojsilov recommends “Vanishing Flora: Fiber Art,” an exhibition by Amanda Degener at the Northside Artspace Lofts Gallery in Minneapolis. The show runs through May 25. Visitors can enter the gallery by calling or buzzing the office, open Thursdays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fridays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A poetry and potluck event will be held May 18.Mojsilov explains that Degener's work highlights endangered plant species. The exhibition includes 18 framed handmade paper works, with pulp manipulated to form plant imagery. Eight handmade planters, constructed from up-cycled wood, spell out “in danger.” Suspended discs depicting endangered plants, made from frozen paper, gradually melt into the planters, which are seeded with native flowers that will grow over the exhibit's duration.Krug said: I could go on and on about Amanda's artwork, because she's part scientist. She's a chemist. She researches all her subjects to the T. She's a specialist in handmade paper and the history of handmade paper, she collects fibers from all over the world.— Ilene Krug MojsilovA 21st Century Take on Theater of the AbsurdTheater maker Harry Waters, Jr. attended the opening night of Pangea World Theater's staging of “Rhinoceros,” directed by Dipankar Mukherjee. The absurdist play by French playwright Eugène Ionesco was written in 1958 and follows the transformation of a town's residents into rhinoceroses — all except one, the least heroic character.The show runs through April 19 at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis.Waters praised the production's creativity: inventive lighting, a soundscape of Indigenous music, strong choreography and a diverse cast of professional and amateur actors.Harry said: The gift, I would have to say, of what Dipankar gives to this adaptation [is] that it starts huge, and then, as the story goes, it winnows down to this very simple, important issue of the one human being that's standing in resistance to all the totalitarianism and the conformity ... how are we also taking our own stands in spite of everything that's being thrown [at us] that really allows us to know that we're not crazy, that it is not insane that you're standing strong. So that's a conceptual thing that I was really quite pleased to see without being beaten over the head by it.— Harry Waters, Jr.A Multimedia Symphony in the South MetroRetired attorney and former St. Olaf Choir singer Maren Swanson of Burnsville is excited for a joint choral performance at Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church in Prior Lake this Saturday at 4 p.m. South Metro Chorale will perform alongside Singers in Accord and Kantorei, with the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kathy Saltzman Romey.The concert features “The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci,” a multimedia symphony by Minnesota composer Jocelyn Hagen.Maren said: I heard Jocelyn speak once about having grown up in a musical family in a small town in North Dakota, and about singing and playing piano from the age of three, she said that she lay in bed as a as an older child, hearing orchestral music in her head and wishing she knew how to write the music down. Well now we get to hear the enchanting music in her head. The work has been performed all across the country and internationally. I actually heard it in Croatia in 2023. The libretto features an English translation of select texts from the notebooks of Da Vinci. The score is soaring, sometimes lyrical, sometimes percussive, always gorgeous. The video uses a new technology that allows it to be synced to the nuances of the music as conducted in a live event. In effect, the video is played like an instrument of the orchestra responding to the conductor, and so every performance is spontaneous and unique. The video features an unfolding of text and images from the notebooks and other animated images that bring the music to life.— Maren Swanson

Tanya Huang shares her entrepreneurial journey, from her experience on Dragon's Den to running a successful ring business. We talk about how customization is another barrier from the competition and how she decided to move on to customized products. We also compare Amazon vs Etsy, and how the two shape up for customized and handmade products.  Need funding for your Canadian Amazon business? Not sure if you should use a Canadian corporation or U.S. LLC to form your company? We'll cover these questions and more in our new course, Start and Grow Your FBA Business as a Canadian. Get early access now!  The Big Takeaways Customization is a really big consideration to customers and helps your products stand out in e-commerce platforms. Understanding customer needs drives product innovation. Etsy provides valuable insights into market research for customized products. Amazon's interface may not be ideal for customization. Etsy's sales have declined but are still higher than pre-COVID levels. New competitors like Temu are changing the e-commerce landscape, bringing Etsy's market share down. Etsy shoppers seek unique, personalized items over mass-produced products. Customization on Amazon is possible but comes with certain challenges. Etsy's decline may be due to increased competition and changing consumer preferences. Sales dynamics differ significantly between Etsy and Amazon. Etsy requires more attention to customer service and product uniqueness, while Amazon requires quick deliveries and cheaper products.  Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction to Tanya Huang and Her Business 02:45 - Experience on Dragon's Den 06:01 - Transitioning to Silicone Rings 07:47 - Customization and Manufacturing in Canada 11:16 - Engraving Process and Challenges 18:10 - Investing in Engraving Technology 21:34 - Market Research for Customization Ideas 24:01 - Exploring Amazon Custom and Handmade 25:42 - Etsy's Decline: Analyzing the Trends 29:09 - The Impact of New Competitors 32:34 - Etsy vs. Amazon: Sales Dynamics 36:30 - Philosophical Insights on Selling Strategies Thanks for listening!
